I am sure Joy is wondering where her pictures are! Her mom told me that she very different and had all these props she wanted to use. I was so excited! I love props! All the props were very vintage and it got me to thinking about how to add a different element of vintage. So, I brought a white sheet to hold up behind her and I was going to find a vintage street scene photograph at an Antique store. Way easier thought than actually done. I went to several Antique stores in Denver and couldn't find what I was looking for, I bought a few postcards, but no photographs. Then I went to an Antique store in Lafayette where I knew they had a lot of photographs. Turns out they were removed. I bought a few postcards and few a Stereoscope images. They didn't work out so well. I went back and combed through everything again. I found a photographic post card of The Piazzetta and that seems to have been the best one, but I keep thinking and looking. As I was creating these images, I loved how some parts of the street scenes were on her dress, so I did one of Times Square on her dress and luggage. I think I am going to play around with that some more, but I thought it best to get her blog up before she comes to look at the pictures today! So here is Joy and some of my favorite pictures from her session.
I love this image! The rays of light were so cool!
These were so much fun!
Joy and her mom were so patient with me as I placed the white sheet (her mom and my daughter held it, it was so helpful!) and I tried to place Joy and figure out how to do this.... And then... and then, I had to photoshop the white sheet out because it looked better to have a faded street view.
This one had the white sheet and I felt like it was too obvious... but I think I need more time to look at it and think about it. Maybe put a frame around it? Or make it look like it is peeling into our world?
I love the props and thought Joy put into what she wanted to do and bring! I really enjoyed working with her and hearing what she wanted to do. It felt more like a collaboration and I appreciated knowing what she wanted!
