Here is a sample image from Gabrielle's senior studio photo session. This was only one of the outfits she modeled for us in the studio. We asked her to turn or spin to get her red dress to swirl out and give the photo some great motion. You can see how cute this image came out. We will be going on location this weekend for her second photo session in the Biltmore area of Phoenix. Watch this blog for another update on her beautiful photos.
I wanted to share one more dance image from the YAC. This image shows Martha Hernandez in one of her jumps during her performance. Contestants are now able to go online and view their images. Please contact me at info@apatrouphotography.com for the Session ID to see all the photos from the competition.
I would also like to add that all of the twelve finalist contestants that performed on Saturday night are invited to call me and make an appointment to come into the studio for a private tour and viewing of their images. Images will be projected and reviewed in this format to allow you to see them more clearly. You may call me (Allen) at 602-821-5307.
The Arizona Young Artists' Competition was held Saturday evening March 27th at the Herberger Theater. Apatrou Photography was a sponsor and the official photographer for the event. Preliminary competition was held earlier in the week in each of three categories; Acting, Voice, and Dance. The top four finalists from each category then competed on Saturday night. Awards were given in each category plus a people's choice award. Kate Nernhauser was the winner in Acting and Joshua Redfield won People's Choice in Acting, Aubrey Noble won both awards in Voice, and Torrin Turley won both awards in the Dance category. You can see one of my photos of Torrin taken during her winning performance below. I would definitely have to say each and every finalist was very talented.
This shot of Tina was taken in a new area of the studio called the French Corner. Tina came back for a second photo session and is modeling a Cinderella Dress from Not Too Shabby. We had a fun photo session with lots of great outfits. Tina has great taste in clothing. Antique tiles from France were used to line the walls for an interesting texture. This area is great for High School Seniors and fashion shots.
This image shows Bettina in our updated outside garden feature. I guess you could call it the entrance to the secret garden. You may have seen our arbour but you won't believe how great this new element fits in and creates a unique backdrop. Bettina was the first one to model for us at this spot.
I have been working on a project at the Joe Diaz Top Level Boxing Gym in Phoenix. Here are two of the boxers, Freeman and Juergen. Both are great photographic subjects as you can see. I have enhanced the gritty detail to add to the style of the images. These two fighters, among others, will be participating in exhibition matchs for charity this Saturday, January 30th at 9:00 am at the gym. The charity will benefit young adults and help stop underage drinking and drug use.
This newest video is of Natalie, one of our Senior Ambassadors, who is attending the Arizona Agribusiness & Equine school. She is an awesome young lady and a very accomplished award-winning rider. If you have been watching this blog you've seen sample images of her in previous posts. You will see photos and HD video clips of her from her studio session and her on-location session with her horse Tiana. Please watch in HQ mode!
