WINTER PRAIRIE LANDSCAPE | FORT COLLINS COLORADO FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER

I only moved to Fort Collins Colorado seven months ago. The landscape is so inspiring to me! I love visiting Coyote Ridge Prairie and seeing how the landscape changes with the seasons. I shot some Portra 160 with my Pentax 6x7 in October and you can see that here: Coyote Ridge Fort Collins Landscape During the New Year's holidays, the weather was warm and great for a walk.

GARDEN OF THE GODS COLORADO SPRINGS | LANDSCAPES COLORADO | PENTAX 6×7 AND PORTRA 160

For my recent birthday weekend, we took a sightseeing trip to Colorado Springs to see the Garden of the Gods.

A new photography service that I am offering is personal commissions of fine-art film photography. This can be of homes, nature, landscapes, pets...anything…

OLD HOLLYWOOD STYLE GLAMOUR PORTRAITS - FINE-ART FILM PHOTOGRAPHY BY LISA O’DWYER

I am in love with Old Hollywood still photography... the poses, the costume and make-up, the lighting, and the look of film. I wanted to practice a little with lighting and B&W; film to recreate the look of a George Hurrell or Ruth photograph from the studios of the 30s and 40s. My friend was my lovely model for the afternoon. Isn't she stunning? Portraits captured in an Old Hollywood style and shot on beautiful traditional black & white film…
