Angie Wilson Photography » Northern Colorado Wedding & Portrait Photographer

 A couple months ago I was contacted by Grand Circle Travel in Boston, who was putting together a magazine article on the travel-inspired wood-carvings of  Harry (a talented artist living in northern Colorado).  It was an amazing opportunity for me, not just to visit Harry’s wood-working studio and photograph him at work, but also to get to know Harry (quite possibly the friendliest person I have ever met) and see his passion for his work. A detail from the piece that was being featured in the magazine, which kind-of reminded me of the ivory carvings that I used to drool over in my art history classes (especially the one of Justinian riding his horse in triumph–just in case anyone else wants to be an art history nerd with me…)

Tim is a talented singer / composer / performer, and needed some updated headshots and photos for his promotional materials.  Though Colorado weather has recently been cold and snowy we lucked out with a nice sunny day and got some great photos:

Earlier this summer an ad agency in Boulder (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) hired me and Jim to photograph a few children for a Volkswagen ad they’re putting together, which will be running in the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. (the Wizard’s stadium).  Though commerical photography/studio setting is not what I would typically consider my “normal” realm, I rarely turn down the opportunity to work with new types of clients and explore new territory.  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a national ad, and enjoyed working with all of the talented designers and artists at Crispin Porter.

Here’s one of the first kids from the shoot…and in case you’re looking at his face thinking….WOW….Angie must be the most boring photographer alive….that was the look the art director was going for in the ad campaign….(the kids were SUPPOSED to look bored/tired/lost/confused)

Although I generally consider myself a “people” photographer, I was thrilled to death when Janet of JM Designs in Wheat Ridge, contacted me about photographing some of the garments she designed and put together. Janet is so passionate about what she does, and the work she does is amazingly designed and executed. She offers not only sewing classes and custom-made wedding dresses and gowns, but clothing for ice-skating costumes, ballroom dance, and modern dance. She is a creative and talented semstress, and just like me, loves to try new things and break out of the box.

Here are a few shots of the garments that were photographed, soon to be submitted as slides for admission to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Good luck Janet!!

*and, of course, a special thanks goes to Kim, who did a fantastic job modeling the clothing.

This shot was actually a test shot…making sure my lighting and exposure were right….and it turned to be one of my favorites.
