PHOTOGRAPHY: With Fitness Model Maria Christine

Hey guys! So today I wanted to share a set of photos that I took almost a year and a half ago, but have recently made their way into my editing queue.  My long-time friend (we are talking friends since birth here), Maria, is a fitness model, and approached me about doing a shoot.  Before I show you the images, I just want to say how inspiring Maria is.  She has worked SO hard.  She had a goal, and she went for it.  And I am so proud of her.  She is strong, amazing, and beautiful inside, and out!

She wanted to shoot a few different looks, but I didn't share all of them.  But anyways - a million years later, here they are.  I'm pretty happy with them.  I am enjoying the versatility of digital imaging right now.  I think it's great that I can change my images from colour to black and white with just a couple of clicks, and create an incredibly different mood.  I don't know why I resisted for so long.  I'm just a film snob I guess.

THOUGHTS: On Photography

I mentioned that I have been trying to take more photos lately.  After my little shoot with my dress the other day - I started thinking about clothing, and my relationships with my clothes.  

I took these photos today.  I really liked them, so I thought that I would share.  I think I'm onto something here.  I have a really good idea that I'm super excited about.  I am thinking medium format and some large, gorgeous black and white prints. 

I might try some engineering prints for tests! :)
