Denver, Colorado based Photographer Dave Brown is a Portrait Photographer who specializes in Engagement, Senior Portraits, Commercial, and Fashion Photography.
I took a nice little hiatus this summer with my wedding, my honeymoon and all sorts of other wild and crazy things that were going on this summer. I did however get the chance to do some senior portraits for my new cousin in law, who by the way, is a total doll. I don’t really do a ton of senior portraits, but of course I love portrait work. I also got a chance to learn a ton about my new cousin in law. She’s interested in acting, and she really wants to go out to NYU for college.
Oye it’s been a while, but I’ve been so busy planning my own wedding it’s a bit hard to shoot other peoples weddings/engagements/portraits. These shots are from a bit ago, and I’m stoked to finally get to post them. I had a total blast on this shoot with Symantha. She came to me wanting some nice portraits for her website/promotional stuff. She’s a country music singer and wanted a bit of a country look to her portrait session. I”m not gonna lie, this isn’t the majority of my work. I mainly do a downtown feel. I’m an urban guy, and I certainly know the urban scene, and I have an urban eye. But every time I step out of my comfort zone I learn something about myself, and my photography. You know how much fun that is? So I was super excited to do this shoot, and after meeting Symantha I knew we were going to have a blast on our shoot.
Grilled Salmon = Yum. No Seriously. I recently had a chance to do a bit of food photography which was a total blast. I always forget how stressful food is to shoot though. It’s not easy. I realize it doesn’t move, it can’t show emotion, but it’s a real challenge to get something that looks nice on a plate without it ending up looking dead and dried out. I have noticed a recent trend of photographers to get into food photography, but not putting in the hard work it takes to learn how to light food. Yes I know surprising but it’s complicated to light food. And also surprising is the fact that you light food almost exactly opposite from how you would light a portrait. Which for a portrait photographer is a hard thing to grasp. I think the people who would have the easiest time jumping into food photography would be the ones who only shoot macro’s. Something I’m not sure there is much professional market for, but they would have the easiest time understanding focus and lighting when it comes to food.
Well it’s certainly be a while. I’ve been so busy between all my different shoots. As all my engagement couples know though…. engagements are by far my favorite. I just love portraits so much. The interaction between the two people about to get married are always so interesting to me. This couple was no different. Everyone say high to Rosie and Erik. These guys were great. Erik is a barber downtown and Rosie is currently a vet tech. Here pretty soon though they are going on a hell of a trip. They are going to move over to Scotland. Rosie got into some killer vet school in Scotland so they are going to move all the way across the Atlantic. That sounds like such a wild cool adventure. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go on an adventure like that with someone. Sounds like an absolute blast.
Alright Alright it might not actually be summer in Austin. But it practically is. Ok maybe not the blistering heat, but damn this Colorado boy was a bit warm. I recently took a trip down to Austin for some business, and man did I have fun. 70 degrees, day or night. It was so weird walking outside at night and it being warm. Totally crazy! I also got just a small chance to do a bit of photography while I was down there.
