vendor spotlight: vantage point films

Let me introduce you all to someone you may have heard of before, but I am going to chat about now for a spell: Tommy Morlock of Vantage Point Films!

Julius Caesar ipod

I met Tom while shooting one of my favorite clients’ weddings back in May and we have been BFF’s ever since. Not only does Tom have a great eye and deliver a beautiful product- he is an absolute DREAM to shoot with! Now I pride myself on my ability to play well with others, but I dare say Tom had me beat. He adapted the whole working as a team concept and took it to a whole other level- we not only both got our jobs done for Jessica- we had a BLAST doing it!

At every point he was so considerate about not getting in my shot- it was awesome. Him being a bit of a giant also may have helped, since I am super short!


So without further ado……

BOO YA!!!!!!!

Patriot Games film

We had some fun with this old tyme video camera my buddy Jeff Reilly lent us for our shoot

Barbie and the Three Musketeers buy

This one rocks my world a bit, love the black and white, love the profile, love the light! Tom’s aw-ight too

Star Trek: Nemesis dvd

scoobadee-DOO with this pretty light!!

A rare moment where Tom is not busting out laughing, seriously they are rare! But nice! But i like when he laughs too

See what I mean??!!

Countdown: Jerusalem movie download

Another nice moment …

 


My favorite thing about Tommy Morlock?? His sense of humor!! Here is his take on my Nikki Nicole Head Shot session I did earlier in the summer! Sorry T, Nikki’s got you on this one, but nice try!

Danielle Fuller — Go Tom, Go Tom.....Love these Carla! And Tom, I too am craving some Zoolander :)   ( July 23, 2009 @ 9:41 am )

Tom "Zoolander" Morlock — GQ just called! Unfortunately it was just to renew my subscription!?! Thanks Carla for all the nice blog love, and for taking the time to make even me look pretty. You're the best, behind the camera and without one too!   ( July 23, 2009 @ 12:09 pm )

lisa Morlock — His eyes are soooo dreamy! I married well. Thanks Carla - you did an awesome job. Always impressed.   ( July 23, 2009 @ 1:13 pm )

eric langlois — holy smokin' hot!!! I never knew there was such a fine specimen of a man sitting right next door in the studio!! You're ready for the big top buddy.   ( July 23, 2009 @ 11:43 pm )

Val McCormick — LMAO at the last shot I forgot about everything else!   ( July 27, 2009 @ 7:57 pm )

Eileen Broderick — I'm with Val. That last shot is the best. My other favorites are the one in front of the awesome red door--crouching--and the shot with him pointing the camera right at us with the soft sun flare. Nice!   ( July 27, 2009 @ 11:21 pm )

dana lauren head shots in hartford

Last week I had the absolute pleasure of spending a sunny and wonderful afternoon with Dana Lauren: easily one of the most talented jazz singers in the area. When she met with me to help her plan out her shoot I was excited- she has great energy and an infectious smile and wit- I knew it would be a fun shoot and I was not disappointed! She left me with her CD after our first meeting, and as I popped it into my Mac, I was secretly crossing my fingers that she would be good. And she is TERRIFIC!! I have her in my constant rotation in the studio and every time her music comes on I feel like a proud Momma! And kind of a stalker fan- I KNOW her!!!

Her music is on itunes, check her out!

And so it should come as no surprise that I would love to rock this rocking gal around Hartford Proper- in the way that I love… utilizing the light as we found it and all of the wonderful parking lots,utility poles and random walls throughout pretty much a one block radius! Hartford is full of great little nooks, you just have to open your eyes to see them all…

So here, I had to bust out my pocket wizards and light her up a bit

I’m all about great props, and suggested a vintage mic, which she readily had a connection for! I think it really added something nice to our shoot

And here comes the sun….. and there goes my sanity, as I went a little crazy

D-War full movie

Dana has so many great looks, I couldn’t narrow my favorites down any more than this

Blue Thunder download

 

I love how I used to SWEAR that I was a predominantly horizontal shooter….. not a one in this session!! Get out of your own head and just shoot what feels right is what I say!

I love how different an image can feel when there is no eye contact versus eye contact

See what I’m saying?

 

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage film

Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff

Friday the 13th download

One of my favorites- way to rock a utility pole girl!

Superman Returns movie

A Ideal Husbandn divx

The wind was working in our favor that day

The Pacifier full movie

 

Black brick adds such a different feel here, and really brings out her hair

Now the white brick? Right? A completely new feel

 

And brown brick….. loving the brick theme, especially since I typically dislike new brick! Weathered brick, painted brick, yes please!

 

 

Be sure to check out Dana at Black Eyed Sally’s on Monday August 24th- I’ll be there shooting- it’s going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!

meet my sister tere

This past week I took a vacation week to visit with my oldest sister Tere, who was up from Virginia to catch up with the clan. Tere is an incredible jewelry designer, in addition to be a super cool sister- be sure to check out her site – mypreciousstudio.com and see what she’s all about! She wanted to update her head shots on her site and so she decided to give her little sis a shot.

To cap off our visit we hit up a cemetery in Simsbury and the light was just perfect! Here are our the shots and some behind the scenes to show you where I was and what I got…

 

There was this really cool gate at the entrance to the cemetery that I just HAD to incorporate….. and so….

Dreamy CITY, love the floating cross on the left

Check me and my reflector out. I really wanted to show some of the flowering trees, of which there were really only two and they had haircuts….so I chose to shoot up on the trees

and this is the result

cool hand luke movie

I am SUPER unobtrusive, right? I swear I DO tell people that eventually I may end up in your grill, like seriously IN it, but that you will actually be OK with it! Tere had a bit of a laughing fit, but that’s OK! Laughing is always good!!

getting up and close and personal pays off!

Flawless full

 

I love the light here

I moved all of about 4 inches over and look how different the light was

My sister has some mad tats

Tales from the CRYPT, for real.

I am the apple of her eye…. no actually I AM the apple of her eye!! Look.

What a different feel with her eyes closed!!

these columns were way cool

 

Thanks sis for letting me play!
