Vintage Dreams

My new self-portrait series is finally done! These were shot with my Canon Powershot A510. I have a second set of photos to edit. I hope to have those up soon.

Preview

I did a little self-portrait photo shoot yesterday. I did two sets. The first photo above is from the first set. I've recently started using Lightroom 3! Its so much fun and I'm in love with it. After much experimentation, this is what I got. However, I'm far from done. I have a lot more to go. I just wanted to share this photo with you!

I'm striving to make my photographs look more professional. Starting to take my own time to start coming up with new concepts and honing my style. I see all these other photographers like Lara Jade, Zemotion and plenty of others and I feel so inspired to do better and start putting more time into my photos. Also changing a few things here and there such as my editing. Hence why I started to use Lightroom 3. Its time for me to start branching out and try something new. 

The second photo was done in Lightroom 3. No basics. Just added a preset and a vignette.

Starting Over

In regards to my photography, I'm really going to start slowing down and focus on what I want to get out of each shot. Most importantly, I want to have fun doing it.

Little Signs of Life

 I took these photos yesterday late afternoon in my backyard. I was inspired by Wall-E and had the song "Down To Earth" by Peter Gabriel in my head for the rest of the day. In fact, its still in there today.

Summer Is Officially Here!

  

If you live in the U.S then you know that today's officially summer season. I saved these photos so I can post them today. I took these from my last photo shoot.

Look Who I Found/ Other News

I hope you are all having a nice father's day. I'm taking a break now to make a post.

I just wanted to let you know that I have updated my website with new photos. You can also view my conceptual and still life photo series in its entirety now.  I made them have their own pages. I did this so there won't be no confusion and that they'll stand out.

My bff, Sarah, has used one of my photos for her 20th birthday invitations.

"The Girl Next Door"

It came out perfectly. Most importantly, she loves the picture. Since it has personally information, I won't show the invitation but I just wanted to share it with you.

Last but not least, I found this French fashion house while changing my Google theme. Check it out! -Chloe.

Her Missing Cowboy
