Double Exposure In Camera Art with Port Huron, MI Photographer - AJBC Photography

As humans I feel as though we have a really important role to play in Nature.

We shouldn't fight it, or be above it, we should be one with it. 

See, alone, we are still a part of the Earth, it's hidden inside us, it makes up who we are; we are strong individuals who hold unique traits, shapes, stories, and souls. Just like Nature, we grow, we root ourselves, we look up to the sky, and one day we all exhale with both feet on the ground, forever planted. 

But when we seek to live and indulge ourselves in nature, we no longer stand alone, and that is a very beautiful thing. Beauty in a way we may never fully understand, for the vastness of it goes beyond just ourselves. 

It's raw at every level. 

And it lets us know we can become a part of something bigger, with no judgements, just simplicity at it's purest and most beautiful form. 

This series demonstrates that coming together through Double Exposure of Human and Nature.

All Double Exposure images were done IN camera, no editing or photoshop work has been done to achieve these looks.

Meet Raquelle. 

My main purpose of the shoot was to get beautiful Double Exposure images that told the story of Human Exposure and Nature. But once I saw how gorgeous she was all on her own, I knew we had to at least get a few shots showing that. Nothing distracting, not even professional hair and makeup, or a specific wardrobe. Just her and the camera. Natural Beauty.

I can never help myself from going outside though. And as of late, I really know where my heart belongs when it comes to who I am when I create, and Nature plays a very large part in that. I don't know what I would do if clients confined me to a studio for the rest of my days. 
Who wants to miss out on natural, literally, all the way around, natural beauty like this?

The mask. 
That mask that will ensure happiness for others and perfection on your part. That beautiful mask that makes everyone smile. That mask that keeps you safe. 

That mask also keeps you barely breathing and clouds your vision.

"Pose with that mask, my little bunny. You wear it so well," they say. 

Until one day you peal back the corner. You dare to breath easy. You see the ground you walk upon, for real, for the first time. And you can't stop. 

You feel that cool air hit your face and you wonder.... 

"What have I done?"
The light, it's bright. The noises, they are loud. 
And that feeling of safety is gone. 

Time to turn back. Time to ensure no one will ever have to know you tried to go against them. Time to make them happy again. Them.... Happy.... 

But. The colors. They are so bright. And you feel so alive. 
And them, and you, and them and you, and what about.... you? And your happiness? 
How could they keep you trapped like this? 
Ask them.
"How could you?"
And I ask you, to ask yourself, "How could you?"
You wore that mask like they asked you to. 
Shame on you. 

I say drop it. 
I ask you to let it all go. 

Breathe. Live. Look. Feel. 
And burn the mask. 
 

You wear that face of yours so well.

Health Coach Mel for Spicy Roots

This was such a fun project! I love sitting down with people, hearing about their goals, their visions, but more importantly I LOVE hearing about their dreams. It's literally a high for me. Grab a cup of coffee, get be a notebook, and you have no clue what’s about to happen. Mel is the same way so when we got together for our first meeting, ideas exploded.

She came to be when her business was brand new, ready to brand it and look professional right off the bat. SO SO smart of her!
When we sat down we talked about colors, branding, image, and most importantly- how she wanted to help people. Because at the end of the day, that’s EXACTLY what Mel does. She helps people. She helps them get organized, get healthy, and honestly, stay sane with concentration on mind, body, and soul.
See what we did for her here, hitting on the 4 main focuses of her business:
professionalism and personable
strengthening your body
paying attention to your overall health
feeding your soul and mind
This girl is going places.
