I know this isn’t my usual engagement photography posts. I’ve been doing a lot of personal projects lately. Like I said in my last post, I’m really trying to expand my photography, or in this case get back to something I love in photography….. Textures. When I first started doing digital photography all I ever used was textures. I didn’t have a nice enough camera to actually pull off good shots so I had to mask my poor shots with lots of textures. In reality this actually works pretty well. If you look at programs like hipstamatic for the Iphone, it takes “great” shots. Because the Iphone has such a poor camera, you can cover all that up with some texture and a bit of cross processing. I think that’s why photographs taken on an Iphone and then treated with either texture, cross processing, or vignette’s look so much better. They give them an artsy retro feel that everyone loves. Hence with an Iphone and hipstamatic you can make it look like you take really creative artsy shots. Read more...

It’s so rare that I shoot nature photography. I never seem to be able to find something that I like enough, or is abstract enough, or has enough character to shoot. I find people so much more interesting to photograph. So much character. Human emotions are something interesting all by themselves and capturing that is so much fun. But I’m always looking for ways that I can branch out a little bit, and expand my photography. Now I don’t think I’m going to get into the business of selling nature photographs anytime soon, but nature photography has its own challenges. For me my main problem is deciding on a subject. A flower is a perfect example. It’s obvious what the subject is. My problem is finding that subject in an interesting setting. something that makes that subject stand out. I find myself taking pictures of dead flowers a lot more than living ones. Somehow a dead flower tells a story. I can’t always say that for living things. Read more...

I can’t believe how inspired I’ve felt lately. Not only to create amazing portraits, but also to do some abstract work, which I haven’t done much of lately. I’m finally starting to get more free time, and feel less stressed out at work, and thusly my photography prospers because of it. I love creating, and it can be especially fun with abstracts when you have such a blank canvas it becomes difficult to find focal points, and put meaning into shots. So instead I just try and make them look cool. Just kidding. Even with my abstract shots I try and put “emotion” into them. I realize that my abstract photography might not always have that “emotion” in it, or that other people might not see it, but I do. Most of the time. Although sometimes I do just like it because it looks cool. Read more...

I know it’s rare that I put up something so abstract on my blog, but every once in a while I see an abstract shot that I really enjoy. This is one of those cases. I rarely do abstract photography anymore. I’m far too busy doing portrait photography, which is really my main passion. But when I first got into photography I did a lot more abstract photography than portraits. I mean honestly how many times can you take a picture of your friends before they start to get annoyed.

I have no idea why I’ve been digging on these more abstract shots lately, but man they really seem to be keeping me entertained. I’m not sure if it’s been my salty mood. Or a certain throwback nature to my photography. All the sudden though I’m drawn to these dark and moody photographs that have more character and less content. This shot for instance has almost zero subject. Power Lines? Honestly not the greatest subject Dave. But for some reason here I am posting this on my blog. Read more...
