A few posts back I mentioned that I went to New Orleans to hang out with WendyVee after the Pictage Conference wrapped up.  I still need to edit the pictures from that weekend and post a few (more) here, but I can’t do it now because I am just now downloading them from my camera, along with pictures taken since then. 

While we were in N.O., we had a few fake photo shoots where we were each other’s models.  We took pictures of each other (using both cameras) and it helped us get a feel for how to work with someone during a shoot, work with different lighting and just generally have some fun. 

I’ve quickly gone through the 90 pictures that were on my camera and picked out some favorites.  I had already copied these pictures from my camera so that I can send them on to Wendy.  That’s why they are ‘available’ to post but my other New Orleans pictures aren’t.  Wait … now that I think about it, I realize there are more pictures from other locations that I haven’t located/sorted/sent to her yet.  I’ll get to that soon.  But for now, here are some of my favorites.  If you’re interested in me taking some pictures of you, let me know.  For now, I’m shooting for free.  Later, I’ll cut friends and family a good deal.  But eventually, when I’m really famous, you’ll have to get in line for my services just like everyone else!    Enjoy!

I think this picture captures the *essence* of Wendy.  Or something like that.

Look!  I’m a photographer who can make my models laugh!  I love how spontaneous the laugh is!  The fact that it looks like we rented a wind machine to blow her hair was an unexpected bonus!

We actually had fun doing the shoot, once we got past the awkwardness of pretending.

I think this is the kind of picture that makes you dream up stories about who she is and what she’s doing.

In addition to Wendy’s expressions (or lack thereof), what I love most about the following photos is the angles that are going on.  I think the pictures have more interest and, in a few of them, I am thrilled that I managed to get the subject (Wendy) in a somewhat vertical position while the building in the background is at an angle!  Believe it or not, I have actually been working on that – I think I’m making some progress!
