Wacky Williams : Nikon Series - Image 5

I wanted to have some fun with another series, and started to think through all the things I'm passionate about.... well, photography was one of 3 at the top of my list, so I started brainstorming how I could make a series about photography..... tough one!  

Well, after not really coming up with anything, I started to break my photography passion down, to subjects, technique and gear....  I always photograph subjects, because that's photography mainly.... and technique would be used through out the process and hard to display, but I landed on gear, and started getting crazy images pop into my mind about using my kiddos, shrunk down and having fun among my gear. 

 I've been a Nikon user since 2006, and have acquired a grand amount of amazing gear.... so as images popped into my head, I quickly drew them out and found ways of using the Nikon gear as part of the main subject of the image.... after coming up with 7-10 ideas, we set up a shoot in my studio to start.... I used the basic 3 light set up, so I had options in case I didn't know exactly how I planned to make each image.  (which is usually the case)  

My kids rocked it, and for a piece of candy each, we had 9 images shot and done.  

Then comes the photoshop.  I wish I could say every composite works as I see it in my mind, but that's kinda what's cool about composites.... they don't!  But, most cases, I find BETTER ways, and it looks way cooler than my mind saw it!!!!  Now, I've had several complete fails... some where I can't salvage any part, and I lose motivation on the idea, and scrap it altogether. 

Over the next 8 weeks or so, I'm going to post one from the series each week, so keep watching until they all have been unveiled!  

Maybe I can talk Nikon into starting a movement of Photography of their gear as advertising and win out big.... LOL!  But seriously, how cool would that be? :) 

Enjoy

Kirk & Katie : 3.9.2018

Kirk & Katie's big day was snowy and gray right up until a few hours before their ceremony at Holland's City Vu Flats.  It was decorated fabulously and so elegantly!  It was a beautiful event to witness 2 families joining together.  They were surrounded by the support of their family and friends, and the weather seemed to light up just to celebrate with them!  Enjoy a few teasers of Kirk and Katie's big day!

Wacky Williams : Nikon Series - Image 2

I wanted to have some fun with another series, and started to think through all the things I'm passionate about.... well, photography was one of 3 at the top of my list, so I started brainstorming how I could make a series about photography..... tough one!

I had previously done an image of Cadence walking through a 'Lens Forest' and decided to build on that, with that being the first image of this series.... kinda cheating, but it was AHW-some!
