Photo Shoot with Saigon

Just wrapped up a laid back shoot with Saigon the other day. I was also the first photographer to photograph Saigon with a large format camera, and he was pretty stoked on that...(Keep your eyes peeled for those photos and more coming soon) Also check out Saigon's new album "Greatest Story Never Told."

A shout-out to A.P. (ALLPURPOSIS.com) for generously supplying clothing from RockSmith and watches from Flud. Also thanks to Derek Pike for organizing the shoot...keep checkin' www.DEREKPIKE.com for the Saigon's newest music vids

Building Identity

 Collin Avery, 2009

A quick look at a few images from my new series entitled, "Building Identity." Full artist statement to come soon...

a few gelatin-silver images

Here are a few images from a series of photographs in which I used existing objects in a given landscape to monumentalize the fact that these objects are here to stay. I turned each object into a sculpture that could only be distinguishable through the ground glass of my Rolleiflex TLR. All images are photographs of the actual gelatin-silver print.

soap

A new series on singular bathroom items? I think this may be the start to a new series showcasing the individual qualities of typical bathroom items. More to come

Orange Loofah

"Orange Loofah, 2009"

This is a preview of what is to come with my newest project, although this is just a quick digital image, this project will be shot with a large format view camera. A more in depth description is in the works as soon as I gather more imagery.

John

"John, 2009"

Lewis and clark motel, Bozeman

Here is a recent scan...starting to look at objects that are overlooked and giving them the chance to be seen alone and isolated as a piece of art...we'll see where this goes

images for book

These are a few images I am using for a book assignment.

photo montage/creation

The goal of this montage was to take a standard headshot, cut it apart, put it back together, then distort and re-make the face with a slight influence from Picasso's paintings, except made photographically.

triptych

Escape

Self Portrait

Here is a self portrait i made with the 4x5...please note that this is a rough jpeg not dusted or color corrected due to the scan having newton rings

clean lines

Here is another super simple, super clean horizon line that was taken at one of MSU's greenhouses.  This would be more of the direction I would be heading in for doing these types of landscapes

abstract

Here is my interpretation of a party getting broken up by the police.

color scans from rolleiflex
