When a photographer mentions he belongs to a local Ford Mustang enthusiast group whose members are always keen for good-looking photographs of their cars and asks if you'd like to host a group shoot featuring some of them, you say YES.

Here are some highlights, but I'll post some separately too. Because...Mustangs.

Lighting the Scene

The exact setup changed a little based on the situation because the cars stayed put. I had a single speed light in a 43-inch umbrella softbox on a stand with a sandbag and would move it around to fill in the harsh shadows cast by the sunlight, which I put to the models' backs whenever I could.

In situations where I couldn't put the sun at his or her back, I placed the softbox between the model's face and the sun to create a shadow and "replaced" the sunlight.

The Lonely Flower, with Kollene Snow | Salt Lake Conceptual Portrait Photographer

Have you ever been stuck trying think of an idea, and then all of a sudden a tiny, fragile glimpse of something appears? In those moments I just want to grab it and hold on so it can't get away, but if you don't let it breathe, that poor little idea gets squished. I wanted this photo shoot with Kollene Snow to illustrate that idea. Like a lonely flower that blooms, sometimes unexpected ideas lead the way to the next one.

I am no bird | salt lake city utah conceptual portrait photographer

Model: Jesyka Dereta Makeup & Styling: Jesyka Dereta Wardrobe, Prop & Calligraphy: Wendy Hurst Photography: Wendy Hurst Portrait Sometimes when I don't know something, like what to call an image or series, I identify what it's not. Doing so lends inspiration and actually yields titles that resonate with me most often. For this reason a quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte recently stuck in my mind. "I am no bird; no net ensnares me." I also remembered a behind the scenes YouTube video by fashion photographer Joan Allen that I found by accident years ago of a shoot using calligraphy on the skin to add a dimension of edgy elegance. Combine that with a kick I've been on about oversized objects and I knew what I wanted to do. Months ago I draped my dress form, Maggie, with yards of purple cloth I picked up secondhand for a different photo shoot. The shoot turned out okay but didn't fully captured the potential I saw in that &quo
