Blue River Dream

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jun 30, 2021 | Kodak Girls, Models

One of the figure models we work with is Blue River Dream, a local model here in the DC area. She is always great fun to collaborate with on ideas for photos. I’ll come up with an idea for a photo session, she’ll look through what she has for wardrobe and props, and between us, we always come up with wonderful ideas. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my photos of Blue River Dream.

Gazelle Powers

In December 2019, I had the chance to work with Gazelle Powers, a local fine-art figure model. I shared my ideas for my Kodak Girls inspired series with her and she arrived for our session full of ideas, and with some wonderful outfits. I can’t wait to work with Gazelle again once it is safe to reopen our studio.

Kodak Girl Ivory Flame

by hankinslawrenceimages | Apr 20, 2021 | Kodak Girls

In the first decades of the twentieth-century, the Kodak Company ran an ongoing advertising campaign designed to encourage women to become photographers and recorders of their family’s travels, activities, milestone events and every day occurrences. Inspired by these ads, I’m creating photographs showing women as active photographers rather than the passive subject of a male photographer’s work that we so often see.

In the photograph, Ivory Flame is portrayed as a 1920’s woman photographing with her Ihagee Pocket Folding Camera.

Gazelle Powers

by hankinslawrenceimages | Oct 22, 2020 | Kodak Girls, Models

A few weeks ago, Bill and I spent a wonderful socially-distanced morning working with one of our favorite models Gazelle Powers. Most of the photos I took were part of my Inspired by the Kodak Girls series, and I took a few portraits of Gazelle. As always, the photographs were created in partnership with Gazelle – I shared my concept for the session with her – she brought the outfits, and the ideas for poses. I can’t wait to work with Gazelle again next spring
