Elliot's 21st Birthday: Lifestyle Portraits

You've seen him on the blog before. His name is Elliot, he's a great friend of mine, and he's turning 21 on December 10! He's going all out! He's getting a party bus, photographer (not me, because I'm enjoying the party), and everyone's dressing up like they're going to an award show! It's going to be so much fun!






We had a photo shoot yesterday for his birthday party promos and it was a successful one! The location was PERFECT! It was cold, but he was a trooper! The parking garage at my friend's apartment is grungy and it worked so well!


"I'mma A Diva, I'mma, I'mma A Diva" =)


Right when Elliot told me he wanted pictures for his birthday, I developed a theme instantly! The pictures are themed as the day after a crazy & wild party night! I tried to imagine what it would be like to have things trashed and random things just laying around. He grabbed random things and we just laid them all around the scenery! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures! It was such a fun photo shoot!

Personal Work

Not very often do I get the chance to work on my personal art work, but schooling helps me with that! My final for my digital photography class is coming up and the theme is "Modified Urban Landscapes." It's very specific and broad at the same time and it's been difficult for me to get inspired by the project.


I finally came up with a concept and it has evolved since then. This image is the first of the series! The background image is not mine, but the building is. Enjoy!
