A Little Photoshoot at the Transportation Museum

Small museums are the best! 

Last weekend I went to the Texas Transportation Museum with my girlfriend Aamerah to take some pictures. I've loved trains since I was a kid and I thought photos in the train cars would make some nice pictures. Originally I started taking photos just to use as a reference, but now I like for them to stand on their own as art.

I remember when I first asked her to model for me during our first summer together. She was confused and flattered at the same time, but over time we both grew. It quickly became something we put a lot of thought into to create a shared vision.

The lighting in this passenger car was so good. It was really sunny outside and it took some fiddling with my point-and-shoot camera to get good shots. But all the windows gave us some chances to filter out the extra light.

 

 

Photography is interesting because I never really know how it'll turn out until I get my photos on the computer. That little screen on the camera doesn't tell me enough. And then with a little editing everything can come together beautifully. Can't wait to make some paintings from these!
