NYC Photo-Shoot! 01/10/2011
 While in Brooklyn for the New year I joined forces with my talented sister Kia Davis. She directed and executed a fabulous photo-shoot that will hopefully yield the cover art for my album.  We hit the snow covered streets of Brooklyn a few days after the huge blizzard that shut down the entire city.  The stark and cold urban landscape proved to be an appropriate background and set the mood for the searching quality I feel Lost and Lookin’ evokes. Kia, a student of photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, captured some brilliant shots with the digital camera and I look forward to seeing the photographs that she took with film, once she develops them in the darkroom!   The 2nd half of the shoot moved indoors and provides a warmer and more intimate portrait. I was interested in having many contrasting patterns to provide a deeply textured scene. We are considering handcoloring the photographs with simple tints in the pre-color style that is evocative of photography in the 1st half of the last century.  This is just a small selection of the photos we took and there is much thinking, editing, choosing, cropping, coloring, etc. to come, but I wanted to share some of what we captured. Let me know what you think! CommentsNadia 01/10/2011 10:35

Really beautiful photos! I particularly like the 2nd and 3rd ones...very evocative of the a Lost and Lookin' kind of mood. Leave a Reply | Aria PrameAria Prame is a jazz vocalist in Seattle, Washington. ArchivesOctober 2011 CategoriesAll |
