In Client shoots, Portrait, Story the Dress, Wedding, klm Photography on March 24, 2009 at 9:22 pmCan I just say after spending four days in Austin Texas in the air conditioning coming back to PA was a shock. It’s freezing!! I wore my winter coat including hat and gloves for my morning walk to the studio. Geez. During Mandy’s session we were sweating in the 86 degree, high noon, Texas sun. Enough weather talk I beat you want to hear about what “Story The Dress” is all about huh?!
First let me take a few steps back. Todd and I flew to Austin last Thursday to photograph the Gower/Whitaker destination wedding. Now, I have known Mandy since College, go AIP (Pittsburgh that is), and when Mandy called to tell me I’m getting married I said awesome! We’ll be there. I love when friends are also my clients!! Most of the time it’s clients who have become my friend, I’m not complaining, I love it! Mandy like myself attended AIP for Photography and made her way from Pittsburgh back to West Virginia to Austin Texas…..where she met a boy (ok, guy) on a blind date and wham they’re married. Oh and she’s going to school to become a teacher and her new husband is kick arse saving the environment. Hi Tommy.
A fun new type of shoot sessions came along a couple of years ago called Trash the Dress or Rock the Dress. This type of shooting was created/developed by an artistic genius named, John Michael Cooper. I absolutely LOVE JMC. I’ve studied with him twice and try to talk with him whenever I can. ****side note he’ll be in Lancaster on Thursday. Can’t wait!!*** John Michael is a true inspiration and mentor for me. He’s great for invoking all kinds of creative ideas and gets the artist thinking cap going. He’s truly a humble, caring man, that I have great respect for.
My TTD twist is called Story the Dress. I want to see my clients outside of the wedding environment with their dress. I want to see their personality come through while wearing their dress. Wear those crazy heals your mother gawked at. Chop your hair and put your dress back on. Make that dress a part of you, give it life, create it’s story. Don’t suffocate the dress in a bag right away. Let the dress speak, show it’s self off and stand proud. Make your dress a noun, give it an identity. Create a little monster, heck we can even name your dress! Just don’t lock it up in storage while it’s 15 minutes of fame wasn’t over….Story the Dress. Combined we’ll be it’s narrator.
Here is Amanda Gower (now Whitaker)’s Story the Dress, Austin Texas style.
The rest tomorrow…
Me and My Boys
In Uncategorized on March 10, 2009 at 8:08 pmMy boys aka Allen Clements and Joseph Krzeminski (stop by Suite 1002 and meet all of us!) have combined their forces to create a new business venture called Postage VFX. Check it out Postage here. I’ll try my best to explain what Postage is all about but seriously, check out their site. Visually, their demo explains itself way better than I can. Postage is your digital media one stop shop. They handle editing, animation and all of your video needs. You’ll be seeing more of their special talents via the new krisha martzall Photography site…coming soon….
What does every new business need??? Head shots for press and marketing, duh. First the good then the funny ones.
I wish you tons of luck and prosperity guys!
