Lloyd K. Barnes Photography

Last week I did a couple studio shoots – the first was with model Michelle Green and makeup artist Tessa Mitz with blue and green dripping paint. It was tough keeping it under control during the shoot, but we managed and have some cool shots as a result! I also did another shoot for the black light series - this time it was a cirque theme with two models and makeup/body painting by Meghan Thomas. I'll be editing and posting shots from both of these in the next few weeks. I also bought a new lens on eBay and it arrived last week so of course I had to try it out right away. It worked great and I used it in both shoots. For the photographer techie fans - I shoot Olympus and it was the 12-60 mm f/2.8 ED lens

I am currently editing photos of very cool makeup work by Jenny Ruth and model Kaitlin Sullivan and will be posting them on my Facebook page and Flickr this week, so keep an eye out for them.

I'm very excited about a shoot that I'll be doing next week featuring the Inca inspired fashion designs of Ana Jost. I received many replies from models to participate in the shoot and it will be tough to decide!

Jennifer, a beautiful and talented model who I worked with earlier this year, is a semifinalist for the Maxim Hometown Hotties contest - so check out her page and vote!  I can vouch that she is hot - check for yourself here.  You can vote once a day! Also model Priya is running for Miss BC and you can support her by voting at here. Good luck to Jennifer and Priya!
