Film Noir

Posted by Chris H. on February 24, 2010

I spent a long day in the studio yesterday doing some stock and portrait work and ended the day by having some fun with my friend Kalynne and a new acquaintance, Toby.  I have a lot of editing yet to do on the hundreds of images we made, but here is a quick look at one.  Toby has a gun in his hand (don’t worry – it was a mock Beretta) and many of the images have the gun in frame, which obviously gives the photograph a much more ominous feel.  And this one, with the sharp contrast between the light and dark sections of the image, could be seen the same way.  But to me, it also has a sense of longing or even heartbreak.  I’m not sure, though.  What do you think?

I spent part of the day on Saturday at a lighting workshop in Phoenix and had the opportunity to photograph these two beautiful models. Meet Gwen and Ginalyn.

Lady in White – Arizona Portrait Photographer

Posted by Chris H. on September 22, 2009

I recently did the first of the shoots for a new series of photographs I’m producing for my portfolio. I persuaded the ever game Kalynne to come out at dawn for that shoot and after we finished, spent another half an hour with her shooting some fun images near one of the ubiquitous irrigation canals in Phoenix. I’m keeping the images from the first part of the shoot under wraps for the time being, but here are a few from Part II.

ASU Runway Show – Arizona Event Photographer

Posted by Chris H. on August 24, 2009

I recently was invited by Celestial Williams, a talented Phoenix-based make-up artist, to shoot one of the prelude shows for the upcoming Phoenix Fashion Week, of which she is also an organizer.  The show – which was held at Arizona State University’s student rec complex in front of a large, rambunctious crowd of students who had just returned from summer vacation – featured designs by a number of up and coming Phoenix clothing designers.  Here are a few of the images:

Soaking Wet – Arizona Portrait Photographer

Posted by Chris H. on July 1, 2009

A while ago I had an idea about a water image I wanted to make, but either the weather hasn’t cooperated or I have been too busy to set it up.  Recently, however, I got a call from a friend who needed a couple of swimsuit shots for the agency that represents her.  After we got the shots she needed, she agreed to indulge me for a few minutes.  Here are a couple of the resulting images:

Night Moves – Arizona Portrait Photographer

Posted by Chris H. on May 2, 2009

Shooting at night can be tricky, particularly if you’re trying to photograph something that wants to move.  Luckily, my friend Kalynne, who is both lovely and fun to work with, was great at holding stock still while we tested a new location I recently discovered. Here are a couple of the images we made:

Had a quick shoot over the weekend at this annual fundraiser for Xavier Prep, one of the premier girls prep schools in Phoenix.
