Jeff

Question: what do photographers do when they're bored and there are lights around?
Answer: they model for each other.

Jeff is a man of many talents. On here he's mostly mentioned as my boyfriend and fellow photographer. In real life he's also an amazing salsero, an aspiring chef, an avid gamer, an overall wonderful human being and, I suspect, a bit of a closet model.

So when we got a new set of studio lights and needed to test them out (read: figure out how to make them work), he put his best pouty face on (don't tell him I said that) and we had a fun shoot.

We really wanted to get a shot of Jeff in salsa mode, so Jeff put on his favourite salsa shirt, and showed off some of his moves.



Then, just as we were running out of ideas/steam/patience for the lights, Jeff found an old film camera that was laying around in the studio, and decided to use it as a prop. His best attempt at a MySpace self-portrait:

Corey & Melanie

Resuming the "catching up on older shoots" thing, next up is a shoot Jeff and I did with Corey Tomicic and Melanie Mastronardi, two amazing models and dancers.

The aim of this shoot was more playing around with lights, getting some practice with headshots, as well as having fun with a white background and two amazingly creative people.

The results:

"The Little Show" conclusion

As I mentioned last week, the arts & architecture gallery had a miniature photography group show this past weekend, to which Jeff and I contributed some shots.

I'd like to thank everyone who dropped by to check out the show, and support local artists as well as the fantastic local gallery that made it possible for all of us to put some of our work out there. The show was a success, and a great experience for me and hopefully everyone else involved as well.

I'm also happy to report that all 3 of the photos I submitted to the show were sold. We photographers are fragile souls, so validation that we don't suck is always deeply appreciated.

Below are the 3 photos of mine that found new homes thanks to this show:
