Music, concerts and live performances
2007-04-16 12:13:00
I love music, everything single thing about it. I decided to post some of the photographs that I have shot in the past at concerts and live performances. Starting from the top left going clockwise - Diana Krall, The Strokes, Social Distortion and Keb' Mo'. A little bit of everything. Everything but country, I can not stand country music!

Mud Volleyball Tournament
2007-04-14 08:49:00
While digging through some old files that I shot, I ran across an old portfolio that I had put together while shooting editorial / photojournalism style. This was an assignment that I shot for the Kansas City Star a couple of years back. A high school in Missouri puts on this mud volleyball tournament as a fundraiser. It was a lot of fun shooting this, they made a couple of courts at a lake up north by digging up the dirt and filling it in with water. Needless to say it was a mess. I am sure the kids had a good time while doing something good for the community. I will be posting a few other photos from this portfolio soon so check back for the updates.

My latest website - www.kcfaces.com
2007-04-10 13:47:00
Just finished up with my new website www.kcfaces.com and wanted to post it here for you guys to take a look at. I designed it to showcase a lot of the work that I do not have on my main site at Aaron Lindberg. This is host my family photos, band photographs, some modeling and head shots. It is a weird mix of subject matter but I think I needed to get this information out there so that more people can see what else I have been working on with out cluttering up my main website. Go check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Bodybuilder - Jay Cutler
2007-04-09 12:04:00
I have had the pleasure of meeting Jay Cutler on several occasions. For those of you who do not know who he is, let me throw these out there. IFBB 2006 Mr. Olympia, IFBB 2002, 2003 & 2004 Arnold Classic Champion and IFBB 2001, 2003, 2004 & 2005 Mr. Olympia Runner Up. Basically Jay Cutler is this years Mr. Olympia, or the man who now holds one of the highest honors in professional bodybuilding. The dude is freaking large, I do not know his measurements but I am sure that when he is walking down the street people get out of the way. Mr. Cutler is a very nice man and in the same breath I would not mess with him because he could break you in half without blinking. I decided to post a photograph that I took of Jay Cutler at his house in Las Vegas, Nevada during one of our shoots over the past year. Jay has graced dozens of bodybuilding magazines, probably to many to keep track of. I bet if you flipped through one today you would find a couple of references to him in the pages. I ...

Downtown Shoot
2007-04-04 12:19:00
I finally got to get outside and start photographing in downtown Kansas City again now that it has been nicer weather. It felt good to be downtown shooting again, I feel that this is my playground. The urban look and feel mixed with the human for is a favorite subject that I can not get enough of. I found a new, fun little website called Tumblr.com. Take a look at my page on that site - Aaron Lindberg Tumblr and let me know what you think about it. Basically it is a blurb website that hosts really quick bit of randomness.

Downtown Washington, D.C.
2007-03-29 12:41:00
Something about this photo made me post it on my photoblog and I really do not know why. This is way out of the norm for my shooting style. I can not explain it but it is so straight on that it almost makes me sick looking at it, yet at the same time I love it. I took this photograph inside a restaurant of the hotel I was staying at in downtown Wash ington , DC. It was snowing and we were killing time before we left to catch our flight back home. The scene was a little bit warmer than depicted here, I remember the stone of the building across the street was a bit brownish but I tweaked this in Photoshop to cool it off and create a somber/cold look to it. I really do not know why I posted this on my photoblog but thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Stuffed Animals
2007-03-27 05:38:00
This photograph use to be on my main website at www.aaronlindberg.com. I took it down when I redesigned the website and felt that I should revisit this photo and make sure that I still show it off. This was a lot of fun to shoot, she brought in 2 large trash bags full of stuffed animals. We threw them on the floor and laid her on top of them for this shoot. I shot this with 2 softboxes from the top. The light on the right was about 3/4 of a stop brighter than the other to create more side light. The photograph holds a lot of color which I really like plus the cuteness/playfulness is something that I was set on creating. Sometimes it is hard to create something exactly as I see it shaping in my head but this one is very close to what I imagined it.

