Portrait Sessions: Kimberly Marcelle

Kimberly Marcelle by Cate Young

with assistance from Mark Gellineau

just a miniature portrait session i did about a week and a half ago. nothing amazing, but i do like how they turned out. i'm hoping to get more work done while i'm home for the summer. i'm really trying to focus on building my portfolio and creating things i can be proud of. although to be fair, i'll probably hate this in 5 years.

another set of photos that i didn't end up using for CF. these are of my friend hilary who is an amazing photographer in her own right. again, like an ass i ended up catching my shadow in a few of the shots so i couldn't use them, but i loved the moments that i captured of her so i didn't want to just discard them.

hilary has a really distinctive style that i love. it's a little hard to describe unless you're her i guess, but if you see her on a regular basis you'd completely get it. she's one of those people that you'd just know by sight. anyway, i'm finally posting these. do enjoy.

i didn't end of using these shots for my CF column because like an ass i forgot to get her information, but i still really liked them, so i'm posting them. as stressful as CF had gotten lately, i'm bummed to not be doing it anymore. but you have to know when to bow out gracefully you know?

a few weeks ago i decided that moving forward i would be transitioning this blog to gear more towards street style. this week i got a taste of what it might be like to do street style full time for this blog.

all i will say is this: hats off to Don Schuman. he makes it seem a LOT easier than it is. 

for my basic photography final project i decided to do a street style essay. (photos here) it wasn't terrible, and i actually really did enjoy myself, but some people are SO RUDE!

i understand that it might be off-putting to have a random stranger approach you and ask for you pictures, but seriously, i'm not an axe-wilding psychopath. RELAX already.

i actually had one woman blatantly ignore me and scurry away. like i was some kind of blight! i'm not even going to pretend that i wan't offended. *harumph* but i did make notice of who obliged me and who didn't. 

i want to say about 2/3 of the people i approached allowed me to photograph them. i was pleased. 

of the 1/3 that refused, 100% of them were white men and women over the age of 50.

i will say no more on that.

bruised ego aside, i really did enjoy shooting streetstyle photographs and it's definitely something i want to continue. i think i'm going to have some business cards made so that people aren't as creeped when i approach them (since i won't have the guise of CF after this month) in any case. i have tons of shots from yesterday so i'm gonna post them all in chunks i think. (or maybe not, we'll see) so look out for those. yay!

Photo of the Day: In Living Colour

this week's CF shot. it's my friend Kesia, and i loved her outfit so much. she has this really retro, fun fresh prince of bel-air/in living colour style and it meshes so well with her personality. i got some other great shots of her as well so check them out after the jump.
