Abandoned Green Acres pt. deux

I would like to thank the models that came out to the shoot Sunday. I would also like to give a huge thanks to Alexis and Clarissa who humble me with their photography but spent the day lugging around lights and helping in set-up.


This young lady's name is Heidi Morrow, who I turned out to be someone I had met once before, but being the professional I am was not aware of that fact until she was leaving.

This woman's name is Tana and came well prepared and was very professional, as you can see below she came outfits including a wedding dress and an electrical taped together dress which was reminder of a Silent Hill character.

These final 3 girls were just as professional and fantastic to work with, but again due to my "professionalism" I was unable to get their names before they left, but will soon update the post once the names are learned.

Abandoned Green Acres

The next 2 posts are pictures made from my photo shoot at the Green Acres Retirement Home here in St. Joseph. This site was once the state welfare home about 10 years ago. Since then nature has taken a hold of it and ravished it. 
I have wanted to shoot here for a while, on account that my great grandmother spent some time here in between other retirement homes and I remember how creepy, small, and life-sucking the rooms were then, and they have only gotten worse. When I brought up the fact that I had always dreamed of breaking in for a day to my camera club one of the members informed me he knew the owner and was able to get us in (much easier than breaking in). 
This first post will be for the building, a testament of its current state of disrepair. The next post will be a showcase of my chance to put some lights up and shoot with some models.

 Wash Up 

 This is a picture of a room filled with dirt. There were a couple of rooms like this in the basement. I applied an HDR effect to this just so you could see farther back, and below is the same room, and that white thing to the right of the chair is a cat... A very old and very dead cat.

Model Mayhem part deux

This young lady's name is Cali, she is the second model that showed up on Saturday. I have nothing but good things to say about the two models, and Cali was very professional. 

Model Mayhem Shoot part une

These are shots from a photo shoot that I did yesterday. Only two models showed up due to a high chance of snow, and they didn't want to chance driving from Kansas City and back. Luckily this young lady, Olivia, is one of them that showed up. Olivia is the daughter of one of the members from the photo club and she could not have done any better of a job.
