Big studio quality at a small studio price.

Sunrise or Sunset

Today I bring you two captivating photos.

The question is…what are they of? Sunrise or sunset?

The order in which the photos have been posted may or may not have been switched…so you tell me: is this a sunrise or sunset?

Free Themed Photoshoot

First, I’d like to extend a big thank you to those that have participated in the free sessions I’ve been offering! Your participation is much appreciated!

If you didn’t get a chance to participate, you’re in luck…I’m still looking for a few participants for a themed photoshoot:

The theme for this photoshoot is “Going Through the Motions”. Here’s what I need:

  • 4-8 young adults

The aim for this photoshoot is to tell a story. Starting with the depression and sadness of just “going through the motions” moving to perseverance and preservation, on to a revelation or epiphany, and finally to success, joy, zeal, and confidence in “giving all you’ve got” to something. The final result may be included in a PowerPoint presentation with an initial audience of 700+ with potential viewing audiences numbering in the thousands.

I’ll be taking appointments for this session up until October 7, 2011. Please contact me if you are interested!

Free, free, free!

Hello all!

I have new and exciting opportunities available! Active opportunities are black, while inactive opportunities are grey.

I am currently looking for two group of individuals willing to participate in free themed photoshoots.

The first themed photoshoot is “Holiday”. Here’s what I need:

  • Adult in Santa costume
  • Adult in Scarecrow or Ghost costume
  • Adult in Father Time (with scythe) costume
  • Child in Easter Bunny costume
  • Child in Cupid costume

The aim for this photoshoot is to create an image of the various figures around a boiling caldron or fire. Although masked, body language should suggest surprise and even embarrassment that all of these characters are meeting at the same time! The final result may be published on the cover of a Christian magazine. If you would be willing to help, please contact me immediately!

The second themed photoshoot is “Going through the Motions”. Here’s what I need:

  • A group (8-10) of young adults

The aim for this photoshoot is to tell a story. Starting with the depression and sadness of just getting by, moving toward perseverance and preservation, on to a revelation or epiphany, and finally to success, joy, zeal, and confidence in “giving all you’ve got” to something. The final result may be included in a PowerPoint presentation with an initial audience of 700+ with potential viewing audiences numbering in the thousands. If you would be willing to help, please contact me immediately!

Thank you all for your interest in WSP! I hope to be hearing from you soon regarding these wonderful opportunities!

Horicon Marsh – Nature at its Finest

Recently, a great photographer and friend of mine and I went to Horicon Marsh.

We witnessed some incredible things! It’s truly astounding what you can find in nature.

On this trip, I witnessed things I’ve never seen in all my experience camping and being outdoors. I was impressed!
