You might be wondering about Shootstyle? We’re a group of photographers that share the same deep passion for photography that strive to create imagery that’s highly exceptional, visual stimulating, and most importantly memorable. This shoot consisted of Jamie Wexler, Earl Christie, Michelle Turner, Alicia Williams , Stacey Doyle and myself. I drove down in the morning with a major storm baring down on us. Threatening 9-15 inches of snow or so. Yeah.. Nice! I crossed my fingers, packed the Smart car and headed down to Providence. We photographed some beautiful creations from dress designer Julia Anne Ebel, of Celtic Dragon Dress Designs. Many thanks to makeup artist extraordinaire, Jenny DiMucci, who made our models look sweet!

And a most gracious thanks to our two very patient and beautiful models, Brittany and Kate. They put up with our many locations and shooting environments to allow us to shoot for most of the day. Thank you very, very much!

First off is Brittany

I’ll give ya 10 bucks if you find the blue wall at the Renaissance Hotel

Here’s Stacey and Alicia shooting away.

and here’s Kate

BTW this room we shot Kate in is so amazingly cool. I would completely love to hang there and enjoy some friends, food and drinks.
It was real posh with swanky mood lighting. I think it was called the Temple room and it’s a restaurant at the Renaissance Hotel.

The next set of images are categorized as boudoir. I haven’t provided this type of coverage for my clients….yet. I’d like to put together some boudoir photography packages this year to start offering them in 2010. These type of shots most interest me in the mystery of the subject to a certain degree. I know it may be hard to believe but, I find more interest in images if I’m left questioning or just taking time to follow the lines in an image. Some images are about lighting, some are about textures, and others are about curves. Blah.. blahh.. blahh… okay here’s the images.

Be very careful from here down if your at work.. NSFW!

The next set of images are sort of a tribute to the Travel Shovel Project. It was started by Joel and Rita Wiebner in PA. They bought a shovel off of John Michael Cooper at a DWF Convention shoot for like 5 bucks. They then sent it around the world to photographers that would shoot it in their own style. The shovel made it to Boston and we had some serious fun. The article was picked up by a trade magazine, Rangefinder, and was published last year with some of my images. Pretty Sweet! Seriously.. Woot Woot! Anyways, last year JMC and Dalisa came out to the studio to host their Very Alt F tour. It was awesome.. wicked pissah awesome.

At the close of his seminar.. about 5 minutes before John and Dalisa were going to leave under very cloudy and immanent down pour conditions I asked for a picture. I wanted to shoot John and Dalisa with a distant cousin to the shovel. John and Dalisa obliged. I whipped off about 20 quick frames, asked them to sign it, and led them to the highway. Since then I’ve had the shovel in the studio and decided to bring it to the shoot for fun. I mean, I know a shovel isn’t to fun or interesting but, hey theres some history here. I might as well pay some tribute to the crazy fun people who put some thought into makin some very creative images.

Here’s a shovel shoot with a bit of zing…

I have a few more that I may add in time and some video from the shoot to. I have some wedding stuff to work on first though. Check back in a week or so.
