IN-FOCUS Photography Day

On Monday our studio hosted our first IN-FOCUS Photography Day! Five photographers (not all from IN-FOCUS), six models of all ages and one videographer set out into Milwaukee's Third Ward for a unique photography session. The photographers spent the afternoon expanding their horizons with models and working together to capture the perfect image. This event was a great learning experience, a great way to get inspired and allowed everyone to show off their different style. The results from this event are amazing. We have so many great images that it was hard to pick just a few for our blog. Our videographer, Daniel, was along for the ride and will be posting a video on our web site soon! We plan to host another IN-FOCUS Photography Day in the future, so contact us if you are interested in modeling.

Here's what Craig had to say:

It's hard to believe how fast normal people can transform from ordinary punk rockers, ordinary young girls, and an old guy with too many different hats into "models" just by placing them directly in front of a camera with a professional behind the lens. I saw it with my own eyes and was part of it. I saw Tegan go through so many beautiful facial expressions while throwing her hair back. I saw the tattoo punk guy grind his fist into the palm of his other hand while flashing a face that could scare anyone! I watched a long hair punk guy toss his twisted braids from one direction to another just to satisfy the professional behind the camera who was urging him on. I witnessed two beautiful young ladies who were so willing to stand in the cold and wind in short skirts while attempting to "strike the pose" that would satisfy the photographer behind the lens. And to think all these "models" were doing all of this great posing in between shivering from the cold wind, jumping in and out of the car for warmth and being watched and stared at by strangers with strangers walking through the alleys.

There is no doubt in my mind that this was probably one of the best group of models ever assembled to take on such a great unscripted photo shoot. Both the photographers and the models were professionals that day. Not trying to blow my own horn, but myself included, WE WERE GREAT! By the end of the photo shoot, I was proud to have met each and every one of them and I'd love to "model" with them again any time. As different as we are, we all came together for a wonderful day of photography and modeling. Thank you my friends, all of you, including the new ones I made during this fantastic photo shoot.

I had a killer day shooting will all the people from IN-FOCUS Photography. Thanks to all involved - such a cool bunch of people that made me feel right a home.
