Spangled Fashion Bridal Portrait Session

Hey everybody!<br /><br />During Chelsey's cinemagraph shoot recently, we also shot a few images, and I LOOOOVE the way <a href="http://store.dropitmodern.com/spangled-p/sp.htm">Spangled</a> looks (yep, that's the backdrop's name!) - we shot it a few different ways to see how versatile it is. Pretty cool? I think so!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/00_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/00_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/08_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/08_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/09_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/09_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 533px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/07_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/0116_chelsey/07_Benfield_Spangled.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 1200px;" /></a><br /><br />Talk to you soon,<br />Dale

Wedding Bridal Cinemagraph

Hey everybody!<br /><br />I think it's important for photographers to continue to push themselves to be better, go farther, and try new things. Lately, as you've seen from the blog, I've been working on Cinemagraphs, a sort of "moving pictures" - and I love the feel of the final product. Most recently, Mere and I set up a wedding bridal cinemagraph with Chelsey, our lovely employee and recent bride. Here's one of the final cinemagraphs. BTW, this is another shoot with the fabulous new backdrop, Spangled, from dropitMODERN. Check <a href="http://store.dropitmodern.com/?Click=3160">Drop It Modern's site here</a>!<br /><br />Look... the backdrop moves! Cool right?<br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/bride_cinemagraph.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/bride_cinemagraph.gif" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 389px;" /></a><br /><br />And some hair swooshie. :)<br /><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/bridal_wedding_cinemagraph.gif" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/12Blog/bridal_wedding_cinemagraph.gif" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 519px;" /></a><br /><br />Talk to you soon,<br />Dale
