Super-Spy Vibes

Colleen’s giving off those “Super-Spy caught in the light” vibes in this shot from our recent shoot. That contemplative look just begs to you imagine what she’s thinking and what she’s about to do. Whatever it is, I was just really taken with this particular image, which is no surprise, really. She always brings magic to the view in front of my camera. Great working with you, Colleen!

Sheer Beauty

Another capture of the beautiful Colleen Callahan from our recent shoot. The sheer material of the sleeves on the dress (courtesy of Carmen) makes for some really cool tones and texture on her arms as she hold them overhead in this shot.

Adding A bit if Texture

It’s amazing the way texture can change the feel of an image. In this photo we handed this shawl to Colleen and let her work with it and drape it as she liked. This simple prop brought a lot of dimension to the scene. Props like this can also fuel the viewer’s imagination and add depth to the story they may be seeing in the image.

Collab with Colleen Callahan

After posting one of our 2018 photos last week, Colleen and I decided it was time to get together and create some new work. Here’s the first of many new shots that will be showing up in my feed over coming days. I love the look of this dress as the shimmery material of makes it appear almost oil painted. This skirt really moved well too and we got some great captures of it in motion as moved.

Captivating Colleen

Looking back to 2019 with this capture of the beautiful Colleen Callahan doing some jewelry modeling. I think she did a great job here even though the jewelry has a hard time getting any attention. Of course it’s not her fault she’s so captivating 🙂

Turn it Up!

I usually go light on my retouching but sometimes I like to turn up the wick and see what happens. Not every image can take turning up the processing to 11 but after restoring the color to this shot and cranking it up I’m rather pleased with the result. Of course Colleen is going to look lovely no matter what happened so I wasn’t to worried :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Classic Hollywood Look

Rebecca really knows how to create that classic Hollywood vibe. Sure, I lit the scene and did my part in post processing, but she brought this look and attitude to the space in front of my camera.
