Foto Friday: Children!

Friday, July 17, 2009       •       3 Comments

I love to photograph anything really.

People
Landscape
Apples
Vegetables
Animals
Lampposts
Cars.. ok maybe not cars.

But among ALL the different things I love to photograph I love kids best. Why? Because they are a boundless amount of cuteness! See for yourself!

Trespassing

Friday, July 10, 2009       •       2 Comments

I asked a funny question today on Twitter: If you saw me in a police car getting arrested what would you think my crime was?

Alea guessed trespassing for a photo.
Ironic that she should say that because some photographers are notorious for it. The thing is some of the best photos exist in places that no one is allowed to tread. Places that are fresh and new and that has yet to be seen.

So here’s three pictures from a shoot I did… where I did trespass.

Grass Daze

Dance Ma Darling

And my header too!!! Can you tell I love fields of tall wheaty grass?

What I do when I’m bored.

When I am bored I grab a friend. Grab my camera. A few outfits. Pick a location and SHOOT some pictures.

Yesterday I decided to grab my friend Sarah and see what mischief we’ll get in. Hence the fountain…. yeah!

I set up Shop!

Saturday, July 4, 2009       •       1 Comment

As I do these mini shoots I see that many have shown interest in the pictures. I love to do these book photo shoots and at the same time make them available to you. So I have set up an online store where you can buy prints from shoots like Prophecy of the Sisters or Eyes Like Stars and even Beautiful Creatures later.

Here’s the thing… depending on how this goes as time goes on I will add more prints. Not only that but I will be shooting more. If there’s any prints you would like to see in the shop let me know.

Buying prints will help me fund more of these shoots and I make them even better. Because there’s nothing cooler than seeing your book come to life.

So check out Vania’s Life Captures Online Store for more details.

Eyes Like Stars’ Fairy and ME

I decided to kidnap a fairy from Eyes Like Stars by the brilliant Lisa Mantchev and take this lovely fairy for a treat. Yummy cake and ice cream and two hours later we had sweet candy coated pictures.
