The last weekend we did another day of paint portraits. Joe and I decided we wanted to do it too. So here are our portraits. This was so much fun and the final images are so amazing. We are so happy with the results. I have a lot of crazy ideas and hopefully I will be doing many more creative shoots this summer. These shoots are great not only for the sheer fun of it but creating and learning new techniques to give our clients artistic and unique elements to add to their portrait sessions. The paint session can be incorporated in a family or engagement session and even an add on to a senior portrait.
First is a portrait of me, Heather Moore. Second is a portrait of Joe Artley. We are the photographers of Moore-Art Photography.

Meet Katie. She is our Senior Ambassador for Ridgefield High School Class of 2014. I can't believe Katie is going to be a senior next year. I have been photographing her and her family for 8 years now. As I was driving down to Ridgefield to shoot her senior rep photo session I was worried the rain wouldn't stop but it cleared up and we got some gorgeous photos.
Not your ordinary paint party here. I wanted to do something really colorful and fun, so I purchased these amazing powder paints from India. They are the traditional Holi Festival powders and the colors are spectacular. First we did the light test throwing flour on Joe. It kind of works with his skull shirt. The flour looked cool but we couldn't wait to try out the colored powders. We set up the lights and painter tarps in the backyard and invited a few of our bravest friends over for a fun and messy shoot. This was so much fun and we all loved the results.
What do you think? Is this something you would want as an option for an engagement portrait session or even a senior portrait.

Cleaning up with the shop vac. Q-tips and wash cloths were also on hand.
Meet Shadow and Midnight. They are the beautiful and sweet girls of Sara Gingerich 'Dog Trainer Extraordinaire'. The entire photo shoot was on the modern white background. I love shooting on white because it's clean, modern but timeless and allows the subjects to shine but I wanted to see if I could get a different look from the same image. In my mind I thought of something Low Key (Dark) and with a vintage style. So I took the background from white to black, increased highlights in the fur, and added an old photo plate border with a texture, to give it the extra aged look.
I love the final artistic creation. More than that I love being able to create two different styles from the same shoot to give the client more options without scheduling two sessions or set changes. What do you think of the images? To view more of our Dog and Pet Portraits
