This project feels like Christmas morning every month when it rolls around. I love it for so many reasons. I am fortunate enough to share this project with the amazing talents of Maureen Wilson, Jules Trandem, Brenda Acuncius, Nichole Van, Stacey Woods, Gina Oh, Marianne Drenthe, Jefra Starr Linn, Martha Schuster, Jennifer Nguyen, Kamee June, Tamara Burross, and Andrea Tate. The pressure of creating something worthy of this circle motivates me every month. But my favorite part of this project has been the opportunity to try new things. When I create images for clients, my work remains consistent so that clients can see my “style” and know what they can expect. But when I work on personal projects, it’s my opportunity to play around with new methods in-camera and in post production.
Last month I worked with several different images to blend them into one composite with a nod to the supernatural for the month of Halloween. Here in California November is the beginning of the rainy season so I wanted to create something consistent with this season. I knew I wanted to do a black and white in the rain so I took my muse out, at the first sign of rain, to this very cool bridge. Once I began the editing process, I decided to experiment with some of the tools I rarely, if ever, use. After many hours and much trial and error the resulting image included the use of the artistic paint daubs filter. I really like the way it turned out and may just have this printed for my wall.
Join me as I visit the amazing talent in our group starting with Nichole Van | Utah Portrait and Wedding Photographer.
Happy Monday!
