June 2009 Archives

While I was sorely tempted to go with one of the newer photos uploaded today to the Jaq Shoot 1 gallery, since I finally got the last few touched up, and uploaded, I decided to go with another of the shots from New Years. As I said then, I had a blast, though I must say climbing up a rickety ladder that I doubt is rated for my weight was no fun at all, I did get some really cool shots from the higher up perspective. This one was shot at the main area of the party, where someone had a lit up Hula Hoop, which they were using in some cool ways. Clearly she is having fun, and was the inspiration for a few cool shots like this.

Before I show you the highlight photo, I did want to let you all know I have hesitantly enabled rating and comments on the Gallery. Please be kind and don't insult me or my models. Also, please do not be a jerk about my photography. Constructive criticism is fine, but useless trashing will merely be deleted. Now, if you want more photos from Genesis, check out the Genesis gallery. Please also check out the Facebook Fan Page and Group for Dwight Wallbridge Photography.

This week's Highlight Photo of the Week is one from a recent model shoot. Jaq contacted me on Facebook, where I had mentioned I was looking for models, and after some discussion we agreed to do a shoot on a day that held some promise. A few weeks later, with sunny days predicted, I got her a message, arranged a day and time when I would be off work, and we arranged to meet at The Forks, a local national park and marketplace in the city. While some delays happened, we still got in about an hour and a half of shooting, and ended up with about 700 photos across many different areas at the Forks.

Jaq brought a number of outfit combinations, and I am pretty sure we used every single one of them, some parts more than once in combination with other parts. I am not sure if this is a common practice in modeling, but it was definitely helpful in adding to the range of looks to the shoot. I recently posted about 30 of the estimated 50 shots that will be posted once I get them fully post processed. To decide this week's Highlight from the 30, I went to twitter, the Microblogging service, and asked those who follow me for their advice on which one I should pick.

I got over 20 replies, and ended up with three finalists, which were also put up for a vote. The photo below was the one chosen. The rest of the photos, as well as the last 20 I need to upload, are at the Jaq Shoot 1 gallery.
