“The Native Americans say to draw someone's portrait is to steal their soul if I am taking photographs, does that mean that I am just borrowing them?” - T. A.

Edgy Crissy

Portrait and wedding photographer, Jeff Turner, set HDP club members up with one of his favorite subjects, Crissy. Her tattoos and colorful outfits in a shut down mill made for an interesting shoot. Crissy’s edginess was obvious in her ability to pose around the abandoned building without thinking about the dust or the run-down conditions around her. She posed where Jeff thought would create the greatest impact. His attention to detail was evidenced in the sites around the former mill that he chose. This coupled with suggestions on where we should stand and how we could capture Crissy was invaluable.

Model was converted to monochromatic for effect.

"Deadhorse Canyon"

I was hoping for a chance to shoot this state park where thr colorado River makes a u-turn but the level of the water was too low so, I opted for a landscape instead.

Still hanging in there: Phil, Deana, Michelle, Tony, EMO, Milt,  Joani, and Mike D.  Happy vacation, Mike!
