Images of the Day-The real seat of power.
I'm going to allow my more liberal political side show through along with these photos of the day, and say that I believe that women should have the right to decide for themselves what is best for themselves and their own bodies. If a woman is in a relationship, I would hope that she would include her partner in making decisions that affect both of them. If she is assaulted, she should have the sole decision making power as to the course of action that is best for her own life. I don't believe that the government should be interfering with the personal health decisions of its citizens. The women I know and who have worked with me to create my photographs are all intelligent, beautiful, strong, powerful people, who are capable of making their own decisions, and I think they are most definitely a representative sample of all women. These photos were shot in 2010, while I was in photography school. The model is Tiana. Hope you enjoy!

Nightvisions, November 2009
In keeping with digging out good material from old archives, here is another one. This set, featuring Elisabeth, was shot in November 2009.
A new photography event surfaced in 2009, FotoWeek DC. This week-long festival is designed to feature photography throughout the art galleries and in other venues throughout the District. One of the events that debuted that week, was called Nightvisions. The concept is, everybody meets and checks in at a central location gallery for a cocktail, then the participants grab their cameras and head out into the city to take photographs for a few hours. Around 2 am, everybody heads back to the gallery and uploads 10 images for a panel of jurors to review. The panel chooses 1 image to print in 12x18 format that will hang in the gallery for the remainder of the FotoWeek event. This year, the event was being held the evening of Nov 7th into the morning of Nov 8th, which happens to be my birthday.
I invited my friend Carly, her boyfriend (at the time) Joao, my friend Elisabeth who was willing to model for me during the evening, and one of Joao's friends to join me in running amok in DC for the evening. Being primarily a fine art nude photographer, and Elisabeth being one of the better fine art nude models in the DC area, we felt it was our duty to create some fine art nude photography to contribute and hopefully enhance the artistic value of the image gallery.
So off we went to start the evening.
Being early November, it was a bit on the chilly side, and as you can see, we were pretty well equipped for keeping warm. We started the evening at the gallery as planned, then headed out for another drink before we really started photographing things in earnest. But I still couldn't resist shooting a few "city scenes" and things that caught my eye on the way out, like a miniature Russian car parked in front of the Spy Museum.
After a couple of beers, it was time to get to work. We chose 3 locations for our fine art nude sets. DC is a major city, and so we had to choose our locations fairly carefully, and shoot "guerrilla" style, so as to not end up having to explain why Elisabeth was running around without any clothes on in the chilly air of a November evening.
Our first location was a water fountain that is located just in front of the Capital building.
This was a beautiful architectural piece to work with and we spent about 15 minutes working there before moving towards the reflecting pool where there is a nice monument, and which wasn't right on the street. I think these are my favorites of the evening.
After finishing up there, Elisabeth was getting pretty chilled so we decided to move to another location. We lost one member of our party (Joao's friend) when Elisabeth made a joke that employed some, well, let's say "uncouth language." So we had to detour back to her hotel to drop her off. Anyway, onward and upward for the rest of us. Literally.
The last nude location that we shot was on the grounds of the National Cathedral, which sits up on one of the highest points in DC. I know, some folks out there will undoubtedly be appalled that we were photographing nudes on the grounds of a church, but I was taught that man was created in the image of God. I don't think he would mind our showcasing one of his creations in conjunction with a building erected in His honor. In any case, we were discreet and quick and got some good images there before the cold air drove us back into the car.
So, off we went again. By this time it was about 1:30 am (Happy Birthday to ME!!!) and we were all ready to find some food. DC is a big city, but sometimes it is a challenge to find a food place that is open at that time of the night. We ended up at the Johnny Rocket's in Georgetown, which was conveniently located right across the street from the gallery. Just for fun, I snapped a couple of photos while we were eating our fries, then we headed over to the gallery to get my images uploaded. Most of my image submissions were nudes, but I did include a couple of other shots from the evening, including this one from Johnny Rocket's which was the 4th to last image I shot that night.
I'll give you one guess which image they chose to print and hang for the show. I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the shot in the elevator. Give up? Yep, the shot from Johnny Rocket's. So much for getting nude art into the show. Oh well. I had a great time with some very good friends and it was a very fun event that I've tried to do every year since. As always, hope you enjoyed the images. Oh, and in case you've forgotten, prints are available.

Another "Lost" photo shoot: Vassanta
It's one of the funny things about life: You're looking for something in whatever box, shelf, cupboard, or file that you're rummaging through and all of a sudden you find it! No, not the thing you were looking for, but something else that you had totally forgotten about, and it's totally bitching! Instantly the search for the original item is abandoned in favor of re-discovering whatever shiny bauble you have stumbled across. Well, that happened to me today, rummaging through one of my hard drives, looking for landscapes for a client, and suddenly I found it! A photo shoot with Vassanta that I did back in November 2008 that I hadn't even touched (from a processing standpoint.) So out the window went my quest for pretty landscapes, and I immediately began pulling out some images to process from that long ago photo shoot.
The setting for the shoot isn't one of my beautiful outdoor locations, but rather the attic and basement in my townhouse. I have used the attic space as a studio for several sessions, and I have occasionally set up in the basement for doing light-painting, alternative light sources, and long exposure work. The downside of using my attic is that all of the shoots I have done there are very similar. The upside of working in the complete darkness of the basement is that it does help conceal the fact that I'm shooting in the basement. In any case, I pulled out 9 images from the basement that I thought were interesting, and 1 from the attic that I felt was worthy of inclusion in this posting (in spite of my own feelings of redundancy in the location,) and present them for you now.
As always, I hope you have enjoyed the images! Tyler
