Erin DeGraw for Virtual Noise.

Friday here in Edmonton I shoot Erin for an Atlanta based website www.visualnoise.org. We shoot for a couple of hours near her home, and I talked her into shooting a little portfolio piece for me. 

These are a few of her picks for virtual noise.

I thought the eye make-up was a bit much, however that's what they wanted for a sexy Oh Canada theme.

A couple of test shots

Like most photographers, I test my lighting setups (we used to shoot polaroids) before the talent is ready.  Ideally I like to get the basics right before the talent even arrives on set so I can get to know them a little while they are in hair and make up.

Avalon was our model a few weeks ago I grabbed this test of her, mostly because she's awesome.

A few months ago we rented a studio for a shoot.  While I was setting up and bullshitting with the studio manager (unfortunately I'm kind of horrible with names) he offered to stand in.  I love the braided goatee.

Yesterdays shoot with Avalon, and Kali

A couple of quick edits I banged out last night to send to the team.

Lookbook for Urbanite Designory

T and I shot with my friend Dee Tuesday.  I've been shooting with Dee for almost two years, she's a great client, and defiantly has a perspective all her own.

In april I stolde a quick shot in this style while on my shoot with Naomi, and Shaina, and I've been doing on most of my shoots since.  I guess they are turning into a little side project.

Final Edits From Friday's shoot with Mary and America

 

Test shoot Yesterday

My friend Mary asked me to do a test shoot with her, so yesterday we shoot the beautiful America.  T and I drove out to Downey.  Mary planed to do three looks, and be done in four hours, five looks and seven hours later I think everyone was a little tired.

This is a quick edit I pulled out for a personal project I've been working on.
