It’s a Steinway son.

Dallin is a super cool guy who designed and built one of the coolest houses I have ever seen.  Go check out his work here.  He is also a poet and a pianist as well as many other impressive things I am sure.

Audra McDonald at the Hale Center Theater

A couple of months back I had the opportunity to shoot actress Audra McDonald at the Hale Center Theater in Orem, Utah.  Audra has won Four Tony’s and two Grammy’s.  She was in town for a Q&A with lucky guests to promote her upcoming performance of 110 in the Shade.

Sisters.

Three amazing Henrie sisters all photographed in one location.  It had almost happened once before but Olivia turned me down on behalf of the entire Henrie family to participate in my Peter Pan shoot.  Oh well, but late than never, I give you Lilian, Monica and Olivia.

All images shot with Iford 3200 Film on a Contax 645 with available light.

Super Easy Black and White Excellence

I have been getting a few questions lately about how I have been doing my recent black and white work.  It is incredibly simple to replicate this look.

1.  Shoot in open shade.  Find a spot that has very even shaded light.  Add some positive or negative fill as needed, but I generally dont.

2.  Load up some Kodak bw400cn.

3.  Take an ambient light reading and over expose by 1 to 2 stops.

4.  Click

5.  Send film to Richard Photo Lab

6.  The End

I don’t mean to over simplify it but there is literally noting else I am doing.

I recently acquired a 4×5 Sinar F2.  I have yet to get any negatives scanned but I am having lot’s of fun with large format polaroids so far.  These are all shot on Type 54 expired polaroid film.

All In the Family

My sister Shannon has been modeling for about six years and I have been shooting pretty seriously for about three so you can imagine how many shoots we have done together… Well actually we have only done this one.  I don’t know what it is about shooting people really close to me but I have a hard time distancing myself from the person I know so well to focus on creating art more objectively.  Fortunately these turned out pretty good.  Shoot for the Acaydia School of Aesthetics in Provo, Utah.
