First Personal Studio Shoot

Last week I did a photo shoot with Sarah Sheldrick. It was pretty exciting to have finally done a shoot of my own in the studio. It inspired me to do more of them... more frequently.

So, this week has been a pretty stressful one. I recently had 300 dollars stolen from me (by someone I hope I don't trust). The most frustrating thing about it is that I finally felt like I was gaining some lead way in terms of supporting myself with my photography. This has set me back, it sucks.

Also, tomorrow I have an interview with a photographer that I hope to work with in the future. I'm pretty excited about this. He wanted some examples of my digital imaging so I made him some before and after examples. I think i'll post them on here for anyone that may be interested.

Picture time...

Here are the shots from the recent shoot I did in the studio. All images are saturated on here for some reason. So, you can also check them out at http://ItsDylan.deviantart.com - click them then full view them (by clicking the picture) to see the correct colors/saturation.

All images are shot in Studio 77.

Uppddatteee

Where are we?

Okay, so nothing really exciting has happened in the area of photography.

I've been doing shoot's for Stock Foundry - today I did a shoot in the studio with a karate theme. It was pretty neat! The model worked really well for us and everything went smoothly.

And... I'm still trying to get my friggin website up. It's been overly frustrating. Once I think I have everything in order... it just doesn't work. So I call them, and now i'm waiting for a response. I'm about to give up on this company. Let it be known that I do not recommend Webserve to anyone as a web host.

Well, lately I went to Montreal with a few friends and climbed to the top of Mount Royal. Here are a few pictures of it.




And the cross at the top:





Also, I recently went and saw The National the same night as Kiss. Here are some photos from The National.






Alright. That's all I've got for now.

There's a cow in this one.

Ah! It's been too long since I've done this!!

Well, what has happened.

We had our Studio opening! It went really well! A decent amount of people came out and had a grand ol' time! Drinks were had, people were met... and people were impressed :D. Pretty exciting.

Heres a picture later in the night when it started to become more of a party:



What else! Oh! I got my business cards! Except the host of my website has been screwing me around. It's been almost two weeks and they havn't given me a host! And i've called them 4 times - each time they say the next step will fix the problem. DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF.

I decided to go extremely simple with the design of the card. I used the Eurostile font. (which I use for most of my business stuff). I also chose to not put a picture on it because I get sick of my photo's really quick; so seeing the same one over and over would drive me insane and i'd be frustrated it's on there.

here they are:




... So I just got the website host. Now it's a matter of getting it online. It's more confusing than I thought it would be. I'm hoping I can get it up tomorrow night. I'm excited. I think this will be a good step in getting things going. Now my business cards will actually link to something. hah oh man.

Things seem to be getting more busy. I kind of like that. Bring it.

Some pictures.

I forgot to put my signature on them... but please don't take them.
