Fantasy Photos and Ethereal Portraits
I am going to be applying for several festivals next year. I’ll let you know which ones I make it in to. For the faerie festivals (Maryland and Pennsylvania) I am working out a way to set up my booth to take photos on-the-spot to then collage as a fantasy portrait. If you always wanted to be a faerie, this is a way to do it and a great way to display your otherkin side.
I also enjoy doing simple portraits that have a bit of a dreamy feel to them. This also lends itself to boudoir photography, which I will also be offering.
I would like to try to get into Unique Boutique. I don’t know if they have room and I’d still have to be juried in and I’d have to decide which medium I want to submit for – 3-d or paintings.
I also may do River Artsfest this year, which is non-juried.
Of course if Artomatic is around I will be doing Body Politics there.
Anyway, I was thinking of offering these both as a service and for some of my photos, offering them as prints and card, etc.
I am working on a webpage devoted to my photography and will list prices and scheduling availability there.
Portraits and Headshots
I have been gearing up with the studio to prepare for all sorts of fun and business. I recently had the pleasure of shooting portraits of my mentor, Tammy Vitale.
She has been a huge encouragement to me. I have found over and over that I really enjoy shooting in the studio and trying to bring out the best in somebody. To capture their essence in a way that they are proud to display. It makes me way down happy when a client is overjoyed at the images.
Studio News
The new fence is in and the gate is up. I know it seems silly but I love my new door. Sometimes it isn’t a matter of a door being fancy, it’s about getting rid of the old ugly door!
Below is the OLD door. Very 1970s in a *bad* way. Installed poorly and a badly added doggy door. The thing was a wreck. I hated the sight of it. It would unsettle my delicate visual sensibilities. But no longer!
Below is the NEW shiney door. I believe it will look smashing with a lovely sign, don’t you? And a new light fixture as well.
These small improvements to my photo studio will make the place much more weatherized and pleasant to look at too.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a note. I will...
