Haunting Ground

Without further ado here are the photos from my latest photoshoot with Mary. This shoot she did cosplay as Fiona, the title character from the survival horror game Haunting Ground. Not many people do cosplay from this game and to her knowledge she is the only one she knows of that has done it, so it was awesome to be able to do photography for such a unique character.

Random Movie Fact: The 2007 film Hot Rod, shares almost the exact same basic plot line as Dirty Work, which also starred then-current cast members of "Saturday Night Live". Both films are centered around an unsuccessful young man attempting to raise $50,000 for his father, a cranky ex-boxer, to have a heart transplant.

Editing Photos

So today I am going to be editing photos from the second photoshoot I have done with Mary. It was another fun and productive photoshoot last night, which even had me scaling walls to get cool shots. My biggest worry was the photos themselves were going to look too different from the last one but they have a completely different vibe to them which is great. I think these photos will come accross much warmer and have an overall more approachable look to them. After lunch I am going to be going through all 23 approved pics and clean them up for Mary and the blog. Should be up and ready to go by tomorrow!

Random Movie Fact: In the 2008 film The Dark Knight, once she knew Heath Ledger had been cast as The Joker, costume designer Lindy Hemming based the character's attire off of an eclectic line-up of clothing styles, ranging from Vivienne Westwood to John Lydon to Iggy Pop to Pete Doherty to Alexander McQueen. Hemming's aim was to modify The Joker's familiar appearance with "a younger, trendier look", in order to represent Ledger's generation.

Mary Photoshoot

So yesterday I spent my afternoon editing the exposures from the photoshoot on Monday. I have to admit I feel like this is my best photoshoot so far and I am very proud of both the quality of the pictures and the overall ease of working with a great subject such as Mary. She did great in that she needed little to no direction, we just worked very well together and I hope to do a lot more photography with her. Without further ado, here are the pictures.

Random Movie Fact: In the holiday classic The Nightmare Before Christmas, it took a group of around 100 people three years to complete this movie. For one second of film, up to 12 stop-motion moves had to be made.

Headshot Edits

So here are the best photos from the Kyle Edwards photoshoot I did last Saturday. I took a lot of pictures and I think these eight are the best from the bunch. Feel free to ask me about any of the editing I did on the pictures or what you think of them good or bad.
