I’ve been shooting a lot of random portraits recently trying to learn new techniques and expand on my portfolio. Luckily the weather gave us a break the other day and my new friend Liz agreed to model for a few shots for me. Liz was also part of the Rad Tank Tops photoshoot and is extremely photgenic and just an all around nice girl. I look forward to working with her again.

Nothing major recently… Shot some photos of Nic getting her three quarter sleeve outlined the other night, also shot some photos of my friend Caleb again, and did a topless zombie photoshoot for a submission to a local art zine. Click the view more link below for the photos. Be warned, they are NOT WORK SAFE.

This man is my good friend Chukwuma Nwaomah, but we just call him “Chux” (pronounced Chooks).If there is one thing my man Chux is good at, that’s getting a party started. It was hard to pick the header photo for this update, because quite frankly I had so many I really enjoyed, but I finally settled on this one, because I felt it really just captured the energy of what exactly happened on Saturday. For anyone confused as to what’s going on here’s the basic run down.
Every October the town of Hermann, MO, a small quiet town known for it’s wineries and rich in German heritage, hosts Oktoberfest. One Saturday out of the month we get on buses around 10-11am and begin partying. We arrive in Hermann about an hour later and party all day at the wineries, then head home on the buses again. That’s just the basic run down, to really truly understand and appreciate it all you really just have to be there. I tried my best again this year to document it all, and I’m really happy with how a lot of the photos came out. More photos after the jump.

Last week was so busy. Work, two shows in two different cities, a photoshoot on Thursday, work, and Oktoberfest (pics in next update). Thursday’s shoot was with radtanktops.com… They’re a custom screen printing company that just started up here in town. I’m helping them build a website soon where they can sell their designs and you can also place orders for custom work. They wanted everyone to just be wearing plain colored shirts, tank tops, and v-necks for the shoot. Some (a lot) of these images will also be used on their website that’s in the works. We had originally planned for an outdoor shoot which involved some cool locations and a trampoline, but mother nature in her typical fashion, decided to rain on our parade. So we shot some indoors shots, and a few in the alley behind my apartment during a break in the down pour. More pictures after the jump.
