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.

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.

Printopia - Sopranoes
2007-02-28 12:03:02
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.

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...

Raul - Under the bridge
2007-02-18 23:56:01
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.

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.

Jessalyn - Downtown Kansas City
2007-02-03 23:44:01
This was shot in downtown Kansas City a couple of weeks ago with the lovely Jessalyn. Everything about this shoot clicked, from the sun coming out from behind the clouds at the right time, to her outfit and the rust color of the rail road beams. I flattened the color out in Photoshop to neutralize it a bit. I am very happy with the results and have a ton of photos from this shoot. I am having a hard time picked out my favorites.

Marisa - Rock Star
2007-02-03 23:44:01
The concept behind this shoot was to create a strung out rock star look. This was the result and I really liked how this turned out. We started shooting a lot of shot of her on a cell phone with angry expressions. It started looking a bit like the paparazzi which is something that I didn't want to happen. We kept working and this is what came out of it. This was before we realized that she locked her key to her dance studio in the building. That's just one of those things that happen in our lives.

Katie - Lawrence, Kansas
2007-02-03 23:44:01
There is no place on Earth like the wonderful city of Lawrence , Kansas - Well.....maybe Hawaii. I might be bias but I love that town and anytime I can get back up there I jump in my car and hit the road. This is Katie , she is basically awesome! I can not say much more because she was so easy to work with and we captured a ton of great photos - this being one of them. This was shot with a fish eye lens, 10.5mm on a Nikon D2X. Katie did a wonderful job, despite the fact that before our shoot she left her keys in the car while it was running. I have a previous blurb about keys being locked in a building in a previous thread. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Orlando, Florida Shoot
2007-02-03 23:44:01
I do not know why I am posting this photograph. While in Orlando , Flor ida I took this during a shoot. I do not have any meaning behind it, but I wanted to create something with horizontal and parallel lines through it. My white balance was set to fluorescent when it should of been set to something a lot warmer. I tweaked the colors a bit and was happy with how this looked. The basic premise of this shoot was of a man who operated the sound and video mixers at a church in Orlando, Florida . Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Fresno, California
2007-02-03 23:44:01
I absolutely love old beat up crap. The older and more ran down it is the more I dig it. Found this while walking around downtown Fresno after a shoot one day a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure what it was/is but the back of this warehouse had quite a few of these old door ways that were decrepit and not maintained. The crazy thing is I think that the stores in the front of the building might still be using them for some reason. I will post a few more photographs of this series in a couple of days.

Sara - Lawrence, Kansas
2007-02-03 23:44:01
Josh Fry and I have been working on a project together. This was something that we shot after we wrapped up the shoot while we were in Lawrence , Kansas a couple of months back. I found her outfit with the boots to be a perfect match for this setting. I loved the old beat up truck in the background as well. The pose was a fun/playful and I think the colors work well with this photo. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Interstate I-35 - Olathe, Kansas
2007-02-03 23:44:01
Again as you can tell I really like gritty subjects in my camera's frame. This shot was taken from a bridge overlooking I-35 in Olathe, Kansas a couple of weeks ago. The main shoot was dealing with traffic but at this moment I was shooting through the fence, no vehicles where in the frame. I really pushed the contrast on this photograph to bring out the slabs of concrete that make up the highway system on I-35. After doing this, the subject almost becomes something different. Personally I think it starts to look like an abstract image which are only held together by the vertical lines in the road. My favorite part of this photo is the lower right hand corner and how the bridge intersects all of the lines running north and south. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Fresno, California
2007-02-03 23:44:01
Found this while walking behind an old building in downtown Fresno , Cali fornia . It was an exterior light socket that had fallen down. The old rusted nails are still in place where it was hung. I wonder how old it was? Every time I have hung a light bulb I use screws and not a hammer and nails. Was this a cheaper way of putting it up? Things that I think about while shooting and reflecting on these photographs. Again - beat up old crap that always seems to find its way in front of my camera.

Corporate Building - North Kansas City, Missouri
2007-02-03 23:44:01
I was on the fence about posting this photograph. I like how the lines run North and South with an intersection on the right hand side. I pushed the colors in Photoshop and was trying to make it look like I didn't. Different computer monitors read it different I guess. I don't have much to say about this one other than the fact that I was leaving this building from a shoot I did and decided to stick around a take a couple frames of this structure. No biggie, just something mellow for a Monday evening. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.

Jessalyn - Kansas City, Missouri
2007-02-03 23:44:01
This is Jessalyn. We shot this under a railroad bridge in the West Bottoms of Kansas City , Miss ouri a few weeks back. I have not gotten outside to shoot in a while due to the weather and I am feeling a bit itchy. I shot this with a Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 lens. It has become my favorite lens in my bag. For some reason, everyone from my former teachers to what I read about says not to use a fisheye lens for portraits, I say screw that. I love the distorted look that it gives to the subject and how much of the setting gets captured in the photograph. When I shoot with the 17-35mm lens, I feel constrained now and have to go wider with my shots. I still shoot with every lens in my camera bag while on assignment, but the fish eye is my favorite at the moment. Who knows, maybe in a couple weeks I will hate it and move onto a longer lens.

Seattle, Washington
2007-02-03 23:44:01
I was digging around looking for a photograph and I stumbled upon this. When I was on a shoot in Seat tle I had some time to walk around and check the town out as I try to do when I travel for business (all within walking distance, only covering a couple city blocks of course.) I found this parking garage and really like the look and feel of it so I took a couple quick shots while shooting from the curb. The grey overcast sky muted the colors of this painted metal which worked well with the grey of the pavement. I walked away with this shot happy and have now posted it on my photoblog after it sat on the shelf for a couple of months. I did manage to go and visit Jimi Hendrix's grave while I was in Seattle just before we went to the airport. If you ever make it up to Seattle, try and make a trip to check out his grave. He was a legend of his time. And don't forget to have a cup of coffee while you are in Sea-town. Thanks for checking this out - Kansas City Photographer Aaron Lindberg.
