A FRESH START!

Hello new and old followers!


Sati and I have decided to switch to blogspot. We were previously on tumblr, but we found it to be too impersonal and is generally used as what I will call "drive-by blogging", where no one really takes the time to read long posts but is just looking for a quick fix. (kinda like drugs but probably a worse addiction for some) (by some I mean me and by probably I mean definitely)

ANYWAY, this is our new home and we plan to keep it that way! If you don't have blogspot, you can still follow us if you sign up for bloglovin! It's a great site to keep track of things if you like blogs from all over the webosphere. There is a convenient little button you can click on the side bar to follow us with it.

I know before we moved there was some serious lack of activity! We both got really busy with school, but we just had spring break and hopefully now that we have a shiny new place to blog, we will feel more inclined to keep this thing jam packed with pretty things to peek at.

My main reason (pathetic excuse) for a lack of blogging was FINALZZZZ. My school (SCAD) is on a trimester system instead of quarters, so we go for 10 weeks, 3 times a year instead of 2 quarters for 15 weeks. It actually works out pretty swell since you get to do a lot of different things in a school year and even though the classes seem overwhelming at times due to being so condensed, I really enjoy it. The main project that took up my time was my Project Seminar Photo class. It's basically a course built into the curriculum designed to give students a chance to build their portfolios and do whatever they want.

I chose to do what I usually do and shoot some backlit portraits with fashion undertones and a vintage mood. Here are some of the photographs that I've not yet posted ANYWHERE ELSE (SO EXCLUSIVE Y'ALL)

The styling, shooting, and post processing was all done by me. Both models are friends of mine - have I mentioned how I wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for the fact that I have a lot of pretty friends? Seriously though, super convenient.

Hopefully some new photographs can be enough to win you over and make you forget all about our nasty break up with tumblr. I plan on using this blog to post unreleased and behind the scenes shots more often, as well.


Tomorrow (7 hours from now, at 8 AM, uuuhhhh) I will be starting my new quarter which includes a Studio Lighting photography course. Previously I've only worked with natural light in environmental settings, so expect a ton of fresh, new work coming to this space as soon as I get started shooting for the class! I should probably go to sleep now so I don't sleep through my first day of classes!

Hope you all enjoy the new blog and decide to continue to follow us!



xoxox,
