April 13, 2010Week 3 – Free Editorial Shoot
March 29, 2010So today begins the third and last week of our series of contests…the editorial shoot! So some of you may be wondering what I mean by “editorial”. Well, do you have a talent you want to document? Are you in a band? Write a book? Sing, play sports, model, etc? Yeah, pretty much any cool thing you do, we’ll photograph. So how do you win? If you’re new to the contest, check out our rules by clicking HERE. (You can view the winners of last week’s contest by clicking HERE.)
As usual, we’ll give you some examples of what you could expect from an editorial shoot: Below you will find an athlete, a band, a model, a musician, and an author. Good luck in the contest!
Editorial Model Shoot
March 25, 2010I had the opportunity to host an editorial model shoot a couple weeks ago with my wife, Jean Smith and Brittni Schroeder (another local photog in Canton, MI…who by the by has decided to abandon us and move to Texas…all you Texans out there – look out, because here comes a KICK-ARSE photographer). We had hair done by Mandy Gutierrez and makeup by Emily Zelenak (who totally rock the hair/makeup scene…so if you’re in the market, look them up!). Here a just a few of the images from the night.
Week 2 – Free High School Senior Portrait Session Giveaway
March 22, 2010I’ve said it already, but I’ll say it again. Thanks so much for everybody’s participation last week in our contest. Now let’s move on to round two!
