Artists, Tutus, and Rollergirls, Oh My!
Sheesh. I've been a busy busy panda.
A few weeks ago I did my second Portrait of the Artist series, this time with local artist Joe Garber after discovering his work at Cupcake Royale. He has this series called Demons which features a lot of animal-headed humans, so obviously I was completely smitten with it. I contacted him and he was totally down for helping me out, which was great! Here's the portrait that came to mind when I was planning the shoot. I borrowed the antlers from a gal at work whose husband hunts.
You can check out more of his work over on the blog.
Then last Friday I got back in touch with Kristine Hawthorn (aka Helene Hawthorne) who designed the costume for The Witch. We're doing some trade work together and she asked me to take some photos of her new tutus for her etsy store. Here's one of my faves from that set featuring Shonna as the model, a friend of Kristine who I definitely want to work with again!
Then on Sunday I did not one but TWO shoots. First up in the morning a friend of mine who moved to Portland got ahold of me and asked to do a quicky shoot for fun, and I can't ever say no. Besides, it gives me a chance to practice my on-location fashion shooting and using natural light.
Right after that I had to rush off to take photos for Sarah's roller derby teacher who needed promo shots for the league that's starting up.
Like I said, busybusybusy!
Oh, and it's not stopping there! Tomorrow I'm meeting with a friend who's got an actual paying gig she wants me to help photograph and on Thursday I'm meeting with an incredible Steampunk artist who I featured on my blog a few weeks ago to talk about doing a portrait session for her and to also do some promo photos for her!
No rest for the wicked!
