Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Anne Faith Nicholls

This was the picture where it all changed for me. ANNE FAITH NICHOLLS CHANGED MY LIFE.

I had been invited to the wedding by a fellow Polaroid enthusiast, Tod Brilliant, after I had found him a photographer to shoot the wedding using only Polaroids.
(I was still very green, didn’t have the confidence [...]

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Julia Galdo

FACT. Julia Galdo is one of my heroes. Before I ever considered myself a photographer, I looked at her work in awe. I was humbled by her photos. Now she’s making it big.

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Amanda Newman

The tone of the shoot has a large role to play in the resulting photos.
No big surprise.
But I noticed at a shoot last week that it’s not just about creating a pleasant atmosphere for your model, not just about establishing a rapport and using that connection to take some good photos.

When Amanda punched me, I [...]

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Corie Howell

Recently read a book on boxing by Katherine Dunn. In it she uses several chapters to describe and promote the idea of female boxers.
Which I dug. The idea that women contain within them violence and strength equal to men. That the idea of women being weaker is a socialized idea passed [...]

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Robyn Manning

So I just started talking and didn’t stop until she was laughing and relaxed. Which was easy, the lady’s a blast to talk to, and a blast to shoot. We’ve shot twice since I first spotted her in that comic book store, she’s a helluva dame.

It’s not a new idea to point out that we can create ourselves anew if we so choose. Or that the internet is an excellent venue for such an activity.

But I suppose what fascinates me is the fact that, if you’re of a mind, the transformation can be as thorough as you like.

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Dola Baroni

I was invited to a barbecue by Dola last weekend, just happened to bump into someone I’d known back in high school, ALL THOSE MANY YEARS AGO.
Thing of it is, they didn’t remember me all that well, which I was rather glad of. Glad the opinion they’d formed about the guy in front [...]

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Katie Horwitch

The last shoot with Katie, we went over to a small park nestled in the higher reaches of Beverly Hills. There’s a reservoir up there, nice and quiet, great place to take some pictures.
Usually. But this time, there’s people everywhere, even though it’s only early afternoon on a weekday, a time I’d have [...]

Lou O’ Bedlam’s Friday Feature: Caitlin Boyd

I’ve spent a lot of my life dealing with fear. Grappling with fear. Being undone by fear, yeah, that’s it.
I’ve spent my life being undone by fear, having it color my actions, having it, often enough the memory of it pains me, prevent my actions.
fear has kept me from living my life like [...]
