Headshots, Violin, and Luminous light







Hello and Happy Spring! I have been a blog slacker lately, but only because I've been quite busy developing products and materials for my business. It's exciting getting all my marketing stuff together in a cohesive and beautiful way. On to the photos...Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph the lovely Casey B. She is a violinist for the Oregon Ballet as well as the violin instructor for Oregon Music Academy. We went out on a cold (and partially rainy) day looking for a good spot and good light. It seemed grim, but I was hopeful. We found this green wall in the unlikeliest of places. It had a bit of a glow about it and as soon as she stepped in there I noticed the glorious light: soft and subtle...like good studio lighting only better because it was natural. So you see, my Quest for Light never seems to be in vain. We had a wonderful shoot, lovely images, and best of all, I got to enjoy her musical talent. I kept having to pretend I was still shooting just so that she would continue playing. :) Thank you Casey for an awesome time. Oh and this shoot took literally almost ZERO editing. Yes, her skin truly is that luminous and perfect.
