So what do you do when you finally get everyone’s schedules to coincide for a portrait session, and then on the agreed upon day, it ends up being 10 degrees outside?

Well, after meeting for coffee at the Alterra in the fifth ward, I decided to take Katie and Jason to another favorite place of mine: Riverview Antique Market (http://www.riverviewantiquemarket.com). 

I love antiquing. And you know what? Maybe that makes me sound elderly. But I have to tell you: it’s pretty cool. And you might just have to trust me on it.

It’s like when I tell people I’ve been making dresses out of Kleenex and horrible kindergarten school projects come to mind, and then I show them a photo of what I’ve done and they’re like…”OH! Wow!”

Or if it’s really cold outside and I suggest taking photographs in an antique market. You, the reader, might furrow your brow as images of stale cookies and dust come to mind. But I am here, not only to tell you that this is absolutely not so, but I can even SHOW you!

Behold:

Thanks to Katie and Jason for being so much fun to hang around with and photograph!!

Ella Manor Is The Lady Gaga Of Photography
TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2011 POSTED IN FASHION on www.fstoppers.com

“Ella Manor is a fashion photographer based out of New York City who approaches her photography in a rather unorthodox manner. Much of her work combines beautiful models and extravagant clothing with dreamy camera effects and often times double exposures. Her hybrid style lends itself to the unpredictable nature of Lensbaby lenses so much so that she has been labeled a “Photo Guru” by the lens company themselves. This video showcases her latest photo essay Power House and explains how she approaches her photography from both a technical aspect and also a visionary aspect. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything quite like this before but judging from the images on her website I think I like what I see.”
