Catalog shoot

Well today I had a small shoot, just a few pictures, for Fuzi.  They are a major ballet shoe manufacturer (www.fuzi.net if you get curious) and they needed some product pictures for their new catalog (which I'm also designing!).  For the actual catalog the pictures will be cut from the background, but I thought some of them looked pretty neat so naturally I had to post them here.




Being a dancer myself it was neat to take photos in a dance studio.  Combining photography and dance; both passions of mine was great to do.  It was fun and I'm looking forward to the final design of the catalog in a couple weeks.

Welcome to A Perfect Mirror Photography's photo journal! I'm Kiara Boggs, the owner, and I decided to try and capture some of my town through my photography. There are so many interesting things that happen under our very noses, but we rarely take the time to notice. My aim is to re-introduce these common things to you in a new light, hopefully keeping myself and you entertained as well.

My first journey was to Percival landing in Downtown Olympia, WA. There is a wall on East Bay Dr. that has silhouettes of people and ships painted on it. This wonderful piece of art has been there for a few years now but I noticed that there is never any graffiti on it.

As fate would have it, as I was driving in and I noticed someone out there with a power sander, grinding away at that wall.
Curiosity overcame me, so naturally I had to stop my car and get out. This person wished to remain anonymous so I will arbitrarily say it's a man named Steve. I walked up with my camera and asked him what he was doing (even though I had a pretty good idea already). He was indeed cleaning the wall, and repainting where needed, but the real surprise was he was doing it from the goodness of his heart!
As an Olympia resident he decided that it was his community duty to preserve this wall painting so that others may enjoy it's beauty. I found this amazing and I'm very happy to know we have such upstanding citizens in our city. His diligence allowed me to take wonderful photos of this artwork unfettered by graffiti tags.

After taking my full of photos I thanked Steve and continued on my original mission: Percival Landing.

After a lengthy search for parking, I found myself strolling along the dock enjoying the rare sunshine. I was snapping pictures of anything really, just happy to be in the sun; everyone of all ages was doing the same. Being the fair-skinned person I am though, I began to feel like a roast that had been left in too long. I hot-footed it back to my car and ended my journey for the day; thoroughly satisfied with my photos and the overall experience.

Let me know what you think about the photos, and please tell me why there is a pig on the sign for Percival Landing, I have no idea and my curiosity will burn forever until I know.

Thanks for reading!
