Erin: Take Two

What a beautiful day on so many levels. It was sunny, cloudy and raining on/off. The distance was worth it!

The first time we worked together we were kinda hoping we would get some rain, but we ended up with a sunny day, but we got our rain on our second shoot this afternoon. I’m very pleased with the way our photos turned out.

Creative Control

Are you the determining factors in your photograph or is the camera? For a good amount of time I’ve let my camera do a big part of my work. I just put it in it’s “greenest” mode and fired off my shots. The camera determined the ISO or film speed, the shutter, the white balance and the aperture that it felt best exposed the shot. I do get to frame the shot however I want to but it felt so hit or miss. If I was to get an awesome shot I felt so detached from actually taking the photograph that I felt I could never possibly create anything like it again.

My Story Thus Far…

admin — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:11:33 +0000

I have been practicing my skills as a photographer for many years now and have taken all my closest friend’s photographs. I know that this is where my passions are, but haven’t known how I was going to use it. What has shownup for me is entertainment photography. I was asked in a seminar about living life passionately earlier this year who I looked up to and I picked Adam Elmakias. I had been very surprised to see someone I perceived as being so young shooting my all time favorite bands.

I was encouraged by a fellow seminar member to call this guy up and hear his story. Adam was very helpful. It became my mission to get a photo pass into The Warped Tour. The photographs above this paragraph are from Lifest in Oshkosh, WI. I have shared my shots of Norma Jean, Red, Wavorly, Remedy Drive, Holly Starr, Hawk Nelson, Stellar Kart, Children 18:3, Superchic[k], Pillar, Skillet & Group 1 Crew, so far.

Building that portfolio from Lifest was the ticket to shooting the recent Bless the Fall concert. I encourage anyone who wants to shoot shows to start with the basics and build up a portfolio first. It’s your ticket into a lot of shows.
