Marilyn took Jimmy and I with her to George’s Island, one of Boston’s Harbor Islands. There’s a crumbling old abandoned military fort out there that is totally open for exploration. So we did. The results are spectacular. By her request, I am posting a few, but won’t have the rest for awhile here. All of these use a special super wide lens known as a ‘fisheye’ that adds funky distortion around the edges.
Thank you SO MUCH to those who I’ve been working with to schedule bridal sessions for the juxtaposition project. I’ve only released two edits out of the four we’ve shot so far, and already everyone seems to love the work. And those of you who have helped on the session, pointed people in my direction, and sent words of feedback and encouragement (you know who you are)… I LOVE YOU.
I have been making the first girls wait a bit while I get things in order, but now I am pleased to announce that the final design is in. I hired James Kershaw to design a graphic to work as a standalone and to layer over the juxtaposition photos… for display and for the BOOK PROJECT… and he did a fantastic job. I look forward to using this beautiful graphic.
Between weddings, travel, bridal shoots, and Boston boudoir photography, I am now completely booked solid until late September. I won’t be taking any new commissions until after I am back in the states and settled back after two weeks in Manchester, England for a wedding in August. September is a month of constant travel (Phoenix, Minneapolis, Rhode Island, Maine, Connecticut, Long Island). Of note: it will be my first time in Minnesota.
I’d like to get together a few Phoenix boudoir sessions when I am there (September 21-26). Anyone know anyone out there?
As for the future, let’s just say Hawaii is on the books for December, and I’m already thinking about a very special boudoir project involving naughty santa goods in November. Candy canes and Santa hats, anyone?
And… I’d love to do a gallery installation with images from the juxtaposition project. I am working on a proposal right now.
I’ve been going through the first two juxtaposition shoots in anticipation of doing two more in the next two days… came across these lovely images I really love a lot.
Thanks to my “Real Wedding” recent brides Lindsey and Tiffany for introducing me to Worcester MA and Boston Sand and Gravel! We had quite a few adventures and got a huge range of looks from the sessions, ranging from eccentric to classically beautiful.
