The renegades.
Leah texted me the other day and said she wanted to do a photo shoot with a gun, so we shot this at sunrise today. I really wish I had chosen different lighting and had been able to leave it in color, 'cause that dress is such an array of colors and the smoke was orange and looked awesome, but whatever.. I refuse to be that perfectionist that never posts.
The little dog is Rosie, one of our fosters. She's so skittish.

I thought you were gonna take like a month off after your 365 haha. I actually really like it in black and white, really gives it the grungy renegades feel. Rosie's a cutie

I actually enjoy the black and white...though I am interested to see the smoke color.
I've actually been looking for smoke bombs/etc. Where did you get yours?

aww Rosie looks so precious! And what a BA photo overall! Hey, I went on a sunrise shoot today too btw! How fun... I want to go more often so bad because the light is sooooo good, but man is it challenging to wake so early! Anyhow, I'd love to see the colour version eventually! Sounds great
Seirra Shimshea (10 months ago | reply)
Seriously Alex, just fantastic. I love her pose, and those shoes are to die for. Plus that smoke, it's awesome!
brianoldham (10 months ago | reply)
That little dog is too cute! I'm really glad you're not turning into a perfectionist that never posts. Perfection is way over rated and this picture is pretty perfect just the way it is anyways.

alexandraegreen (10 months ago | reply)
i love this so much, it is great! i am glad you posted again, i missed you work on my contacts updates almost every day haha. i would have enjoyed seeing it in color as well, i bet it would have been interesting....outtake post on your facebook possibly? (;
Nick Silvestri (10 months ago | reply)
aw i wish we could see it in color, the dress looks like it would be nice in color. and orange smoke!? amazing!
I'm glad you're still uploading things that (in your opinion) aren't perfect.
David Talley (10 months ago | reply)
This is really cool. I like the smoke the best, it's really different looking. I think it makes up for not being in color. And I'm glad you posted!

This is another level, my friend. Love the inclusion of the dog. Nice placement of the model and really like her pose. Great in mono.
Danny Montemayor (10 months ago | reply)
Awesome, I think it looks great in black and white, but I do wonder what it looks in color!
It's like the dog is scared of its crazy gun shooting owner lol

RachelMarieSmith (10 months ago | reply)
Great first post since the end of your 365! Tell her that I think the dress is lovely even in black and white. Do another shoot with it another time that you'll be happy with the lighting and keep it in color. :)
Snowflakesarewhite (10 months ago | reply)
Aah could you please upload the color one in comments? I'd love to see it:)
Summ3r Br33ze (10 months ago | reply)
I am SO glad you posted. I thought this stream would be going to be dead from now on!
Awesome shot, but please do us show in color as well - despite the "bad" (which will be excellent in your case anyway) lighting.
Thanks!
