Late Night Visions

 

So, what do you do when the insomnia sets in and you are up all night…think up photo shoot ideas right.  The idea for this shoot has been floating around in my head for a long time and so in October I rounded up some of the cutest girls I know and tried to take the vision out of my head and make it a reality.  My late night vision included sundresses, balloons, lots of big blue sky, silhouettes, bright colors, blown out backgrounds, lens flares, and lots of backlight.  Here are the results…

We got some beautiful shots, but I am the first to admit the artist inside of me needs to be patient with the photographer.  When I first started shooting in manual I could see drastic improvements everyday.  Now my expectations have been stretched and where I would like to be someday as a photographer stretches so far out in the distance that I wonder if the vision in my head will ever match what comes out of the camera.  Ira Glass said when talking about this gap between vision and ability, “It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.”  So here is the start of my volume…thank you beautiful girls for contributing your smiles and laughter.
