About the stage:

Stage C was a choice of this creative collective for several reasons. Besides a tremendous space capacity perfect for both, large crews and small teams this stage provides a white CYC wall that is always freshly painted for each client. In addition to the prop count, a grass wall and a wood floor corned section installed for your creative exploration. With large South and East facing windows, this stage gets lots of natural light throughout the day. Find out more about stage C on our WEBSITE.

The shoot was for two shoes that PUMA brought back from their archives, the Sky Mid LX and Basket 90680. We helped re-introduce the shoes, which were given a lux makeover, with a Victorian Age inspired motif with antique furniture curated from antique malls.

About the shoot:

I had a great time shooting at the private jet studio! It was just me and my photographer that I have been working with for the past 2 years. The style of this shoot was luxury boudoir in an unusual setting. I create content mainly for my Instagram and it is truly my passion! Every woman needs a way to make herself feel confident and sexy and for me this is it, being photographed gives me that extra confidence boost and confidence is sexy!

Portrait Work With Jake Allen Photography

About the Shoot:

Performer’s Chris Peterkin and Ashley Smith-Wallace came in for new headshots. Since the space had such a creative atmosphere for us to play in. We were able to explore the natural lighting, and exposed brick for some fun media photos as well.

My goal while shooting is to create a space where my subject feels like they can have fun, get silly, and step beyond what they expected out of the shoot. It’s where I feel the best work comes out of my clients and myself. Being a performer as well, my work allows me to travel and meet new and exciting people willing to collaborate. It also grants me the knowledge in having an idea of what they’re looking for out of a photoshoot.

I like to start my sessions off with a conversation between my subject and my team. Not only does it allow my assistant (Will Hin) and I to further understand the style my client is trying to achieve. We begin to create a true artistic collaboration between the subject and Jake Allen Photography.

“Taking Photos is like dancing. It’s an intimate duet between the subject and yourself. By the end, you’ve both created a work of art ready for the world to see.” -Jake Allen Smith

The Stage

Stage A, chosen for this shoot, is a modest sized studio, great for a nice and clean high-key look. A long time favorite of our clients, Stage A gets beautiful direct sunlight in the morning through north and east-facing windows, and beautifully soft indirect light as the day goes on. Equipped with all of the same great gear that’s included with all of our studios – strobes, light modifiers, radio trigger, and paper backdrops – it’s a wonderful place to be able to achieve different looks all in the same place. Visit Stage A on our website to learn more.

About the photographer/the shoot:

I have been doing photography since I was 9 years old and I started out on film, but switched to digital shortly since it was becoming a thing at that time. I recently got back into film and have been shooting it mostly for personal enjoyment, since I love the look of it and the experience of the whole process. I decided to try shooting some double exposures after being inspired by my friend Starla, who is amazing at them, despite having never shot studio portraits or really any portraits at all. This was my third time shooting the double exposures with a model and second time shooting in a studio. Matison Card was my model, and she is absolutely amazing. I just gave her an idea of what I wanted and would give a tiny bit of direction here and there, but most of it was up to her. These were shot with just the natural light in the studio. I shot two rolls of her with different outfits and vibes, and then took them home to shoot through again with flowers at my house and at the park. I am so excited about the results, and I actually am making a zine with some of these photos, as well as the two other models I shot. I loved FD Photo Studio so much, and am excited to come back and try some other studios for some different looks!

About the stage:

StageF was used for this team’s creative session. The studio is the smallest space we currently offer for our clients. Yet it is one of the most brightest stages with the tremendous amount of natural light coming from North West. It has gained a nickname – “light box” by some of our regulars and it truly fulfills it at any time of the day from dawn until dusk. This studio also features two section laminate floor of white and dark color for your creative needs. As with any of our stages, Studio F comes with 3 strobe lights already included in the hourly rate and backdrop seamless paper installed. Take a closer look HERE.
