This is Harriette she’s a squirrel that was found at my friends house. We are all trying to do our best to make sure this little baby goes up healthy and strong. She’s about 9 weeks old from what we have read up on squirrels. This is day two and she’s just started eating. She’s a sweet heart loves to cuddle and coo. Every little creature deserves compassion and love! I’m already grown attached to her. Funny how littlest animals like a squirrel could bring happy-ness to your day.

If you’re on a budget and need a decent light source for portraits, there’s a DIY “Ice Light” that produces quality results for the price. The setup is built around an LED flashlight that’s hovering at only 12 bucks on Amazon.

After that, a single piece of white pipe is used as a flash diffuser. Pretty nifty, right?

If you wanted to take someone’s picture, you wouldn’t do it with your camera hanging out of a moving car, but that’s exactly how Johnny Tergo, takes his.

To accomplish this, he built a custom camera mount and lighting setup in the passenger seat of his truck. He writes:

What I’ve tried to do is bring the studio lighting aspect to everyday real life on the streets.

Went out today with my camera, Had a blast walking around in the wood spotted (no joke) about 40-50 deer plus a coyote and of course there was a deer skull found by Jon’s Dad! Took these little family portraits Kola & I , Henry & Jon. Dogs had a blast running around chasing deer. Henry took off after a herd of deer and was running along side of them it was pretty awesome but pretty scary. All & All great sunday funday

This week is coming to an end and hope my good luck streak would conti. I had the great opportunity to meet with 5 very creative people from a well known studio / company. Had a great interview with them and showed them my book. They loved it so much they had everyone that was around to come and look at it. They really enjoyed looking at it and said it was fresh and clean :). Also had photographer ask if I could assist on a job and after the job told me my website was awesome and they loved my dead deer photo ! Which makes me soo happy. One main thing I have learned since being out of school is create work your happy with don’t conform to what other people think you should conform to!!!!!

Cerise Doucede’s series Égarements features candid portraits with a bit of a twist. The images are frozen moments in time, but what makes them special is the apparent lack of gravity.

In each photo, the subjects remain anchored to the ground while everything else floats away. To see more from this fascinating series, follow the link below.
