creative photography ideas



through the viewfinder photography. a form of photography i first learned about 3 years ago. i find it hard to explain but i've posted an example from google that shows how it all works. the photo below is a self portrait that i took with a timer. the camera takes am image of the viewfinder from the old camera. so it looks like the below image with the square in the middle of a bunch of black that comes from the tunnel.

more pin holes.

the first image is another pinhole with my 4x5 camera. the second was my attempt to use a sink drain but with pin holes the camera focuses on everything so it didn't turn out well.

pin hole series

spent my afternoon taking multiple pin hole images. with this series i tried to take close ups of things around the journalism building. i wanted a different look than just landscapes. i'm pleased with the results and hope to do more tomorrow. this first image was just for fun of 2 friends on a nice afternoon stroll.

from artist to artist

For the past 5 years i have been following a musician by the name of JJ Heller and her husband Dave. With every cd, it has been a blessing hearing her grow into the business and as a musician. This past week she released a new music video called "who you are". this video is so beautiful and so touching. With my photography i try to connect emotionally with my audience through the simplicity of a photograph. Here, JJ does the same with such simple but powerful lyrics. I wish there were more musicians and videos like this. The lighting and the overall look of the video is just simply gorgeous! Below are some of my favorite shots from the video and the youtube link so that you can go watch it for yourself.
