Pageant Program Book

First off – I’m apologize to all my friends here in LiveSpaces.  I’ve been away for quite a while with no updates at all!

Been a rather trying period as I deal with work and the economy, but I would like to say I’ve made some progress in that arena.  Thanks for your positive vibes sent in my direction.  I appreciate it.

Ok, on to photography.  In October, I was involved in shooting glamour/pin up style photos for the Miss ND USA and Miss ND Teen USA pageant program book.  For the most part, I tried to shoot my photos in an “old hollywood glamour” style.  It was a complex style to shoot, but SO much fun compared to normal modeling work that I do on a regular basis.

I’m going to post a couple of my favorites here, but I’ll post links to ALL the photos at the end of this message (if you want to see more!)

I only shot a portion of the contestants.  I encourage you too look at the rest shot by Matt Lentz here: Miss ND USA

I’m working on some other photos.  Hope to have another post soon.

  1. In looking at the contrast within these images, it tends to bring me back to my college days or even high school when I studied the works of Edward Steichen. Personally, I prefer the first and third image most. The second image comes across a bit hot, probably just an online thing. The forth image is good but just not on the same level of the top three. Great collection. I wish I could access facebook, but it is blocked in China. I look forward to your next post. Cheers.

  2. Amazing Images and work. You have the light perfect from what I can see . I have never done anything that comes close to this kind of photography . They really look like pinup girls. Just Beautiful B&Ws. So very soft looking as well.Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family PJ.
