So if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you might know that I started a podcast a couple months ago, primarily with Wayne Wise and Katya Gorecki (but also a rotating cast of other people) devoted to pop culture. VoxPopcast (or Vox Populorum… we gave it two names, but everyone seems to be focusing…
A few months ago, I saw a series of portrait sets by Marcos Alberti. He had people come in and drink alcohol and get progressively drunker and took a photo after every drink. I thought the idea was kind of awesome and I wanted to put my own spin on it. Last month, Theresa was…
Once upon a time I used to take lots and lots of pictures. It was something I really enjoyed. I still really enjoy it but I don’t have as much time anymore. Brooke came to me and said she had an idea she wanted to try though. She was looking to do some cool shots…
Another con has come and gone and I am exhausted as always. Thanks to Max and Steph for all the help. Anyway, just like yesterday, we did some cosplay photos in our booth and I thought I’d share them here. The Imperial Stormtrooper probably requires some explanation. He came by the booth and was excited…
Max, Steph and I went out to West Virginia to work at WVPopCon 2017. In addition to selling the comic book, I decided to also run a cosplay photo booth: Quick edits of cosplayers where I photoshop them onto covers or into scenes that make sense for their character. Here are some of the shots…
I went out to do some late night photography of the full moon with my friend Hanna the other day. Mostly because I wanted to play with my 500mm lens, and what else are you going to do at 4am? SaveSave
This is a weird thing that keeps showing up in my feed even though I know that it came out over a year ago. But every time it comes up, I look at it and say… I want to do this!!! It’s a series from Marcos Alberti. He calls it “The Wine Project” and it’s fucking…
Once upon a time I used to take photos regularly. Then grad school happened. It turns out grad school is not terribly conducive to free time for side careers. Whodathunk, right? Anyway, I was contacted by the lovely and talented Chelsey to shoot some promo photos for her hula hooping performance art business. And like if you’re…
Way back when I started teaching my Sex, Violence and Comics class, the students actually requested a class focusing on cosplay. Then a couple days ago I asked for people’s thoughts on the homework that I’d be giving for that class. We did it on Halloween. Some people asked if I could share some of…
So, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, a couple of my students requested that we have a lesson on costumes and cosplay on Halloween. Since that’s theoretically a lot of the research I’m doing for my dissertation and because frankly it just sounded fun, I agreed. Now I’m putting together that assignment and lesson plan.…
I started the PCA/ACA paper I did last year with an anecdote about a little girl that I met at Baltimore Comicon a couple years ago. She was three years old and dressed as Harley Quinn. Here’s an excerpt from the story: In September of 2012, while attending Baltimore Comic Con, I met a three-year-old…
I take pictures. Sometimes I even take pictures of people that aren’t half-naked models. This weekend was one of those times. This weekend I shot family portraits for the Eatons. It was fun and got some good stuff. Here are some of my favorites.
Didn’t feel like sleeping tonight (what else is new) so I decided to edit the last of my photosets of April until five in the morning… I do it for you people! You’re welcome. And yes, I know the first two really don’t go with there rest of the set. That was for a slightly different…
Yet another set from the photoshoot with April (that day was a long shoot… I still have more to do). This one was at a location of her choosing, and I think turned out a lot of fun. I love shooting sunsets…. if only that girl in the bikini wasn’t in the way. Oh well, They…
I’ll never forget the first time I met April. I was set to go to a group photoshoot, and one of the models on the list wrote me and told me she had an idea for a sexy lingerie shoot. We talked on IM where she explained the lingerie she wanted to use, how there…
