I did this concept with me as model a couple of days ago but it really suits Joeri better. I discovered how awesome it is to work with someone who is a real artist. He was not afraid to try this and he brings so much to the picture. ◊ Tumblr ◊ Deviantart ◊ Facebook ◊ Personal Fb page ◊ Formspring

meet rita + oleg! these two drove up from chicago for their engagement session last month, which was a really fantastic time! i usually dont do engagement sessions, but these two were up for anything and everything creative so i was totally in for shooting them (plus they are insanely adorable, how could i say no?!)! so congrats to the two love birds who will be married this may. i was inspired to create this by the phrase "you light up my life." really cheesy saying, but hopefully i gave it some new light - heh, pun intended. ;) ive also been extra inspired by recent things ive seen from the master of whimsy, mr. tim walker. you can see the before/after on facebook - i cant even count how many times i had to scrap this and start over - it was incredibly difficult but i was determined to create this image for these two! after finally finishing it, i feel very accomplished. :) more from their session can also be viewed over on my blog. p.s. rita and oleg are seriously the best - i got this thank you card from them in the mail yesterday. p.p.s. spot the recycled prop! :P formspring for q's!

This is a little something from a project we've been cultivating for a little while now. We're pretty proud of how it's shaping out. You can see more of the mixed project here! It's a double exposure created in Photoshop (not in-camera) of a medium format shot from last winter and a digital shot taken this summer in Cape Cod. Reblog on Tumblr here! as always: our tumblr, Mak's Website, More from the MixProject Interview of Michelle on Junnnktank!

Hi, hello, press L I am so proud of this and it came out of nowhere, really. Isn't that funny, the way happy accidents work? I am working on a series right now and I have been aching to show off the whole thing but it's not finished yet but I am too proud of this one to keep it under wraps. This project is for my color photo class, it's a home series of sorts. Ryan built this beautiful plexi glass frame for me and I've been carrying it around in the back of my car for a few weeks, taking it to multiple locations and taking self portraits with it. This one is my absolute favorite so far. Today I made the sporadic decision to shoot in the pond on my university's campus, my original idea involved me submerged but not underneath the frame. After shooting a few images with the original composition I wasn't pleased. And then couldn't help but fall in love with the way my dress was moving in the water, so I decided to try something different. Something very frightening. Being trapped under the plexi glass scared me but not enough to keep me from trying it. The water was freezing and the greatest friend in the world, James Hall, maneuvered my camera for me while I wriggled underneath the plexi glass time and time again. He helped me lug the plexi glass out onto the island we were on, he pressed the shutter, made sure I was centered and so much more. I am so lucky to have friends who don't think my photo adventures are crazy, who are willing to help me when I need it. I am so thankful. One more thing, When I shoot and I am really into it I get really bad tunnel vision and I can't feel anything except this intense photo adrenaline. In between shots I caught myself shaking rapidly and short of breath, but I pushed it aside and crawled back into the water over and over again. By the time we finished my feet were completely numb and walking back to the car was like torture. This photo trance could be dangerous but I live for it. Thanks for milling through all of these words and have a lovely night

It’s a new year. A new year full of new hopes, new heartaches, new people, and new life. I will be better this year. I will open my heart to love and let go of old grudges. I will take chances and be brave and not let opportunities pass me by. I will keep myself busy and keep myself healthy. I will stop crying, start laughing, and heal myself inside and out. I will make new friends and keep the old ones. I will treat people the way they should be treated. How I want to be treated. I will be an example, and I will give my life over to Him. I will walk in familiar footsteps and tread on new ground. I will expand my mind and realize that I don’t know everything, but I can learn. I will photograph every moment, and never forget a day. I will finish my novels and I will remind myself how a paintbrush feels. I will love myself. I will love myself. I will love myself. I will be happy. This year will be for letting go and moving on. I promise. Happy New Year, folks. Listen

“What am I?” “You’re a bird,” he whispered. I thought about this for a moment. “How am I a bird?” “Because you’re trapped. You want so badly to fly away, to be free, but you’re stuck in your nest here. You’re not strong enough to fly yet.” I dropped my eyes, amazed that he could know so much about me, without really knowing me at all. “Well, when will I be strong enough?” I ventured, my voice small. “Only you can decide that. You’ll know when you’re ready.” “And until then?” The corner of his lip twitched into a small smile. “Stretch your wings, little bird.” Listen
