Morgan Chidsey Photography

0 Commentsby   |  12.06.12  |  Announcements

This is a photographer named Morgan Chidsey that I actually grew up with. She just finished studying photography in Paris for a semester, working for Vogue Paris in her free time while she was there. Something I find really interesting about her style is the softness of the light captured in the images. I know a lot of textures and colors can be altered post-production, but the way in which she does these things really sets her images apart. There’s a distinctly edgy meets vintage feel in most of her portraits and the fashion photography. She has some interesting still life shots though, some of which she focuses on her Jewish heritage, which is pretty cool to see.

Here’s a link to the main photo blog, you can get to all of her books from here: http://morganchidsey.com/

Here are some of her published pieces:

    Oh my goodness, these colors are so beautiful. I guess the closest thing we have to this in America is the Color Run marathon…I’ll be doing that in the spring, I may have to go to another one just to photograph it! They use dyed corn starch instead of the pigments used in India. So cool

    This is so great! It looks like something that belongs on an album cover. I, too, will be trying this over Christmas break. It’s almost ghostly the way people look in these images. There’s a lot that could be done with that.

    This technique still really fascinates me. It’s sad that our world is moving further away from devices that can create beauty like this, rather it has to be added electronically long after the beautiful moment (and that moment’s inspiration) has passed.

    How incredible! I can’t imagine the time and patience it took to capture such awesome photos of these animals. I loved how much movement each image had- there always seemed to be a next direction depicted, and that really makes this “more than human” portfolio stand out.

    I would never have thought to try this method. That’s so cool, but I would be nervous to try it! I’m too clumsy, and I would hate to drop a lens. I’ve done some tilt shift projects but they’ve always been enhanced post-production, which actually looks strikingly similar to the effect done by “free-lensing”.

    I do enjoy this type of photography and I think there’s something dynamic about the center framed images (even though it seems as though it would not fall under the covering of the “rule of thirds”). It definitely looks like Free People. There’s certainly an eclectic element to the images, however it almost strikes me as having a style largely dependent upon post-production graphic elements.
