TREVOR & AMY :: MOST UNUSUAL ENGAGEMENT PORTRAITS

davidejackson — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:14:20 +0000

My late night blog purge is coming to an end, now that my sites are up, alive, healthy and de-hacked. I’m excited to be shooting Trevor (my studio manager) and Amy’s wedding in the afternoon. I’m so happy for these guys. And even more stoked my daughter Tobin is taking part in the wedding. Below are some shots from their engagement session from last week. Not your typical photos for an engagement shoot, but this was the result of the way our minds work.

Enjoy!

MURDER BY DEATH (and mewithoutYou)

davidejackson — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:05:20 +0000

I had the extreme pleasure of shooting one of my all-time favorite bands, Murder By Death. We were given 5 minutes to shoot some promo shots of the band, and I think I ended up pushing it to the 7 minute mark. We shot these in the “bell tower” of Turner Hall in Milwaukee, about 30 minutes before they took the stage. We searched the entire venue for a suitable location and came up empty until we were allowed into the tower. That’s where we found an immense stack of burned-up chairs. And if I was to estimate the temperature up there, I’d have to say it was about 110 degrees. Yes. We worked fast. Very fast. And I think I lost 5 additional pounds on my current weight-loss plan. Win-Win.

Here are two shots we walked away with..

Some shots from Murder By Death’s set:

“BREAKING THE RULES” WORKSHOP :: 7.26.10

davidejackson — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:03:39 +0000

Our fourth installment of the “Breaking The Rules” Portrait Workshop hit the 16-hour mark yesterday, leaving all 10 attendees with fried brains and bags under their eyes. We had a great day and shared so much with each other. Big thanks go out to our models Kristine, Will and Rae. Yep, even Rae got in on the action! Below are some photos I shot during the hands-on shooting in the afternoon..

A special thanks to all the attendees who made the trek and stuck with us the entire day to learn!

And our awesome group. This was shot at hour 15. It sorta shows the exhausting day we had..

(Really, we had fun. This look was intentional!)
