Mechanical: Jared Williams

We live in a highly mechanical world. Advances in technology has become a daily change in our lives. As technology gets better, everything becomes faster. News, health, and even entertainment. I have an app on my phone that will allow me to acces my laptop no matter where it is granted it has an Internet connection. Now that's fast!

City life is something that I’m comfortable with and all around enjoy. I’m a very busy person so I really like the hustle and bustle of people in a hurry. Every once in awhile I do like to slow down and relax. Get out into nature and really appreciate it. I think nature inspires everyone in some way, shape, or form. It may be to conquer it or preserve it. I’m inspired by the color, texture, and flow that nature offers. I take it all in, thank about how I can use it, then bring it together with my personal style and am able to create some really unique shots. Tessa Mendez who’s signed to Natalie Lynn Models has a very unique style that worked perfectly with my vision to contrast the environment in this shot.

We live in an ever-expanding world where what you see today may very well be gone tomorrow, never to be seen again. Modern buildings are replacing those out dated on a regular basis. Modern architects could learn a thing or two from the fashion industry, and I’m sure not only on how to dress. What I really like about fashion is that it’s timelessness. It doesn’t follow trend but in fact sets them. The styles you see today may be gone tomorrow but they’ll always come back. If suspenders, cardigans, or leather jackets ever go out of style it’s probably because the world ended.

Creepy: Jared Williams

Whether we’re rich or poor, young or old. Whether it is in the middle of the day, or in the dead of night.  Come rain or shine, and at any given time. No matter what the circumstance. As long as we’re too old for toys, us boys will always be boys.

Cold: Jared Williams

So much can be said with a simple glance. It may be I need food, I need time, or even I need you. One of my favorite expressions to capture is a cold stare. The amount of depth that an almost lifeless stare can create is absolutely amazing. There are so many powerful shots that I’ve come across that have had such an impact just because of an expression. The expression may distract you from the background or even contrast the environment all together. An image does not need a smiling face in order to be beautiful. The model in this shot is Deanna Knight and hair and makeup is by Marni Buckerfield.

Change: Jared Williams

I once again had an opportunity to work with the beautiful Shirley Clark. Shirley keeps very busy as an actress, model and singer. In less than a week she will leave for Las Angeles to attend AMDA (The American Musical & Dramatic Academy). Shirley plans to work at Disney Land as well. To prepare, I’ve shot her as Princess Jasmine, and this time Snow White. Unsure of what direction I wanted to go with “change” being the theme, I mentioned her showing up with makeup on only one side of her face. Being the trooper that she is, she showed up as mentioned. After many failed attempts to capture a strong concept, I came up with the triptych seen above. To hear Shirley’s amazing voice please view her youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/babyley7 or tweet her @ShirleyJClark.
