Melissa Douglas. Fingerprints Photography. 2013.

Melissa Douglas, a much loved subject of mine, volunteered to do some portfolio work for me in early June. The beautiful teen chose to do her shoot on Tower Road Beach, in the Northshore around the Chicagoland area. We worked to combine natural lighting during golden hour to create warm photos embody the qualities of most beauty beach shots. Melissa fourth shoot with me, the young beauty has come quite a long way in her modeling abilities and it was a pleasure to work with her as always. It is my goal to help her become supermodel ready, and work with Victoria Secret in the future. With the amount of fashion shoots we do, I have no doubt we will be able to reach this goal. Shooting again after my extended break since Australia was certainly a joy, and the warm weather was a wonderful bonus. There will be much more shoots with Melissa as the summer continues, check out the rest of her photos from this shoot below!

Kelly Douglas. Fingerprints Photography. 2013

In her third time modeling for Fingerprints, Kelly Douglas did a phenomenal job incorporating her simple beauty with elegance, and achieved combining it with the soft lighting and serenity of nature. Photographed at Willmette Beach, in the Chicagoland's Northshore, in early June, 2013, the young teen proved that her academic smarts were not her only great attributes. Working not only in a forest and greenery setting, we also worked on the beach, testing her versatile abilities with using the same look throughout different locations and adapting to her surroundings. Kelly nailed each one, embodying a soft and sweet nature resembling a majestic creature in her nature photos, while going back to the basics of modeling throughout her beach photos. Kelly's ability to easily adapt and succeed in bringing to the table what the photographer is asking of her makes her a joy to shoot and brings many beautiful images to ultimately pick from.  While modeling may not be Ms. Douglas' future dream, she radiates a natural beauty inside and out, which is not only wonderful, but an honor to capture. I love working with her, and hope to continue to do so through out the rest of the summer months.

Morgan Etienne. Fingerprints Photography. 2013.

Model: Morgan Etienne

My first time shooting after returning from Australia, I threw my best friend, Morgan Etienne, in the bathroom to do her hair and makeup and take her to the beach to get back in the photography saddle. Huge curls and loads of makeup later, we ventured out to Tower Road Beach and played in the rock formation that entered into the water. What was supposed to be a shoot that resembled a mermaid, and was supposed to use materials to try and create different wind affects, we ended up just having a portrait session. Morgan, with her stunning green eyes, shined through with simplistic poses showing off her beauty while molding into the rocks to become one with the scenery yet still stand out. The shoot was mostly just for practice and fun, and with many silly memories was over all a great day :)

James McEnery. Brisbane, Australia. 2013. Actor.

After the posting the initial photos, I had some work to do with different themes and graphics, so I re-shopped some of actor James McEnery's photos. I ended up liking the toning I chose to do for these better then the originals, enjoying the blue and purple hues which gave it a more mysterious and colorful look. I also liked the vibrance added to the second head shot I redid which I thought the new color tone also added a much more appealing look to the photo.

The talented and gorgeous twenty three year old Brad Pitt/Leonardo DiCaprio cross lookalike, recently completed the One-year Acting for Film at the New York Film Academy Australia, and is currently auditioning and working on his career. I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with such a willing and talented model and wish him luck on his future endeavors!
