EXCITEMENT!!!!

So with only 4 days till Grad Review i think i have finally finished the images for my portfolio, and i and SUPER happy with the layout.  OK now for the amazingly exciting news.

Kate finished my website and launched it today!!!! jcharlesphotography.com   i absolutely LOVE it, she is AMAZING at what she does!  I have also updated my blog as you can see so that my visual identity now matches on everything.

And now it's time for some images.  Last week for my independent study i focused on Editorial portraiture and LOVE what i got out of the two shoots i did.  The first shoot was with the amazing and beautiful miss Katie Starcevich.  We went with the Tina Fey Vanity Fair look for the main images. 

I also shot another friend form High school Nick Davis.  This shoot was a mix of my own creative side and some posting from Vanity Fair and Detail shoots.

This part of the shoot was more conceptual then the rest.  I was going for a movie persona, but i don't know what movie lol.  It was mostly just a set of images i have had in my head for a while now.

I was also lucky enough to capture these beautiful shots of Katie during our shoot.  I was inspired by an image of Meryl Streep from a Vanity Fair issue.

I also did some NIK to this image of Nick and really like how it turned out. 

Week 1

What a week.  I am finally starting to shoot stuff that i have been wanting to for a LONG time now.  Experimenting with my portrait style is what this session is really all about for me.  This week i wanted to explore a more fashion oriented approach in the styles of both Gap (that i posted last week) and American Eagle. My wonderful friend Kelly and Shane from high school were awesome and modeled for me, and i was extremely pleased with the results.   The top set of image was a combination of the American Eagle and Gap ad look, the outdoor stuff was American Eagle inspired and the final black and white was Gap inspired.  

                                      

Next week is editorial style.  The wonderful Katie and Nick will be modeling for those shoots.  I am super excited for those cause they will have a theme and persona...the stuff that is right up my ally.  I already know what i will be doing with Nick so i just have to pin down Katie's persona. Stay tuned!
