A.E.LANDES PHOTOGRAPHY

Here are some shots from one of the more exciting events from this season - Tussey’s Log Jam/Big Air Competition. I just got one of Canon’s new cameras, so I have been wanting to really put it through the stress test of high-contrast, fast action subjects. Plus I love snowboarding. And watching people who are fifty-times better than I ever will be. I took some designer liberties and jacked the saturation and said good-bye to conventional colors, so I hope you enjoy the galleries!

Aaron has been a long-time friend, and was my other set of eyes and fashion consultant for Irene and Ashlynn’s portrait shoot. He needed some shots for his use to put his face along with his crazy web/social-networking software development (CoTweet), so we shot away while the ladies were getting ready. Funny, yes. Serious, yes. Sarcastic, always. I think a good dose of his personality really comes through on these images.

I count myself lucky to have friends this beautiful AND love to have their pictures taken! We had a chilly but successful session on the roof of their house in DC, and we then moved to the back patio for a few and had a candlelit experience inside. I find that I am really hard on myself with posed images - I mean, I want them to be as technically perfect as I can manage. I ended up only keeping the top 10%, of which I think the one of them sitting on the floor of the roof is the money-maker. Wow. Thanks Irene and Ashlynn - you two are truly wonderful ladies!
