picnic!

alright for my second shoot, we're going to have to go on a picnic. i know, that sounds terrible... but this time, i'm going to keep the environment colorful and the people are going to be in grayscale. for example:

i would like to make it very staged like:

and be less composed than the previous shoot with shots like this:

now for some locations!

location 1

independence, tx

location 2

horticulture garden

i'm leaning towards the horticulture gardens for a few reasons:

- more colorful

- possibility of electrical outlets are a lot higher

- super close

- already have permission from people to shoot there

models:

hilary (from the last shoot) has already said yes.

working on finding a boy.

final product

all photos are untouched by photoshop.

model: hilary (& jacob)

special thanks to jacob

wig

for some reason, i've been thinking that i HAD to get a gray wig. i didn't even think that black would work. therefore, i've finally purchased a wig. however, i accidentally shipped it to my parents' house. i will be retrieving it this weekend, fingers crossed!

dresses

dress number 1

two piece

dress number 2

rhinestones!

there is a 3rd dress that's purple, but alas, i can't fit into it anymore.

possible locations

i am still trying to figure out a good location and i started thinking about outdoor spaces that could maybe work. most of these are located extremely close to streets and i don't know if i'd have to get permission from the building owners to use the space outside their business. some of these places are also really sketchy...

this is one of my friend's backyards. i broke in under cover of darkness to check it out (don't worry, she knew i was coming,) but it was a lot smaller than i remembered. i have a feeling the ambient light from the neighbors' yards might affect the photo. i have another yard that's a lot bigger than this one that i need to check out soon.

the best choice in bryan belongs to a small business on main street. they have a lovely fence keeping out strange people.

this place might be torn down in a few days. no idea.
