Movie Star

After trying so hard to find new models all summer, I've pretty much run out of options. So, I simply had to get back to my roots and stick to what works - ME. As you might know, I'm a big fan of taking pictures of myself. And, since I couldn't even find someone to be an extra, I just used myself over and over again. (That's right - it's me talking to me!) I had fun with them, let me know what you think! (Please). 

Lady of the Lake

Since it's nearing the end of summer, I thought it would be nice to post these ultimate summer pictures I took today. Nothing special - not an actual photo shoot or anything, just my friend and old roommate, Liz. So summery, so refreshing!

Such a #beachbabe.

I took a ton of pictures of strangers too, but I decided it's inappropriate to post them, right? Does anyone know the rules?

Happy Last Days of Summer, everyone!

Chicken Run

Remember how I teased you guys with the last post? Well, congratulations on waiting it out - it's finally here! This summer my friend, Netanya, adopted a pet chicken named Ami. Of course, Netanya took Ami home the day before she had to go away on a trip sooo ... I got to take care of Ami! We had a lot of fun. Ami had curled toes (it's a common problem. Who knew?) which I made little shoes for. It was great. Anyway, Netanya absolutely adores Ami, so we had to do a photo shoot showing off how in love they are. It turned out very sweet (I think).

This is my favorite, even though you can barely see Ami

Remember to check out my new pet portrait business page (especially if you would be interested in having a photo session): katherinesolomon.com/petportraits

And also remember to check out my show at the Barnes & Noble in Kingston, New York!

New Model

This summer I need to really expand my portfolio and I need lots of pictures of people who aren't me. I want to photograph everyone! (If you're a model or know models let me know)! I tried some stuff today. Here you go. This is my friend, Ruthanna.

 

Voyeur Allure

My Vision

Valerie Shaff, who I interned for this summer, did a photo-shoot of me! I styled it and told her my vision for the shoot. I've never had my picture taken by a real-live photographer before. The dressing gown was provided by Lisa Durphee at Five and Diamond Vintage in Hudson, NY.
Don't you love it? They're all pictures of me!

Isn't She Peachy?

Here are some more photos I took at my internship with Valerie Shaff!

These are of Lily.

 

Happy Summer!!

This is my Summer is Here collage. It's a Gibson Girl that I brought into the modern fashion world. Can't you tell how thrilled she is that it is SUMMER!

Summer is here!! Which means I'll finally get back to work on this here blog! I'm so excited! Oh, how I've missed you guys!

Real Housewife

*UPDATE*

This one is new, you guys! This is what the Real Housewives would look like if they were saints.

Is it weird to just post the same picture over and 

 over again in the same post?

Tenement Fun

I'm trying a more documentary, Jacob Riis style for my housewife series now. My class is LOVING it, you guys. Tenements are intriguing. Sometimes housewives just clean themselves to death. Housewife suicides to come! I'm excited!

 

My cool friends. Can't you tell?

Teen Zine

My friend Ruthanna wrote this really amazing, really long article for me which was great! I got to photoshoot her the other day and after I had photoshot her I became so inspired to just turn her article into a zine. You guys know zines? They are underground publications that pretty much always look cool. I've been dying to make a zine. So I took her text and the photos that I shot and collaged it all into THIS! Check it out! If you click on the bottom corner of the picture the pages actually FLIP, you guys! Isn't this just the fanciest thing you've ever zine?! (I'm very excited. Don't be surprised if these start popping up more frequently.)
