So recently purple nickel studio joined forces with Mark Eric creator of MODERN PHOTOGRAPHERS…and we’re so happy to be part of the site. Finally an online resource specifically designed for the freshly-hip client looking for a stylish ‘professional’ photographer with over-the-top creative flair! Aww yeeah!  This site is going to connect so many families with well qualified working artists instead of ‘joe-smo’ with a pocket camera down the road. Can’t ya tell I’m bitter about that subject?. We can’t voice our opinion enough on how important it is to invest in a ‘true’ artist & photographic artwork. Times are a changing people & everywhere…especially when it comes to capturing your memories.  modernphotographers.com is a place to find talented individuals who want to share their visions with such amazing people.  With that said we’re delighted to have 3 MOD images showcased on the home page from 3 of our uniquely fabulous clients who took a chance on us crazy rascals. So click on the images below to be taken to the site.  Explore, wonder, drool, and most importantly connect with the talent that’s apparent within this group of artists.  

 

First up Lauren, Ryan, and little Starla.  The couple who will let us do anything we want!  And of course they never disappoint us when they bring they’re game!  Cause they always do!

 

 

Second, the Bowen Family!  OMG Eric just loves this image.  It expresses everything about our company. Architectural materials, the raw-ness, and of course utter randomness.  And who wouldn’t love our funky twist on the so-called ‘mug shot’!  MMMMM….yumminess.

 

 

Last but not least…Miss super fly Julie…aka ‘buglet’.  So I don’t want all this exposure to go to her head…wait it already has! Opppps.  Well she is quite gorgeous.  Though I think every sis says that about one another.  I hope?.

We had about an hour of light left on New Year’s day before we headed out for a mini shoot with my shinny new toy. Canon 5D mark II.  I was looking to capture that buttery light and golden hour to a tee. And since it was a miracle for both of us to have the day off together we knew we had to play around.  This was my only focus and what ever else we got would be the cherry on top. Through the hour she kept asking me ‘what do you want me to do?…how do you want me to stand?’  I said ‘just stare at my lens and I’ll do the rest.’  When I said this I think she thought ‘these are not gonna be so hot!’…LOL.  I guess what most people don’t think of when it comes to a shoot is…as little direction as possible seems to let their pure essence roam free.  There’s no stuffy awkwardness.  Just simple exploration around a subject and the environment which holds them.  I pretty much just said ‘look out this way’, ‘look down’, look out of the corner of your eye’, ‘LAUGH’.  The laughing one always comes off CHEESY but totally works.  You almost have to be over the top to make it believable in the lens.  So I just chuckle like a big bellied man! Ha. Or I do something silly which always catches them off guard.  It’s these moments that get the so-called $$$ shot!  I totally *heart* these.  Julie has had lots of experience in front of the camera ever since our days as kids with a simple camera and needing a subject to photograph.  She’s my little sister and is always always always up for anything.  I can think back to every shoot we’ve done together and every time I’m always amazed by her inner beauty.  I’m so lucky to have my little buglet!  Or in this case my guinea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love you always & forever.  I couldn’t imagine my life without you.  And those little text messages we send each other just rock my world.  Even if they’re about you being on the crapper
