Tumblr how I forgot you. Here is Marshall to make up for it. Hopefully we can align our schedules again soon and do some more creative work together. So much fun.

Dream World Cirque Live for the “Purple Gala” celebrating the opening of the US Bank Stadium shot by me. :D

I uploaded this image with a couple of my other shots from this series to Imgur and was DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY. The barrage of comments went something like “slutty” “should have stopped at 3 photos” “not cosplay” blah blah blah, kill yourself then flagged. 

HOLY SHIT. I don’t see anything wrong with what she’s wearing as being slutty? I mean you see less at the beach. And I didn’t say this was cosplay I said it was cosplayer Helena. Wow I deleted that account as quick as I could and I am still trying to catch my breath from the savagery of it all. Am I delusional? Should I quit trying to create interesting photos of women? 

I don’t even know what to think but now I am second guessing myself when I thought this whole time I was being somewhat objective about what I do. 

UGH.

Cosplayer Helena Steele in studio yesterday for “World Photography Day”. This was part of a BTS lighting video and tutorial that I am putting together. I used a single light set up, with my strobe at its lowest power and adjusted in camera to change exposure. I will post a link here to watch the BTS/tutorial here when it’s finished! I am working on the voice over today! I can’t wait to share with you some of the natural light images from this set. THANK YOU HELENA!

I brought my back up camera with me today to the farmers market and I had to stop and get this. It’s basically a metaphor for my life right now. Lol.

Every time I do a Vape or smoke series of photos it gets hated to death. I still love these. Thanks Marshall! <3

Oh hello Tumblr, I forgot about you. Sorry! Here is something I'm working on to assuage you. 💋 Marshall. 🦄

This is what I'm calling the luckiest shot of my life, a face in the flames. All in camera! The green flames are from a special effects packet you throw into the fire. This was shot with my D800E and 50mm 1.4G, ISO 800, f/1.4, 1/2500s. Crazy! I love Game of Thrones! "For the night is dark and full of terror!" I hope you enjoy this shot! #gameofthrones #lordoflight #night #nikon #d800e #fire #faceintheflames #resourcemag #minnstagramers #me #mn #mpls #stp #saintpaul #got #creepy #beautiful #bizarre #lucky
