Americana 2

Matt — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:34:03 +0000

A year ago, when DuckDuck collective first came together, we posted a blog entitled “Americana”. This was the first time that the three of us had ever combined our imagery together into a single project.

“Americana 2″ is a look into some of the more personal images and portraits we have taken over the last year as a team. It has been a beautiful ride and we are so glad so many of you have enjoyed it with us.

Rifle Paper Company

Matt — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:56:45 +0000

A few months back we got a call from our old friend Anna Bond who runs the famous Rifle Paper Company. Long story short, she needed press photos for some upcoming magazine interviews she is doing. We were happy to oblige, so we flew down and spent a day in her studio taking pictures of her and her team.

Special thanks to Casey Friend for helping assist on this shoot.

Cotton Wedding

Ally — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:10:34 +0000

After twelve years of friendship, Weston Cotton and Blake Airdo said “I do,” and we had the privilege to photograph their beautiful wedding in the ideal location of West Palm Beach, Florida. The following are some of our favorite photographs from the celebration. Make sure to check out the bouquet… it was made out of cotton after Blake’s new last name :)

A special thanks to Derek and Lauren Bennion for all of their help and assistance during the wedding.

Renee Yohe

Two weeks ago we traveled down to our second home, Orlando, for a shoot with the fabulous Renee Yohe. This was a really fun collaborative effort that lasted into the wee hours of the night.

Special thanks go out to our amazing friends Kate Lynch (check out her blog here: http://thekatedarling.blogspot.com/) and Kasey Snavely (incredible H/M artist)

Enjoy!

We have also started to incorporate much more medium format imagery into our shoots. The images below were taken with a Yashica- A Dual Reflex camera using Provia and Velvia 120 film.

Funny Girl Lianna Carrera

Matt — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:53:02 +0000

We wish we could do justice with our words to Lianna Carrera. Not only is she a rising star in the world of comedy, but she is simply a fantastic human being. Giving life and laughter through her natural ability as a comedian, Lianna hopes to share her story and connect with people as she aspires towards becoming a force within comedy.

Initially, Lianna only had need for head-shots as she was heading to Chicago to chase her dreams. But we ended up doing several shoots with her because, quite frankly, there were just so many ways she could be captured. Below are a few our favorite frames from our time with her:

Kale Wedding

We recently had the pleasure of working with a really cool couple from GA. Their wedding was beautiful and laid back. Here are some shots from the day.

Note: We also really want to thank Chad Davis for working with us on this gig. Check out his work here: http://cargocollective.com/philipchad

Broadside

Ally — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 23:26:54 +0000

Broadside is an up-and-coming band out of Richmond, VA who we had the privilege of photographing this past weekend. From screaming at the camera to burning piñatas, this group was willing to do about anything for a great photograph. The following are some of our favorite shots from the incredibly fun shoot.

Kate and Brooks

Matt — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:59:07 +0000

Orlando is essentially a second home for us. Filled with a beautiful community of talented friends. A few days ago we spent the afternoon with two of our favorites, Kate Lynch and Brooks Potteiger (check out their work, Kate is an excellent write, Brooks a fantastic photographer).

We also were greatly aided by the exceptional styling prowess of Dana Roquemore. She not only is a talented wardrobe stylist, but also has a great vintage clothing shop you should check out: http://www.otherpeoplesproperty.com/.

Enough belaboring this post. Below are a few shots we took in downtown Orlando with Kate and Brooks. They are a little too good looking…
