Black & White

M. in Black & White

Black & White sessions are photographed in classic and elegant black and white for a very timeless and emotive feel. The way I see and shoot during a Black & White session is different than other sessions which means that the final black and white print isn’t an afterthought. While all sessions are photographed digitally, and thus the file from the camera is in color, the photos are converted to black and white and processed to match the overall look and style I honed in the film lab. My black and whites tend to have plenty of contrast and cover the range from deep black to complete white with only a few exceptions. Black and white photographs are simply beautiful and can easily transcend trends making them paramount in the quest for timelessness.

Color

Color sessions can be vivid, subdued, bold or subtle; just as long as there’s color! Color sessions can be a lot of fun to plan when it comes to coordinating a particular outfit to the setting and vice versa. Though color sessions tend to be vivid and fun, they certainly can be toned down for a more traditional portrait look. When choosing between a color session or another kind of session, I recommend thinking about where your print will be hanging. If it’s a series going on the wall of your child’s warmly toned orange play room, then I might recommend cooler hues in his or her outfit with orange accents. Color photographs make great custom, meaningful, coordinating art.

Shot In The Dark

Trampoline Gaige

Shot In The Dark sessions are similar to the On White session in that the nature of the background and scene allows for focus to fall heavily on the subject. They can be indoors or outdoors, however outdoor Shot In The Dark sessions offer the most when it comes to the “wow” factor like the photo of Gaige above against the night sky. There are a lot of cool backdrops already out there in the real world for these kinds of sessions whether it’s a local city street, the sunset, a skyline, the sky itself or just darkness, a Shot In The Dark portrait is likely to be one of the most unique photos you’ll have.

On White

Maddox On White

NOTE: I am not currently booking any On White sessions, though I do anticipate booking them in the late Autumn & Winter months.

On White sessions take place indoors on a white seamless backdrop. The simplicity of photographing on white leads to a final portrait that is truly all about the subject. With no background distractions or props, the portrait is ultimately a perfect document of the person being photographed. On White, though very simple in look does not equal a boring photograph. On White is a great setting for the subject’s personality to shine. These kinds of portraits tend to be glimpses of the personality of the subject rather than a study in environmental interaction. The white background also happens to go perfectly with any paint color or decorative styling in your home.

The Final Countdown

Well folks.

This is a little warning post that this site will be offline and online and back off and on some in the coming days & weeks as I am overhauling it. The blog will no longer be here, but it will be easy to find and all will be explained in the near future. I just wanted to warn you that there would be a big fat ugly under construction page coming soon.

There will surely be other weirdness too.

Yay!
