PAPER PHOTOGRAPHS PAPER BAG INVITES

Heather, a good friend of mine and a web/graphic designer here in Columbus, recently decided to add entrepreneurship to her long list of achievements. She started Paper Bag Invites and asked me to take some photos of her work for the upcoming website. I have just a few images below, but you can check out more custom invitation work at her website here: http://paperbaginvites.com. Congratulations, Heather! And best of luck on your new enterprise!

PAPER PRODUCTS
When I ran into Lea at Agora 8 a couple months ago, she started telling me about how she was giving up her day job to focus on her business full time. I always love hearing stuff like that; people taking the plunge to start making a living doing what they love to do. So she was going to need some product photography done for her online portfolio she was putting together and I told her of course we’d be happy to help out.

We scheduled two different shoots – one for the products themselves, and the other at the Park of Roses to get some lifestyle shots of people interacting with her work. Our models for the shoot, Kate and Lea herself, did a great job acting like rain wasn’t pouring into their eyes. Chris clocked the shoot time at a total of 8 minutes before the rain and strong winds forced us inside. We really wanted a softly lit, sunset look to the images, so we had to work some computer magic to turn that dark gray evening into a bright, golden sunset.

Note to all photographers out there: Always shoot RAW!

You can take a look at all of what Lea does on her website here at Lea Gray Design. Thanks for being an awesome client Lea, and best of luck on the new Lea Gray enterprise!

We are going to love blogging; I know because humans have an innate need to share stories over the internet.
