Montañita - 2022.

October 22, 2022

I don’t think I’ve ever photographed an actor like Montañita. Our session very much was like a scene from a play. Every frame I took was analyzed and poured over as soon as it popped up on the monitor.
”What is going through my head”
”What am I trying to say here?”
”Why is he so sad?”

It really was something fascinating to be a part of, and I’m actually pretty surprised at what we were able to make together.

I honestly thought this was going to be a standard headshot session, but instead we worked through a great conversation that covered a whole range of topics from “What is the best insole for dress shoes?”, “How does hair gel work?” and even discussing the finer points of pickup trucks and bargain hunting. The hour session went by so quickly that it hardly felt like work at all.

The photos below are just a small taste of what we shot, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Sébastien - 2022.

March 20, 2022

Sébastien came across my work from the photos that I did of Nicky back at the end of January and gave me a follow on Instagram. When I needed to do some light testing to re-create some new skills I learned last week, they jumped at the chance to get a few portraits made.

During our session, Sébastien gave me some lessons on the catalog of Erykah Badu and brought some great ideas to the table. I’m going to have to do some more experimentation with lace and veils and the overall idea of being hidden. Thank you again for taking time out of your Saturday to come to play in the studio.

Brandie - 2021.

September 12, 2021

The weather outside is starting to get cooler, and soon enough the leaves on the trees will all be on the ground instead. The spooky season will be here before we know it (even if we do have to go through second-summer first). It used to be that Halloween was my favorite time of the year, but these last few years have just been wearing on me and I just haven’t felt in the spirit.

I guess it’s time to change that.

Brandie replied to an Instagram post where I was looking for someone to work with, and even though we have worked together in the past, this was the first time one on one. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when she said “I’ll just bring a few different things”, but I certainly didn’t see myself getting the chance to shoot something with some witchy-feels this early.

I’m not complaining. I’ll just be over here humming “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” (because we all know that even though every day is Halloween, most of us weirdos only get 31 days to enjoy it.

CharLee Cherie - 2021.

July 30, 2021

After months of work I am so terribly happy to actually have a studio space to work out of. I’m even happier when I say something like “Hey, do I know anyone with a ball gag?” and several people reach out to humor some strange ideas floating around in my head.

This was the first time I’ve really been able to use my space to its fullest and even though I had a few kinks (ha) I think I was able to troubleshoot them on the fly pretty well.

CharLee was wonderful as always, and aside from my laptop being on its last legs and it taking me longer to get these out into the world, I can’t wait to keep creating more content in this new space.

Karina Treance - 2021

June 01, 2021

Holy shit, is it really June 1st before I’m posting some new content on this blog? Did you miss me? Did you think I was gone forever? Nah…I’ve just been extremely busy getting the next page in the UNEXPhotography journey written.

I’m still not ready to share everything yet, but these images were the first ones that were taken in my NEW STUDIO! Finally after all of these years I have a place where I can keep gear set up and ready to go at a moment’s notice.

Everything is still getting buttoned up, but once that happens I’ll give everyone a tour through a State of the Union update. But for now–

Something, something, rose. Something, something, name. Something, something.

The keen eye’d among you may recognize Karina, however this is the first time she has appeared on this blog in her current form. I was so happy to invite her into the new studio space to give some new equipment a try.

I learned a few things along the way:

Maybe my almost 10 year old computer needs replacing a little sooner than I originally thought.
Perhaps shooting uncompressed 60mp RAW files didn’t help with point 1.
A 3200 J power pack WILL kill your roommate’s computer when the capacitors energize themselves.

I’m happy that Karina was willing to make the trek to the new studio and trust me with making some images that she will be sharing through her own channels. I’ve posted a teaser of some of the more “interesting” content at the links below.
