First Time for Everything

Parked Trailers, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

This is Judy, and this was her first time trying to be a model. Everybody has had pictures taken of them, but being expected to do something interesting and/or attractive WHILE someone is taking a picture of you can be a little bit . . . intense. And she was a bit tense and nervous at first, but as the night went on, she loosened up more and more. Cammila also came along for the ride to give her some pointers and bolster her confidence, which was great because I was very focused on the photography (manual focus lenses at night when you can hardly see your model are a pain in the ass; I'll be buying an autofocus 50mm lens soon, even though it's going to cost me just under 4 times what I paid for my manual focus one!).

Overall, a successful night was had by all.

Cross Over

If you liked the stuff I shot on Monday, go take a gander at Cammila's blog. She posted a ton more from that shoot and had a story of her own for them!

Michiganders, you all know that there are two seasons in Michigan: Winter and Construction. This is a representation of the latter.

And this is a fun impressionism shot. Enjoy.

The Prom Nightmare

The Prom Nightmare, pt.1, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

The prom was going so well, until the drive home. Without any warning, Cammila's date pulled off into a parking lot and pushed her out of the car. She was shocked and infuriated. What sort of joke was this? And where in god's name was she, anyway?

The Prom Nightmare, pt.2, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

It didn't take long for her to notice that something was very wrong with her surroundings. There were noises like people whispering coming from the shadows, but she couldn't make out the words. There were scraping and clanking noises. She was too afraid to call for help, too terrified to move.

The Prom Nightmare, pt.3, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

The lights went off. All that could be heard, if indeed there were anyone to hear, were a flurry of raking and slicing noises, and then nothing.
