(OLD PHOTOGRAPHY COMPANY) TM Photography By: Chris' photostream

---I'm in the process of changing my photography company right now---

Did a test shoot today with Araya in this really cool old barn. Wanted to shoot some Edgy High Fashion looks. This is what I came up with after looking through clothing.

Let me know what you think

Canon 400D
50mm 1.8
JTL 160w Studio Strobes
Phoshot Wireless triggers

Shot with one Strobe just left of mode and waste high at a little less then half power. and another strobe facing just behind and up to the right of model at 1/8 power

I am starting to do more creative work for print and that captures pure emotion from things that I see, read, and want to portrait in my own vision. This piece is titled "Darkening Sorrows", and it is one of many creative pieces to come. Inspired by this poem.

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark
By: Emily Dickinson

We grow accustomed to the Dark --
When light is put away --
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye --

A Moment -- We uncertain step
For newness of the night --
Then -- fit our Vision to the Dark --
And meet the Road -- erect --

And so of larger -- Darkness --
Those Evenings of the Brain --
When not a Moon disclose a sign --
Or Star -- come out -- within --

The Bravest -- grope a little --
And sometimes hit a Tree
Directly in the Forehead --
But as they learn to see --

Either the Darkness alters --
Or something in the sight
Adjusts itself to Midnight --
And Life steps almost straight.

I shot Carissa a little while back now. I was going through some of my old catalogs of photos and came across this frame. I just looked at it and said "why did I not use this yet" and so here it is. I hope you like the fine art frame. I do not shoot them very often.
