The incredibly beautiful Violet, daughter of the super talented Rebekah Westover. One of my super best friends.

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.

People seem to be fascinated by pictures of famous people as children. Here is a unique perspective on that. Behold pictures of the world famous Violet about 20 years before she changed the world.

Hunter Burgan is one of the coolest guys I know. These were all shot on a Contax 645 last weekend in Hollywood, CA.

Behind the Scenes

You have probably seen a lot of behind the scenes stills and videos from shoot but I doubt many of them have this courage to show the untamed beast in it’s natural habitat. Here are our local fine artists at their finest.

A Special Filmy Feeling

Tonight was great. A lot of things that could have gone wrong went right and the result was magic. My friend Shay is in town getting fitted for her wedding dress (yay!) and we have never had a really proper shoot together. Tonight was the same as usual for us, 10 minutes to shoot and no real plan. My wonderful and amazing talented friend Tara Starling let us shoot in her super cool store Anastasia’s Attic in West Jordan. This store is full of really cool clothes and accessories and I highly recommend it to all you ladies who like getting glitter stars, pirate stuff, amazing chocolate etc etc etc.

Anyway with very little time, only 400 speed film, very low tungsten only light and nothing but a dressing room to shoot in here is what we got. These were all taken on a Contax 645 on Fuji 400H film at f2.0 at 1/30th of a second.

a place for pictures

Pictureline is easily my favorite camera store and not just because it’s the only real one close to where I live. The customer service is just incredible. I love how friendly the staff are and how they really get to know you and your needs. Here they are on fuji 100b and a polaroid 600se
