The Golden Hour of Bloom

Recently I had the good fortune of working with Dylan again, this time as a Sponsored Model! I split the proceeds with the model (who just had to put his car in the shop) so the timing couldn't have been better! Big thank you to Paul for his generous sponsorship.

If you're interested in sponsoring your own model:

If you're interested in PARTIALLY sponsoring a model:

Sponsorships help me continue working when Bookings are slow, so I really appreciate them!

READY TO SEE SOME GOLDEN HOUR ART?

We timed the shoot to finish up just around the time the sun was setting. Did you know that there is a roughly a half hour period known as "Golden Hour", 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night? Well this art is inspired by the life that blooms during the "Golden Hour".

We photographed in the studio AND in my bedroom which I partially redecorated for my new series "BLOOM". I can't wait for you to see some of these photos!

I haven't even mentioned the hat! HERE IT IS! I made it just for this photoshoot. What do you think of it in action?

Count on my trusty 35mm lens to deliver a nice portrait shot!

The post is getting near the end, but the photo above is quite exquisite! Those are REAL flowers he's holding. The flower shop really liked the color story I was creating.

What did you think? Ready to see more?

I edited 20+ photos so far from this shoot. IT WAS THAT GOOD. Plus I broke out some of my lenses that had been seriously neglected, cleaned them, and used them for the shoot!

I'm feeling a little more confident this month! I still would like more paid bookings, but I'm hoping a few sponsorships and some momentum will help me knock this series out of the park. Thank you SO MUCH for your support on here. It means a lot (like pretty much everything) so you're amazing to do so!

Love + Art

P.S. Sorry for the late night post, but as I mentioned, I got into an editing tunnel and 20 pictures later, I'm coming out of it! EEK haha. I have FOUR paintings scheduled this week, with a surprise one I just finished today. You're in for some treats!
