My Lame Attempt at Acting

Blake Beus | Friday, March 4th, 2011

My wife and I recently had the opportunity…nay the privilege to hang out with fellow photographer Ciara Richardson and her husband Brett.  If you haven’t seen her portrait and wedding photography, definitely check it out.    Brett and I decided to try something we had seen in a photoshoot over at My Modern Met. We came up with a few scenarios and decided to try our hand at acting it out.  Since Ciara beat me to the punch, and already typed out the scenarios next to the corresponding image, I’m just going to borrow hers.  I hope she doesn’t send me a DCMA take down notice.

Dataprom : Salt Lake City, Utah

Blake Beus | Thursday, February 24th, 2011

What do you get when you mix a very creative corporate event, a white wall, an osculating fan, and a photographer?   If you are still unsure see below.

Datamark asked us to photograph their annual Data Prom held at the Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Let me just say that this was easily the coolest corporate event that I’ve ever attended.  The party was themed as a 90′s prom, and yes, I was reminded of the two awkward proms that I attended in 1998 and 1999.  They asked us to come up with some cheesy and fun photography “booths” that the party goers use to immortalize the evening.  As perfect as the evening was there were 2 things that I found slightly disappointing.  First, Chuck Norris did not attend.  I thought for sure he would instinctively know about an event this awesome and attend even though he wasn’t invited.  Second, I didn’t see a single pair of JNCO Jeans.   C’mon, was I the only person that grew up in the 90′s?

Fall Casualties

Blake Beus | Monday, February 21st, 2011

So…I’ve been told many times that I’m distracted by shiny objects.  I think its more accurate to say that I’m distracted by bright objects.  While shooting a family portrait I walked past the same spot several times.  Each time I spotted this bright read leaf in the midst of mud, asphalt, and sticks.  I just had to snap a pic.  Who knew that years later I’d stumble across it and still get distracted by it.

Moral of the story…don’t forget to look down.  You might find something interesting.

Dusty and Aleesha Family Portraits : SLC Utah

Blake Beus | Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

I don’t know what my deal is, but I’ve really been into playing around with black and white photography.   Maybe it’s because I’m surrounded by so many colors each day that it actually gives my brain a break.

Festa Dei Folli Masquerade Ball

Blake Beus | Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

In the last few years, Halloween has become my favorite holiday.  Last year my wife made our whole family Avatar The Last Air Bender costumes (she is quite the seamstress).  Well, technically my twin girls were flowers, but hey, I’m pretty sure that there were flowers somewhere in that TV series.

This year we decided to kick it up a notch and organize a masquerade ball.  We dubbed it it Festa Dei Folli (festival of fools).  What a ton of fun!  I wanted to share some pictures of the event.  We are planning on doing it again next year and making it even better.  SWEET!

Oh yea…I love fisheye lenses.