Bus wrap sticker thing...
2007-03-26 23:46:00

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 10 - FINAL
2007-03-24 04:03:00
Part 10 and Final of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." This is the last post from this series that I will be posting here on my photoblog. For the past 10 days I have introduced a new photograph each day for you to take a look at what I shot while in downtown Olathe, Kansas on 3-14-2007. Again all of the posts from this shoot were to get textures and this is what developed. This was one of the last frames that I took before heading back to the office to upload the photos. Thanks for taking a look at this and continue to see what I will be posting in the next couple of days. Let me know what you think about these. Hate them? like them? drop me a comment and what you like/dislike about them. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 9
2007-03-23 01:53:00
Part 9 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." This is a cross walk that I happen to take a photograph of. I snapped 3 or 4 shots of the lines in the street before moving on with my escapade. I didn't really think about how this looked or how it would turn out, I just sort of shot it and moved on. After my initial editing process I found that I really liked this. What stuck out to me was the shadow from the street light that crosses into the middle of the photograph. Just to let you know this is the second to last photo from this series that I will post. Friday will be the last day!!! Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 8
2007-03-21 12:53:00
Part 8 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." My favorite photo from this shoot. I can not explain it but this is my favorite photo from this series. The juxtaposition of nature verses the buildings. The light verses shadow, red brick verses white wall verses Tree. Everything about this was enjoyable to photograph. This photograph is more of conceptual thought and not a good photograph. I will not market this photo, not even post it anywhere else on my websites. I most likley will not make a print of this. But this one is a personal favorite, it will be one of the photos that will stick with me for a long time. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 7
2007-03-20 12:53:00
Part 7 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." Again - I do not think this photograph goes along with the original idea of "texture" which was the main idea going into this shoot in Olathe, Kansas. I did see this bland looking building while walking the streets and enjoyed how uniform the windows and floors created a pattern of glass and concrete. It really reminded me of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album cover. This was the first thing that popped in my head when looking through the lens. The street light is an element that I am fond of. Its not overbearing and blends into the windows but to me it stands out. Keep checking back, Friday will be the last installment of this series of my work. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 6
2007-03-19 12:53:00
Part 6 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." This is not exactly a texture shot, at least what drew me into it was not the texture. What made me stop and aim my camera was the shiny metal of the street signs verses the blus sky. The refletive lights off of the metal gave me enough light make a 2-3 stops differnece in my exposure wich helped in creating the nice blue sky. This is probably one of my favorite shots from the day, no particular reason why but it is. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 5
2007-03-18 12:53:00
Part 5 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." Now that the sun has been out longer and the weather has risen above 30 degrees, the grass it starting to get some green coloring in it here in Kansas. Even though the green is not at its full punch, it has enough in it to create a nice compliment to the red brick on the sidewalk in downtown Olathe. It still looks muted but it is better than the brown coloring that consumes the grass during the winter months. Spring is close, time to start shooting portraits outside again soon!!!

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 4
2007-03-18 01:02:00
Part 4 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." This is a simple photo, nothing special about the subject, just that the light made me stop and photograph it. What really drew me into this was the way that the light fell on the two different materials on the entry way and the play on the shadows. I do not have much to say about this other than it was something that I liked and wanted to include this photo into this set of photographs that I shot in Olathe, Kansas.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas - Part 3
2007-03-17 00:41:00
Part 3 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." Two signs, side by side with 2 completely different results from the weather. It is hard to say how long these signs have been here, but by the looks of the rusted bolts at the bottom of the sign, I would say that they were put in place at the same time. It is interesting to see how both signs have worn down while being attached on the same poll under the same tree near the same building. I guess if I were a sign maker I would look into the metal sign on the left and wonder why it has done better than its neighbor on the right. The one of the right is more interesting with it cracks and grittiness! Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Part 2 of "40 Minutes in Down town Olathe, Kansas ." I saw this beat up old wooden sign and knew that it would make a cool shot that I would like to post on my photoblog. This was a no parking sign in downtown Olathe, Kansas near some shops that I parked in back of. The cracking of the paint and wood really drew me into this shot. Plus the contrast of the lettering with the faded out white background made a nice juxtaposition of light verses dark. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

40 Minutes in Downtown Olathe, Kansas
2007-03-14 13:59:00
For the next ten days I will be posting photographs that I took on March 13th, 2007. I traveled 5 minutes by car to downtown, Olathe, Kansas to work on a few photographs. The idea that was given to shoot was "Texture." I do not think that I have been on a texture hunt since I was in college so I thought this would be interesting concept to shoot, little did I know that I would have found some very interesting thinks along my 40 minute excursion. (I know that it was 40 minutes because I checked the metadata, of the photos - first one was taken at 1:37pm and the last one that I will be posting was snapped at 2:17pm) Do not forget to stop by each day for the next 10 days as I will be posting a new photograph each day until Friday March 23rd, 2007.

Fitness - Las Vegas, Nevada
2007-03-10 00:11:02
After shooting this photograph, I looked at it on the back of the camera and thought that I loved everything about this. When I got back to Kansas City, I looked at it on my computer monitor and wasn't very happy with how it turned out. 4 weeks went by and after revisiting this photo, I realized that I really did like it. I believe that I enjoy this photograph so much is because it feels like it was something that I do not normally shoot. Not the subject matter, but composition and framing of the objects. I do not know how to explain it but I feel that I did something outside of the box with my photography. It is not that great of a photograph but something inside my mind and camera found something new. It is very difficult to explain in writing so I am going to shut up now and let you decide what you think about it. By the way, this was shot in Las Vegas Nevada during a fitness camp I shot while I was out in Sin City. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron L...

