An Image That is Outside of My Normal Genre.

I have decided to come clean, part of my brain cannot resist vacant lots, and failed businesses. Occasionally I can’t resist the desire to just pull over and set up an image. It has come time for me to start sharing those images with all of you. The following will be the first of many that will be released. Enjoy.

Its that moment, where there is nothing but passion in your soul, and the world disappears around you leaving you in a silent state of perfection un clouded by distraction… it is what i live for, it is creation. © 2011 James H Pickett

It Seems I Have Lost My MInd For A Moment…

JP — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 02:33:57 +0000

In the middle of writing tonight, I became the slightest bit distracted and decided to go digging through my images from a recent shoot with Molly “Fletchasketch” Fletcher. Coming across a few strobe firing mishaps I tripped over my mouse, hit my head and slipped into full digital artist mode for a few moments. This is the result. Feel free to e-mail your opinions, they are welcome.

Cover Images For Ursula of Switzerland Catalog.

JP — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 16:40:21 +0000

With every Ursula of Switzerland catalog shoot, we always do a few one light outdoor images for the cover of the catalog. By the time the day is done there is about 30 minutes to pull these images together, so a one light setup is usually the most efficient. These are a few of my favorites from the last shoot.

In casting a model for our Sept 10th and 11th Fine Art Nude Workshop series, There is always a need for a quick test shoot with the model before confirming. Lauren excels in front of the camera, and we can’t wait to see what images come out of the workshop!

Portfolio development with amatuer model Toni

I spent about three hours with Toni, using a very simple one light setup. She has a great attitude and a little glam flair, why fight it? A quick shoot in the models comfort zone resulted in some great images.

Portfolio Update

JP — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:24:10 +0000

Several months ago under suggestions from colleagues I made a decision to reconstruct my website. The intention was to start with the framework of the site and finish with the images but due to a hectic schedule, there has been a delay in finishing the project. Over the next few weeks I will be re-organizing and populating the site with new images, and adding to the blog regularly. Additions to the blog will include notes, thoughts, shoot highlights with amateurs and professionals, as well as some unexpected imagery. Welcome to the new web presence of James Pickett Photography.
