Ready for 2009

01Jan09

Ahhhh…the holidays are coming to a close. It’s been fun bringing out the camera for the family pics, but those end up in facebook. Usually they’re posted by my wife.

I snuck in one last photo shoot last week before all the travelling and visiting with relatives hit. Dasha and Anton stopped by to shoot in my cold studio (a.k.a. garage with lights). This was my first time working with a makeup artist as well. Kat was a great addition. She worked on both Anton and Dasha. Dasha’s work was a bit more involved, so I had some time to shoot with Anton alone. We ended up with some fun shots.

We did a bit more work on the red backdrop. I was excited about the images, and hoping they would turn into good i-stock files. I-stock threw me a bit of a curve. They rejected the shots on the red backdrop I had submitted with Tiffany from the week before (see last post). The red became too pixelated after even minimal photoshopping. I went back to the drawing board. I reprocessed all of the images with almost no photoshop adjustments. Hopefully, they’ll be sharp enough to get some attention (and not get deleted) on i-stock.

Happy New Year!
