Livin' Vintage ( Cinemagraphs 2012)

 

So I never really got to posts my Cinemagraphs I did for one of my Senior Projects in 2012, and I  came across them on my external drive the other night... So even though they are almost 2 years old I wanted to post them. It was defiantly a tricky process to learn and required a lot of foresight and work in post production, but I still Loved how they turned out for my first try at them. I might decide to do another fashion series of them in the Summer... Enjoy!!!

"Play Me"

 

I was so excited when Alla Kar asked me to do her next book cover "Play Me" for her Love Me series, it was so much fun working with her on the "Stroke of Fear" cover, and its such an honor because I am totally addicted to her books!

 

But man, this shoot defiantly had its challenges, but luckily everything came together in the end. At first I struggled to find a locker room to shoot in, it was a lot harder than I thought... but luckily my friend and fellow photographer Peter, who teaches at  Michigan Extreme Combat Sports, was able to help me out with the location. Their gym is so awesome, and the family that runs it is so nice, I really hope I get the opportunity to shoot there again!

Then the day of the shoot, as many of you may know of all the crazy weather up here in Michigan and all over, the male model got stuck in a snow storm the night before and couldn't make it... So I found a back-up male model. Unfortunately, the back up ended up getting pretty sick right before the shoot and I really started to scramble. Luckily, the back-up's little brother was able to do it and fit the character as well, so Nick Margetic saved the day!  Nick and Megan George were so great together and I am super happy that everything ended up working out. As a photographer a lot of times you end up being a problem solver and you really have to think on your feet. Sometimes in a situation like this I might reschedule, but the book was releasing the following weekend so it was really a Tim Gun "Make it work" moment.

 

I also got the opportunity to work with my good friend Danielle Styles on Cover design again, I love working with her because I feel like we are always on the same page creatively, and she has a clean but unique style. In post I added the tattoo to make Nick more like his character, I tired to make it look as natural as possible, and hopefully made a few of you question whether it was real or not.

 

 In addition to the Cover I also created some promos to go along with the book:
