Friends! -
The above piece was taken a few weeks back now on my favorite chair in
the entire world. I had the need to make something vintage ;)
As is typical. lol. I hope you enjoy.
Bigger and better on my website in full screen mode. Flickr always fiddles with the something or other upon upload...
And OH, feel FREE to mark up my commenting with group invites. No
worries at all ;-)
I love comments the most, but I like those too :p
-----------------
Some additional news, and info:
I have an exhibition at the Park Place Gallery in Kansas City next
Friday and will be attending it. Thank you to everyone who gave me
tips on what to wear :p
I've got a nice little piece picked out.
It's a collaborative exhibition with 26 photogs (including myself) in
all. I'm very excited, as this is the first exhibition of many that i
actually in close enough proximity to, to actually be able to attend,
and not just have my work shown.
-------------
Secondly, I have a very exciting shoot tomorrow, that is going to be one of my most challenging shoots to date, and wanted everyones tips/advice/opinions on what type of lighting you most often use on location, and what you find work the best with mid day shadows, fill etc.... To reword, to my on location photographer friends: What type of lighting do you find yourselves most often loving/using/preferring when on shooting on location?? Feel free to comment, shout out, or message if you have a moment.
----------
Thank you for all the lovely testimonials as well. I truly truly appreciate the support from everyone. I see today my Flickr acct expires which means it's been exactly 2 YEARS since I first started doing this as a career, and I just want to say I have met the most helpful, kind, encouraging, and BRILLIANT people on here. The experience has been (with a few sketchy exceptions ;) such a great great time.
As always, thanks for viewing, and for your help.
Hope everyone is enjoying there last few glimmers of summer, before we
all go crazy with another season!
Ashley

I'm not sure of the scale of your shoot, but I've been using scrimmed sunlight recently on location (sunny beach more often than not). It works out well.

OMG; how beautiful. It's both unique and beautiful. You have a way with your subtle use of color, beautiful, delicate models, and serene surroundings.
I NEVER get good light so don't ask me for light advice. I know that the best light is early morning and early evening and the cream of that only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes on each end. Other than that, if you're using outside light, you're dealing with difficulties. Unless it's cloudy, which is a photogs friend.
Nice to see a post by you, Miss Ash.

With regards to lighting i simply use my 580EX off camera through a white umbrella and i try to find shady spots when shooting midday. Good luck and i am sure you are going to produce amazing photos as ususal :)

Up to your arse in orchids? Sweet! This is a beautiful shot. And I can see why you love the chair!
Wish I could help you with the on site flash issue, but I'm struggling with that a bit myself! Seems every option is expensive! I tend to look for light shade on bright days.
Wonderful news on the shoot and on the gallery show! You'll knock 'em out!
