Madi

There is nothing quite so lovely as the energy of a young person who is doing something they love.  Madi has a sparkle in her that is going to take her a long way in her pursuit of acting.  Here are her headshots that we created a couple of weeks ago.  I know that they will help her get more established on the scene!

Kirsten

I love shooting Actor's Headshots.  Have I ever mentioned that?  I love the process of distilling down to what each individual actor is trying to convey.  And then matching up the wardrobe, setting and expression to bring that message across.  Kirsten was absolutely a joy to work with last weekend and I love the energy that comes across in her shots.  Break a leg Kirsten!

Stefanie Rose

Stef is one of my all time favourite clients and singers.  I uber love all the different projects we have worked on over the last...10?...years.  She is a dream to shoot and always brings a super fresh energy to set along with fabulous styling and ideas.  So somehow I missed posting these amazing shots from last year.  You may have seen them on my web site, but they deserve a blog post. We only got about halfway through before gale force winds swept through, but we're both tenacious and stuck it out.  Totally worth it to rock these shots.
Any time - any place!

Restoration


Click to enlarge
For years I have honed my skills in Photoshop.  I've done some restoration work, but never really posted it or did anything with it.  And yet, every time I work on a piece, it fills my heart with joy for a number of reasons. I think about the memories that are connected to that image by the person who made it.  For the people in it.  And for todays viewers who are taken back in time by it.  Pictures tell the stories of our lives past and present.  And in some ways, help to shape our future as well by connecting us to what is important. I love that I can bring back a part of that history.  Make it current.  Digitize it and make it accessible.  What about creating a gorgeous coffee table book with the pictures from your past?  (I'm working on one for myself right now...) There are so many ways to remember where we came from. What our legacy is and will be.  This is the root of all that I do in photography and photo restoration is a lovely part of that. Check out the new gallery on ChipperfieldPhotography.com  ...not much in there yet, but keep checking back as there is much more to go in there!

New Paintings

I have had mostly finished paintings piling up in my lair for months. I finally spent some time and finished them up and listed them on Etsy.  Thought I would share with all you lovely readers here too! I love the pink in both of them. I am completely drawn in by pink and teal these days. Enjoy and thanks for looking!
