Photo Homework: Self Portrait

I was totally dreading this self-portrait assignment for my digital photography class. But, after getting all gussied-up I rather like the results. Thank goodness for wigs, fake eyelashes and rollers!

A day in the park

Kathrin

As most of you know, I’m finally starting to take this photography thing a little more seriously. I always loved taking pictures, but I’m only now discovering how much I love meeting so many different people and getting a glimpse into their world.  Saturday afternoon was a perfect example of meeting an awesome person I probably wouldn’t have crossed paths with otherwise. Katrin is an actress/ model/ ex-pro tennis player who moved to LA from Germany only a year ago. She was awesome to work with, and such a trooper. From gracefully balancing in 4-inch heels in Griffith Park shrubbery to smiling through chattering teeth in a freezing pool after sundown, she did it all beautifully and with incredible ease. Thanks again, Katrin!

Wedding: Lisa and Aldous

On Saturday I had the pleasure of working with Henry Chen Photography as an assistant for the wedding of Lisa Gill and Aldous Trotter. Married on a yacht in Marina Del Rey, it was a short and very sweet ceremony, we had beautiful weather, and Lisa and Aldous were great to work with. I was able to get some shooting in before the ceremony, so here are a couple pics of Lisa getting ready. Her dad wasn't able to make it from England, where Lisa grew up, but he did the next best thing-- he joined via Skype! What would we do without the internet? You can see Lisa, her mum and her dad video conferencing on the computer in a couple shots...
