Fashion Photography

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been a fashion filled week. Translation: amazing week. My first film shot in Detroit on Monday then a mini shoot with Matt Richmond's incredible recycled dresses on Thursday (plus some pretty exciting things in the works related but it's hush hush for now). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGca9Xdvsmb9BdTpvHsEk-7MwCy1k_MQJmMSrIRw-SLrlfCY-WegHDYMzcpplhXQ_N7HG3PdXBsfJjt17ewzOpHQ9ji50xE_ctxsnWP3JNbhEsJOhiEfb2Kn3kkVbSD2jk25mrBxE7JM/s1600/IMG_9675.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGca9Xdvsmb9BdTpvHsEk-7MwCy1k_MQJmMSrIRw-SLrlfCY-WegHDYMzcpplhXQ_N7HG3PdXBsfJjt17ewzOpHQ9ji50xE_ctxsnWP3JNbhEsJOhiEfb2Kn3kkVbSD2jk25mrBxE7JM/s640/IMG_9675.jpg" width="411" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Dress made from recycled VHS tape by Matthew Richmond.

Karen LePage: One Girl Circus

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Meet Karen LePage, the mastermind behind One Girl Circus. She designs and creates the most adorable children's clothes and even has a book published called <a href="http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470949554.html">Sewing For Boys: 24 Projects to Create a Handmade Wardrobe</a>. I got a peek at it at DIY Ferndale and it is fantastic! When she isn't sewing, designing, rocking out a craft show, or taking care of her kids, she finds peace riding her motorcycle.  It is her zen, her peace, her quiet, and her release all in one. From her purple hair to her enthusiastic spirit to her creative soul she is a joy to know!  Check out her designs at <a href="http://onegirlcircus.com/">OneGirlCircus</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Self Portraits of a Redhead

Not only is she very brave to post them publicly but I like her observance of eye contact or hiding her face in most of her shots as a reflection of her shyness. I started to evaluate my own self portraits. I've always felt like if I showed them publicly I was being conceited or something. But now it's either my attitude of not caring so much what people think of me or it's a study in self reflection that has brought me to this post. I was also asked to dig out an old photo of an art piece I created in college that had me digging through old photographs this weekend and I came across quite a few self portraits. These are just the ones I have on my computer. There are quite a few more.<br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlYQrl-6Uz60Bo-4v224GvrCzWW5dTAvcAP5Cv0Yo-AcCJHT2QoHxjLn9-kEWIl_-QKz12tcj-Hzq_FSYWxjHAD-c-y5zH8y4YQDJlw5TSZnQn1AFgl8Yc4-fXyiOgOfvyqCcvebOuXFk/s1600-h/DSC_1099.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433273169475142050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlYQrl-6Uz60Bo-4v224GvrCzWW5dTAvcAP5Cv0Yo-AcCJHT2QoHxjLn9-kEWIl_-QKz12tcj-Hzq_FSYWxjHAD-c-y5zH8y4YQDJlw5TSZnQn1AFgl8Yc4-fXyiOgOfvyqCcvebOuXFk/s400/DSC_1099.JPG" style="WIDTH: 208px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></p>The self portraits I used to take when I was a photography student in college were usually straight on--me looking directly at the camera. I had no fear of the camera and exposing myself. I think part of that was confidence and part of that was I was working in an art department where all the students did such things. It was considered normal to take all kinds of crazy photos of yourself. Then after graduation they start to change a bit. I don't really know if it was a lack of confidence or just me playing with different angles. Does it matter really? Anyway, I have been taking a lot of self portraits lately, mostly due to my etsy shop. I took these few yesterday while I was doing a massive shoot of clothes to sell on ebay. <br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6oWtnzMgH5tTNCWUhHlBdy5jHqpvBVyJBvlifb_VS1dmCU7xdNMhaMljpBHNts_nwu_Yc67qvy2wJpz_urgQi7vpHEb58o21DhUDVmbMdIlMapN9_2X2Znma1RJG03T8a6GXLv9gBAfk/s1600-h/DSC_1103.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433273000902892466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6oWtnzMgH5tTNCWUhHlBdy5jHqpvBVyJBvlifb_VS1dmCU7xdNMhaMljpBHNts_nwu_Yc67qvy2wJpz_urgQi7vpHEb58o21DhUDVmbMdIlMapN9_2X2Znma1RJG03T8a6GXLv9gBAfk/s400/DSC_1103.JPG" style="WIDTH: 268px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></p>One of the reasons I love self portraits is because of the sense of control you get as a photographer. Not only are you totally in charge of what's happening behind the camera but in front as well. It's exciting. <br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-iB2UQ1BoVLcfvlVknD0HjKZr7_SLcd-fmCu4IOkYwCpvpFuQEinNvTdnLVVpmROf9NXOcSFvCsKOImqzx7idBI_rSyPRpM6ngtX9b77z_zXM8K4hMyewHGXpauNfVLSYnO8V7UeDCqE/s1600-h/Janna+portrait+short+hair.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433273166712459986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-iB2UQ1BoVLcfvlVknD0HjKZr7_SLcd-fmCu4IOkYwCpvpFuQEinNvTdnLVVpmROf9NXOcSFvCsKOImqzx7idBI_rSyPRpM6ngtX9b77z_zXM8K4hMyewHGXpauNfVLSYnO8V7UeDCqE/s400/Janna+portrait+short+hair.jpg" style="WIDTH: 278px;
