A walk in the woods with an Elf | Photographer Ruth Shepherd

Posted in News

I’m a bit of a geek. Okay, I’m a bit of a big geek. Lots and lots of bits of me are geeky. Geek R Me. I’ve spent time at conventions like MegaCon celebrating the geekiness that is Sci-Fi, comic books, you name it. I enjoy things like video games and fiction books, the Steampunk sub-sub-genre, and I’ve recently sewn a couple of costumes for nothing but the pure fun of having a Victorian bustle.

With that confession out of the way, let me introduce you to another geeky friend of mine, Amanda. She created a Lord of the Rings-esque elven costume, and somewhere down the road we decided we needed to do a themed shoot around her costume. When we found out Ft. Clinch up in Fernandina Beach was already closed for the night, we headed to Big Talbot Island. Here’s the results of that EPIC time spent on the beach:

I’m a LOTR geek too! Love the shots of her with the trees in the background. And Amanda makes a beautiful, fierce looking Elf!

Her outfit is awesome! I love the idea of this shoot – celebrating your inner geek. And the photos are wonderful – a little fun, a little beautiful. Fabulous!

GEEKED OUT and I LOVE it!

What a cool idea for a shoot, you should totally do more geek themed stuff more often!

There was a summer that LOTR was on my second computer screen 100% of the time on repeat…. so this is so up my ally. Killer concept and uber cool execution. You get a big “e-high-five” from me.

What a wonderful portrait session! I love the use of flare. The lighting is perfect despite the difficult lighting conditions!

Yay for geeks!!! (I’m getting ready to go to Ren Fest Michigan in a couple of days, myself!) This was an awesome idea, I love the first shot!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Love these shots. You have managed to take a subject like elves and avoid the cheese pics like this always seem to emanate lol

Oh and that last big image is so creamy light goodness!
