A set of photos, one colour, every week.
We didn’t get a new colour this week, so I decided to go back and do a colour I had missed: pink! I was particularly excited for this one because of the Instagram account londonispink. If you’ve been following along on the blog, Instagram, or Snapchat, then you’ll know that I’ve been traveling, and this weekend I was in London, so I got a chance to do my own londonispink. When this post goes live, I’ll have arrived in Paris!
Lulu x Beside the Danube started a photography project two weeks ago, challenging herself to create a set of photos, one colour, every week. I love this photography challenge, because it’s creatively stimulating. I love that the theme of colour refocuses attention from things, which is what I often concentrate on when I’m doing photography. But as inspirational as this challenge was, I wasn’t sure if I would partake in it. I mean, I wanted to, but did I want to partake in it enough to give up being a lazy summer bum? It just so happened that I left the house this weekend (which is not a regular occurrence when I’m here in China, especially since we currently do not have a car (but will probably get our new car soon after we get back from our Europe trip)), so at least for this weekend, I’m participating in the challenge. We’ll see if I do this again next weekend!
Friend hired me to be her photographer for graduation! It was such a crazy day. I popped by Haverford’s graduation in the morning to say hi and bye to my seniors, left before the ceremony actually started so that I could make it to Bryn Mawr in time for my shoot with Friend, and left before the ceremony started so that I could catch my ride to begin my west coast road trip.
Before this photoshoot, I was shooting in the city with Kat (full blog post here). I had scheduled these shoots back to back on the same day because I just did not have any other time this month. Anyways, before the BMC class of 2018 spring photoshoot officially started, I wanted to warm up and experiment a bit with Kat. Yes, we had just spent the whole morning shooting together, but this was more about figuring out how to work with the environment rather than how to work with the model. I figured that the modeling for this shoot wouldn’t be too complicated or out-there-creative; it would probably mostly be people wanting profiles and pictures with friends.
I’ve been [lovingly?] teasing Kat about how she’s a walking Adidas ad. So when it came to an idea for this month’s photoshoot, we (I) thought it’d be a fun thing to do (an Adidas “ad”). We were going to have Jennifer join us for the shoot and do an Adidas vs. Nike (or some other athletic brand) “face-off.” I threw that idea out there randomly, mostly just to mess with them, but they were totally on board (except Jennifer had lab so couldn’t make it) (but it’s the thought that counts). They’re crazies for being my friends and I appreciate them very much.
It’s always exciting to meet other creatives. We get each other. We don’t need to apologise to each other when we want to stop in the middle of the street to snap a photo. Over spring break, I had the pleasure of collaborating with five Philly-based bloggers from the PHLbloggers group. I’ve chosen one photo from each shoot to share here and say a little something about, but you’ll have to go over to their blogs to check out the full posts with all the photos!
