color scheme

This is just a little series from an assignment in my color photo class, we had to photograph six color schemes in whatever way we saw fit, based on abstract, still life or portraiture.

These photos would have never existed had it not been for Ryan, he drove up to Jacksonville early in the morning with a day's notice just to help me in the studio when I had some confusion with my model. I hadn't really planned to do self portraits but he came and helped me figure it out.

He helped me with lighting, composition and concepts, he just helped to bring my ideas to life.

We work so well as a team, we play off of each other's strengths and weaknesses and our ideas always come together so smoothly

he's the best

I am relatively pleased with these, they are really simple and they ended up surprisingly well considering the circumstances

enjoy xo

Emily

Yesterday I journeyed over to Georgia to meet up with Emily Tebbetts on St. Simons Island. I have never driven to another state by myself, granted it was only 45 minutes to the state line it still felt as though I was taking a big step and having my own real adventure.

Emily and I have never met before and it's a strange thing, to cross over from being virtual to being standing in front of someone in reality. But as I expected, Emily was absolutely a spark. She told funny, quirky and touching stories. Eventually we couldn't stop ourselves from talking, in between photos we kept cutting each other off, gabbing away about random topics, personal and universal.

It's so refreshing to meet someone and suddenly click with them. Some of the loveliest people come into our lives in weird ways and I am so thankful for flickr and all of the art platforms for allowing me to collide with so many brilliant people.

We just explored and shot, there was no real plan involved so here are some sporadic photos from the places we found ourselves in.

This is Emily's blog post