Culinary Salad in St. Louis, Missouri
2007-03-06 12:08:01
Walking through a kitchen during a photo shoot in St. Louis , I passed this shiny metal bowl of greens and decided to stop and shoot a few frames of this. I do not know if this was going to be thrown into something that the student chef was cooking, or if it was some fancy type of salad. Whatever it was it drew my attention for some reason and after revisiting this photograph I decided to post it here to share with all of you. (Who ever you are, I have no clue who you people are so leave me a message below and let me know your name are and how you found this site!) I want to warn you and tell you that I did not desaturated the color out of the left side of the photo. I hate that technique and think it is very cliche and overused in the wedding and senior photography markets. If you like the way this looks, try using fluorescent lighting and tweak your white balance in camera and in Adobe Photoshop - yes this is a shameless plug!

Reading a newspaper
2007-03-01 12:04:03
I had an idea. I wanted to sillouhete a figure reading a newspaper. I was happy with the results but I do not like the plain background. I think this would of worked better if it were in a scene at a coffee shop or something of this nature. Anyways here it is, I had it posted on my old photo blog before it got messed up. Sean was nice enough to stand in for this test shoot that I did at work so stop by one of his many sites and check out his work. Click - Seanblog - Seancorcoran.net - surefootage - snarbles. Maybe if we are nice to Sean he will draw a snarble with a camera and I can post it on this site. Again this photo is nothing fancy, but trying something that I thought of and wanted to re-post it to my photoblog. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City PhotographerAaron Lindberg.

I shot this and pieced it it together for out print department at work. It is based off of a popular Soprano s photo. I received many compliments/comments on this piece so I thought I would share it on my photoblog. Each individual photo was shot using a one light - top down unfiltered light source - and used photoshop to place all of the layers together. I few tweaks here and there and it came together.

Surgical Technologist
2007-02-28 12:03:02
This was shot a few months ago and wanted to re-post it. I had it running on my old photoblog and since that was deleted I thought I would throw it up here again. It feels like surgery even though it was in a classroom at one of the schools campuses here in Kansas City. The photo was lit by the lamps from above with light bouncing off of the dummy/mannequin that the students/doctors were operating on. (Yes I just used two slashes in the same sentence.) Nothing else more to say about this other than I was happy with how it turned out. The editorial style works well with this advertisement, shows people what they would be doing if they went into this program. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Shot this for a client a couple of weeks back. This is Raul . He is working on dropping a new album soon and asked me if I would be interested in working with him to get his album art work together. We shot for a couple of hours in the studio and also shot in downtown Kansas City, Missouri area. We got some great photos from the shoot that I had posted on my older photoblog before it crashed. I will be sure to post a few other shots in the next couple of posts on this blog so stop back by and check it out. Raul is a house/club/dance singer who is just getting his start in the industry. Keep any ear out for him on the club scene, he is going to blow up. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Beth Horn - Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas Nevada
2007-02-18 23:56:01
This is Beth Horn one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. We were out in Las Vegas at Red Rock Canyon doing a commercial shoot while I snapped this photograph. The scene was great, the sun was setting on the mountains while Beth read through her lines, coyotes (or something) were howling from the desert and the temprature was dropping. For those of you who do not know who Beth A. Horn is - she is a Professional Fitness Competitor / Model / Personal Trainer etc... She is all about fitness and it shows. Beth is a very down to earth and is a lot of fun to hang around with. It was a pleasure getting to work with her on this project. On a side note - after the shoot was done, all of the crew and Beth were hanging out waiting for the rest of the people to show up from a hike that they went on. Little did we know that the park locks the gates at 5:00pm. To make a long story short, we were locked in the park in our bad ass mini-van rental until someone finally let us out. Everyone had a l...

Red Rock - Las Vegas, Nevada
2007-02-15 11:53:01
Second installment of what I like to call "landscape photography" I do not shoot many landscapes so when I do I try to give them a spin. Here I simply blurred the photograph and using the history brush in Photoshop, brought back the mountains. Looks kinda weird but I dig it. Nothing major, just something I thought looked fun to do. Shot this at Red Rock in Las Vega s , Nevada . Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Red Rock Canyon - Las Vegas, Nevada
2007-02-14 11:52:01
This is my feeble attempt at a landscape photograph. When I first started learning to use my camera about 8-9 years ago I was constantly shooing landscapes, sunsets and graveyards. Since then I have moved on from shooting landscapes and started photographing people. Switching over to human beings has made me become bored looking at landscapes. I wanted to shake it up a little bit so tried this approach to see how it would turn out. I feel bad because I dwarfed the beautiful mountains next to the sky but I like how low the horizon line is in this photo. Sometimes I don't even bother shooting landscapes knowing that no matter how bad ass of a photographer anyone is, they will never be able to capture the exact moment on film. Sometimes it is better to put the camera down and take it all in. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.
