Site updates

For those of you who are new to these parts, let me give you a brief introduction to the redesigned audreydodgen.com.

I’ve been fortunate, in the past year, to really narrow my focus professionally on editorial and commercial work, particularly editorial portraiture. I’ve still been able to do some documentary and news photography, but it has been really wonderful to work so often in the areas in which I prefer to specialize.

Since August I’ve been working part time for Raytheon Technical Services at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, doing simulations with Air Traffic Control students. When that ends at the end of April, I’ll be returning to full time freelance photography, focused on building my commercial and editorial client base. That will probably necessitate a move away from Oklahoma, but that’s a bridge I’ll cross when it comes and not before. For now, I’m quite happy being an Oklahoma-based editorial photographer.

So, that’s what’s new here. Please check out my new work, most of which you’ll find HERE. Keep looking to the blog for site updates and photos.

Today, I’ll leave you with this image, my great-grandmother, on the occasion of her 101st birthday (today).

OKC Arts Festival

I love the Arts Festival. Good food, beautiful art and great music. Here is Karissa Bradshaw, of the Karissa Bradshaw Trio, a wonderful performer I got to shoot last night.

Meet me in the back, by the mausoleum

One of the great things in my life is that I have friends who think it’s perfectly reasonable to spend a Monday afternoon in a cemetery, having their pictures taken. This is Matt, and he’s a funeral director, so he’s frequently in a cemetery.

Here are some highlights.

Easter portraits

I find shooting children to be challenging because I can rarely predict what they are going to do.

That said, I do like the following from this weekend.

Local band

I was invited by a local rock band, Siva Addiction, to their show Thursday night to take some photos of them performing. The band put on an amazing show, and they were incredibly hospitable. I hope I get a chance to shoot them again.

New website

If you’ve arrived here by following the link from audreydodgen.com, you’ll note that many of these images are repeats. This is because when I recently redesigned my site, I used my most recent work, much of which had been featured here.

Keep checking back for new images, and thanks for stopping by!

Portraits

I went to the south side of downtown Oklahoma City with a couple of friends, one who wanted her picture made and one who wanted to learn to use her camera. So, I shot one while teaching the other.

While we were down there, we found this fantastic old truck and shot a few with it.

Some friends

One of the neat things about shooting weddings of friends, like the one in the post below, is that I run into other friends while I’m there. Here’s a couple of fun shots while we were hanging around after the festvities.

Funeral

The Marine in the first two photographs is my dear friend Beau. He and his family graciously allowed me to photograph the graveside service for their uncle, who was himself a retired Marine.

Jonah… again

Some shots of Jonah, using the new octabox which arrived today. I’ll be using this setup to shoot a bridal portrait Thursday and wanted to have a little fun with it. I’ve also changed the format of multi-image posts a bit, to use thumbnails. Let me know which way you prefer.

Here we go again

When I first had a blog, all it contained was a collection of photos. Then, it morphed into a regular blog filled with my ramblings.

Eventually, I locked that one. Now, it’s time to revive the photo blog, this time with some commentary on the work I’m posting.

I hope you enjoy.

Best,
