I think it is safe to say that I have been shying away from studio work for far too long. So if I want to continue to shoot throughout the year, this means I need to have options. As to how I am going to use this option is still yet to be determined.
Always up for a challenge, I have been refining my studio set up in preparation for the best of the Seattle winter.
My friends are so good to me. Melissa graciously volunteered to model for me. Gracie, who was originally supposed to be on the sidelines, was having none of that as she is quite used to being front and center. The studio set up isn’t near where I want it to be, but I’m confident I’ll get there. It just takes practice (and willing models).
Here are a few shots of Gracie + Melissa







Hey erin,
sorry to comment on an old blog entry but I was curious to which (if any) actions you use?
thanks :)
The first shot is fantastic! Well done!
this serious is my absolute most favorite i have seen of yours. i love the cool shoes, the quirky crops and the amazing big dog feet. love love love them! could not even try to pick a favorite.
These look great! I’m also curious about your studio setup.
Hey Erin… can you do a post on what you use in your studio. Lights, backdrops, any tips. Sort of a ‘What’s in Erin’s studio’ instead of ‘gear bag’! Would love to see it all! Great experimenting & compositions. Love the first image!
I really love your photography, the composition of the image and color are always fabulous. I’m an amatuer photographer just now starting to try and use my skills for images other people want. I have always wanted to work with animals, hopefully one day I’ll see that dream come true.
I absolutely LOVE the first shot. It’s going in my list of favorites. Love her shoes, too!
seriously…i love all of them!! and i love her shoes AND her jeans!!! please pass along! thank you =)
my favorites are the second and last, just like Bonnie…I just love the “through the legs” shot of #2
I LOVE that first shot. Too perfect!!
i looove her shoes!! my favorite is the black and white image.
hmm. indeed it does appear that Gracie was doing her best to upstage everyone. :-)
LOVING the second one and the last one.
