Self Portraits

I don't know if I can emphasize this adequately... The best light in the world is hiding in my bathroom.

The above photo is shot with the shower door as a backdrop. My camera is on my tripod and the tripod is straddling the toilet.

Below the backlit images are shot with me sitting on the floor. 

Linda

Part of my work includes collaborating with custom dress designer, Lana Gerimovich, who owns Alis Fashion Design in Scottsdale, AZ.

I had the pleasure of photographing Linda in her two custom gowns made by Lana. She has such piercing eyes.

Mextures

We all know I love using Mextures to edit my photos (I'm even featured at the bottom of their homepage). Here's a progression of three images:

1) Straight out of camera

2) After Photoshop

3) After Mextures

In exactly 29 days I will be in Hawaii with Ashley my Hawaiian ex roommate from my time in Rome. I hope my hair can compete with hers by the time I get there. You'll see what I mean.

Oh and last thing... I have changed my instagram handle @emilyjoyphotos.

Neutrals

I just need to brag about finding this top and skirt for $10 each at Forever 21. I never wear beige. I'm now obsessed with beige.
