Self Portrait: OLIPHANT | PHOTOGRAPHER

This self-portrait was taken at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, Boulder City. I love the texture of the old wood and the three windows brought me back to the Rule of Thirds, a rule that I never really gave much credence. The Art of Photography is subjective, so make your own rules!

Evolving: OLIPHANT | PHOTOGRAPHER | Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

The New Year is upon us and I've been contemplating a few things in reference to Oliphant | Photographer that I'd like to share. A couple of weeks ago I posted a status on facebook that read, "Frank, we gotta expand..." this was a reference to one of man's all-time favorite movies "Scarface." Essentially my goal for 2011 and beyond is to not only to concentrate on weddings, but expand my brand into family portraits and corporate headshots. In the last few weeks of 2010 I had the opportunity to shoot the aforementioned, one of which I shared below. Both experiences pretty much cemented my decision, so with that said I'd like to re-intorduced my website with a new cleaner design and few add-ons for our expansion. We also added and html site that is iPhone/iPad friendly. Just click on the portrait below! Thanks for stopping by and hope 2011 brings you success and happiness.

Big Love,

Three Cameras and Miranda | Oliphant Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I got together with a couple of photographer friends to do a test shoot in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas. We primarily discussed lighting, depth of field and the use of lens flare to add dynamics to a photograph. Fellow Chicagoan Miranda Stephanie sat for us and as always, she brought the goods...check out the boots at the end of this post!

Special thanks to Myron Hensel and Hardy Nance for hangin and talking shop with me on this Sunday afternoon and a very special thanks to Miranda Stephanie and her Manolo Blahnik boots!

Big Love,

Oliphant
