“It’s Time.” Self-Portrait Challenge. Levitation.

Hi everyone!

            I hope everyone is doing well and keeping busy.  I myself have recently joined a group of photographers that meetup every month.  My goal is to become inspired and most of all learn.  So,  I recently entered a photography contest that focused on fine art photography.  The challenge was to create your own levitation photograph.  I had never done this nor did it ever occur to me to do it.   Challenge accepted!  My first thought was that it would be great as my self-portrait challenge.  My second thought, when the hell is the occurrence of levitation perfectly acceptable or expected?  I could not simply take a photograph of myself levitating.  I felt the thought to be incomplete.  I had to create a story.  I had to create a world where levitation would be expected, where levitation would be the only logic.  So, this is the result.  As far as the long hair, I have an incredible set of hair extensions.  This was used to show motion and direction.

 

“It’s Time.”

Fine-art photography really is a challenge for me.  It is completely out of my comfort zone.  Yet, I am achieving my goal of being creative and becoming inspired.  I do feel that I need to work more on my blending of different photographs.  It was also extremely difficult for me to make sure that the different layers had the same hues, brightness, contrast, and color balance.  This  artwork is actually a composite of five different photographs.  On another note, I discovered a really neat way of doing sun rays.  I will post the link to the youtube video later.

Enjoy!

“Feeling Colorful. “

Hi everyone! I have been trying to challenge myself creatively. My first attempts were not so risque, but they were a step in the right direction. This is me. I feel that this is a work of art and not just a portrait.  I am wearing a tutu on my head and glow in the dark latex body paint on my face.  I also painted in Photoshop to enhance the look.  I used a black light and had my camera on a timer. I call this, “Feeling Colorful.”

Enjoy,

My GlOB I miss you! BLOG Love.

I have missed my blog so much.  It has been a few months and I have denied myself the satisfaction of working on my blog.  It is not so much work, but a conversation.  A conversation with you and with myself.  My blog has kept my sanity and for these pasts few months, it was almost non-existent.  So here I am, ready to make amends with my blog and bask in its love.

These past few months have been incredibly busy.  And as a photographer, that is a great problem to have.  What’s new?  Not only have I kept busy with my photography business, I am also running a dance studio. Eeek!  Just a tad busy.  Other than that, I have time to shower at least.

My photography business picked up during the summer and is now winding down into fall.  But don’t forget: tons of editing!  The dance studio keeps me busy on a daily basis leaving only the weekends to do events.  So my Sundays, have become gold.  Sundays are when I spend time with my family and catch up on sleep.

I have so many excuses for not keeping up with my blog, so I will just say it. “Blog I’m sorry for neglecting you.  I miss you. I love all that you do, and I want to build on our relationship.” That’s a good start right?
