Blah blah...

Lunch? who needs lunch?

Production & Styling: Tiffany Jackson inc.
Photography: Grave Danger Photography
Hair & Concept: Sarah @ Fluid Hair
Model: Robb Chalifoux
Outfit: Derk's

also was supposed to do a shoot (and be in a shoot) tonight for Shout Out Out Out Out, but that is now getting pushed back... I did manage to set up a few lights and mess around while I was waiting...


contest update: thanks for the submissions, but I think I'm going to stick it out for a bit with the grave danger name... maybe it's not so bad?

A Contest?!

WHAT?

A contest?!

yes.

A contest.

I've decided that I'm not sure if I like the name "gravedangerphotography". So, here's the deal. You send me name suggestions. I'd like it if the new name some how had 'gravy' involved, but it's not a requirement. If I like your suggestion, and end up using it, I'll give you a photo shoot, with makeup (if necessary), and a bunch of fully edited images for you to use however you like. Sound cool?

email your suggestions to: gravedangerphotography @ gmail.com (sorry, you'll have to copy and paste that)
Contest closes whenever I feel like it. haha

oh, here's a pretty photo that I shot the other day. This is Ms. Andrea, an extremely talented belly dancer. I'm pretty sure she performs around Edmonton a fair bit, and I think she's also teaching lessons if you're so inclined. Check out her blog for more info!



p.s. I'm back on the road now, so if you're interested in tour videos, check out the shout out out out out website for updates!

METAL!!

it's been a while since I've been to a metal show... it was actually not bad! Shooting Megadeth tomorrow night. 20th anniversary of 'Rust in Peace'. Great album.

shot this entirely with the 50mm 1.8. I love that lens. Super sharp and fast. Actually wide enough on the D700 for shows too. I read a great lil' thing on the internets about prime lenses the other day. Check it out if you're interested: http://photocritic.org/prime-lens/

anyway, I've submitted some of my shots to Vue, so here are a few that I liked, but didn't submit.

The Order of Chaos



Savannah


I'm even starting to copy my own work now... ha! Not as good as the Motley shot...

Photos Pt. 2

Well, part 26 really, as this is a photo blog after all, and this would be entry #26... so I finally got around to editing a couple more of Sarah and Randy from Fluid (again, FluidHair.ca, go check it.) and figured I'd post a couple for the blog viewing folks.

I did these b/w conversions with Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro plugin for CS4. Pretty cool stuff. Really easy to use, which I like.

more to come eventually...
