“With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?” Oscar Wilde
This is a shoot I scheduled to experiment with using the harsher light of mid-day (and so of course I went and found open shade). But! Look at the great location I found at the same time. Baked_beka (IG) was a great model to work with for this type of shoot. She was totally able to “tires, but make it fashion” for me.
This was a fun shoot with ciarraparra (IG)— it went from downtown Stockton (rough even by my Fresno-raised standards) to the University of the Pacific (fancy!). I think this photo demonstrates one of my strengths as a photographer— utilizing “found light.” Found light is unmodified natural or ambient light, no reflector, no flash, no white piece of paper- just the light as it exists in and is modified by its immediate surroundings. It doesn’t always (okay, rarely) works. But when it does, I love the intimate feeling it provides.
Mari.Callista (IG) was nice enough to meet me at oh fuck o’clock in the morning at Sutter’s Fort so I could see what morning light is like. It’s really nice, but did I mention oh fuck o’clock?
Flowers, and the Moon
