Today is July 17, 2021 (PST) and what I am about to show you is confidential. Top secret type of stuff that only people with high clearance are allowed to see. I’m just kidding, This was a project that I shot back in April of 2019. This was the second time I made an effort to shoot since the passing of my older brother.
I always wanted to do a space theme photoshoot. In some ways, subconsciously, it’s a nod to my late brother who was always fascinated with space. I gathered all the pieces to make this photoshoot happen, the clothing, the fishbowl that I borrowed from a friend who is also an amazing photographer -by the way her IG handle is Kalie , and finally the awesome model Caity . And yes, that patch does say “Space Force” on there. At the time it was the talk of the media etc. so I thought why not just play on it and see if anyone actually noticed.
Though it’s not my intention to shoot during harsh light, it just happens that way, and I welcome it. It challenges me to find the right angle to photograph and keeps me thinking of how, where, and position of the model. Harsh light can be unforgiving if you aren’t aware of your environment and don’t have an understanding of lighting. I’m still learning to this day on new techniques and refining my craft.
Here are more images from this shoot to end this post for now. Be kind, Be Real, and most of all Be You.
