behind!

AHH.

I just had a horrible realization. I'm technically 7 weeks behind on my 52 weeks project. I started basically around new years, so week one was the first week of January. I just counted and it looks like this weekend should be when I'd be taking my 22nd self portrait. I believe I've only posted 15... I'm not going to post old ones that I haven't shown yet, I will continue to take new ones.

So this is mostly a reminder. I have 7 to catch up on in the next week, 8 if I stretch it over two weeks. IT WILL BE DONE!

You can always check my progress in the Flickr set: 52 weeks!

Coming soon: Jameson and Lysanne

Back in mid April, I did a photoshoot for Miranda Scott. She's just finished the Jewelery program at George Brown this year and wanted to have some of her pieces photographed on a model. The lovely Astrea modelled for us and Katie Melanson did the makeup!

I'm not normal, originally uploaded by avalilly.

So behind. Should probably stop hanging out on the ceiling. It takes up too much of my time... time that could be spent getting caught up on this 52 weeks project! (This was a much longer edit than anticipated.)

Coming soon: a shoot with Astrea for Miranda Scott jewlery and my first set of couples photos for some lovely friends of mine (I'm really excited about these)!

So, I'm a bit behind on my 52 weeks project. I should be able to catch up over the next week though.

I think this is my favourite one of the project so far. I've never tried anything like this before, so I'm happy that it [eventually] turned out! It was frustrating to shoot, but the photos are pretty neat.

There's something wrong with the autofocus on my camera I think. Both my 18-55 and 50mm seem to have trouble focusing, especially on something as simple as a figure infront of a plain background. I had to get a friend to stand in for me so I could manual focus on them and then I just tried to stay in one spot for the rest of this shoot.

Hopefully, it's just in a bad mood...

Here is a selection of the photos from Cecilia's set of the red lipstick series:

This girl is awesome. She hits so many poses and makes it look like there's a wind machine on her hair when there definitly isn't! Took me a while to narrow down her shots to a manageable amount, so many useable photos!

I always love working with Astrea. She looks good pretty much anywhere you put her infront of the camera. Makes my job so easy!

rouge: jamie

Back in February, I did a photoshoot with three lovely ladies; Jamie, Astrea, and Cecilia. The theme is just red lipstick, I have no specific artistic direction from there. Whatever happens happens!

Here are a few from Jamie's set:

(Taylor stopped by too!)

Jamie is so fun to work with. Her giant eyeballs catch the light so well!
