The Duality of Zoë

I occasionally get asked about how I got a certain look in a photo, and I invariably have to give most of the credit to the type of light in the shot.  Being a rather lazy person and specific in my post-processing, I tend to rely heavily on the light.  Here is an example of how drastically the tone of a photo can change using the same light source and only turning the subject 90 degrees. Aside from the obvious expression and the processing in the one on the left, her chin was facing the window (best and only light source used here) to create a low angle scheme that put the shadows in unnatural places, giving the "horror look." Turn her sideways so the light is on her right (next photo) and the look is completely different; soft, with natural shadows falling sideways across her face rather than up her nose.

 Plus, she's not doing her Bun-Fu thing and is smiling :)

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like staying in and shooting polaroids.  Partay!

Halloween Polaroid Time!

 

 

It wouldn't be Halloween without the obligatory polaroid.  Really.  It wouldn't.

So long, Summer

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

The things they do, the words they say

Always smiling

More grainy goodness. I think this was at a little soirée over at Ev and Val's place. Or, I could totally be making that up and not have any idea where or when this was...

a bit dissheveled

Developed a mystery roll of film the other night that had been kicking around in my bag for a year or so. It's like time travel, or short-term memory loss, or fiction. Anyway, since I had so much fun checking these out, I've slapped an embargo an any photos taken in the last twelve months...

OK, so maybe it's just an excuse to not post as often. Well, except for thirty-five or so mingy black and whites.

Carnivale Machina

Here are some night polas from Orem Summerfest. Back when it was hip. You know, like, two months ago.
