It has been another productive month! In looking through the images I find it fascinating how well our color palettes align from prompt to prompt and how similar and different our images can be. Although we have all been very consumed in the day-to-day, I am thrilled that we have managed to stay on track. Bravo! I look forward to next month's challenge. :)

This spring, myself and two of my very close friends, Shannie Denney and Kirsten Ireland, organized a photography group called "3 Photographers, 3 Worlds, 3 Perspectives." We were originally inspired by a similar online photo group shared between two women affiliated with the blog, "Mortal Muses." From their exceptional example, we developed a modified approach and set off into the world with what I like to call a new set of "camera eyes."

To give you a feel for how the group works, our objective in the challenge is to follow 9 monthly prompts to influence the capture of 27 collective photographs each month. These images are all to follow an intimate theme to create a visual comparison of our everyday lives and lend perspective on our individuality, approach, and creative style.

In the process, we hope to have a lot of fun and inspire and motivate one another to develop our skills and expand our photographic language. And, although there are some guidelines, there are not many rules. Because of this, I believe it is safe to say that the images will be just as diverse as the photographers themselves. In fact, expect to see images derived from an assortment of photography formats, photographic devices, and processing techniques! 

Thank you for taking the time to check us out! Feel free to follow us throughout our journey, as we are excited to share our work!

Second Curtain SOOC








So, I shot the above images in my studio using a combination of strobe and tungsten lighting and the second curtain sync on my D-SLR. If you look closely, you'll see that some of the movement is completely stopped by the strobe flash, while other parts are merely slowed by the tungsten continuous light. I love this effect! The technique was a blast to experiment with. Anyway, stay tuned; I'm sure there will be more to come!!
