Visionary Portraits

Photobucket

We love nothing better than being asked to step outside the traditional when it comes to capturing the essence of a personality. These can sometimes be called "lifestyle portraits". Of course, we prefer to call them Visionary. Sometimes, actually most often, these ideas come in the middle of the night, after pondering the spirit you are trying to capture. There are no rules. At least not from our perspective.
Photobucket

See more portraits at Pure Vision Studios. Who's work do we love? Annie Leibovitz. See this NPR interview, New Leibovitz Collection Reveals Personal Side .

Also this link to her timeline and photos from temple.edu. The only photo in this series that I do NOT like is the one of the Trumps. Please...I would have loved to see one of him combing his hair in the mirror.

Who's portrait work do you love and why? Let us know. Send us comments and links (please, no photos) we will post the first 25. Here's looking at you.



Baby Portraits

Photobucket

What says "Holidays" better than baby Christmas photos? Oh the joy of photographing a beautiful child and creating that "OOOOH How Cute!" moment for the family to treasure forever.

We had a wonderful season shooting family and individual portraits this year. It is a great deal of work, but the result is completely satisfying. The photo above was shot at Pure Vision Studios using a Gary Fong Whale Tale light diffuser. I love this product. The light is soft and natural. It is so nice not to be using harsh, hot lights with the little people. They tend to get cranky.

No Photoshop Cs3 editing required with this photo. We liked the the soft, warm, natural richness and tone just the way it was.

And....ho ho ho he peed all over this lovely blanket shortly after this shot. The show was over.

Quikcamo Product Shoot

Every now and then Pure Vision Studios is introduced to a product that simply dazzles us with sheer genius. Well "Get Yer Game Face On" and check out Quikcamo.

Hunters will appreciate the "Health and Stealth" technology of this camo device. I personally am gave 2 of these bad boys for Christmas. We had a great time doing product shots for these guys and expect to see more (or is it less?) of them in the future.

Pure Vision Studios Launches Blogger

What is new at Pure Vision Studios? Blogs, spaces and faces. Portraits, product shots, mixed media art and the madness of the minions. Leopard, Lightroom, Photoshop CS3, the wonderful world of widgets and wondering if the powder will come again to our beloved mountain.

How did we learn before Wikipedia? How did we search for truth before Google? For the answers to this and many more questions, stay tuned. Coming up next ...info on our latest product shoot of the Redneck's Best Friend. Can it get any better than this?

Is there anybody out there? We intend to find out.
