I am excited to see where I am with this in a year:]
I started with the idea of shooting kevin from my friend Catie who thought he would be a blast for a model.
[[thank you catie, you were absolutely correct!]]
Kevin Shoe is a dear friend of mine that will be leaving the states for 2 years to serve a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil. It was an honor to spend a few hours with him and photograph him!
Kevin was amazing from the first shot rockin it supa star style
To the very last shoot after a very long, over-cast, && sticky day!
We went to waaay too many locations and I am grateful for Kev's willingness to troop through!
I'd like to let you know that this whole thing started with a window. I was driving back to Gilbert from Tucson and saw this RICKETY old shack and fell in LOVE. And so I was on a mission to find a shack and make the picture I had in my head come to life! This isn't excactly what I had in mind but it will do:]
I don't know why I love this staircase so much... but I do... It's slowly becoming a trademark hahaha oh no.
These sunglasses were so frustrating! Every time I went in for the upclose, you'd see my reflection! luckily, I was able to darken the lenses..;]
I live a few miles down the road from this old old field of dead trees.. it's quite haunting and enchanting.. There's something about it that just makes it awesome!
Kevin is such a crack up! I took him to a field out in downtown Gilbert and caught him in his natural habitat I suppose!
[[P.S. don't you just love the water tower???]]
[[see what I mean??]]
Or many of you parents out there might find this to be a young adult's natural instinct! haha
I have to tell you, Kevin has been my friend since I was 8 years old. Ever since I have known him, I have always loved his hair. It's ridiculously soft. pet it, you'll understand haha:]
What can I say?? Kevin Shoe? You end things with a bang. Thanks for letting me shoot you. Good luck in Brazil!
Ok I am jealous! Looking at these pictures I never would think you were begining... These are great! I LOVE THE STAIRS... The one of him jumping too the first shot these are my two favs.
ReplyDeleteHAHA pet it you'll understand! HA love it. I think my favorites had to be from the field next to the water tower. The colors are the best :)
ReplyDeleteI love your suggestions. I am the same, I cut out pictures and put them in my photo journal, I want to try and master the colors, and the focusing, and angles. The subject is there, but the art of photography is the angle, color, lighting and focus (my biggest issue). I got a bike to go explore and find spots. I think its so important to prepare for the shoot vs just winging it the day off. :) Great job. This is great, we get to keep each other inspired. This weekend we are going camping, I am gonna stock up on film, so maybe dave will let me use him again.
ReplyDeleteJ -they are awesome. They really capture the flavor of Kevin and his personality!! They look fun and energetic - the texting one cracked me up!! Antone who knows him will see that you nailed it!!
ReplyDeletei didnt realize how much he looked like will.
