People have often asked me, “Why did you choose the name – BoldLifestyle for your photography business?”  Normally, I tell them that it is a reminder to me to remember to be bold and get the shots that I want.  It is a reminder to me to remember there is more to photography than the technical aspects of light and angle.  This being my second year as a photographer, I wanted to start off with a bang!  I wanted to shoot what I thought BoldLifestyle felt like.  The problem is – BoldLifestyle feels like so many things.  And to portray it I needed several different people that were bold enough to be photographed in a creative and artistic way.  You see the credo of BoldLifestyle Photography is “LIVE BOLD.”  You will probably notice I put it at the end of some entries or emails.  So it is imperative that I show you – the viewer – what I mean by “LIVE BOLD” to explain how BoldLifestyle Photography thinks and feels.

This is Juli.  She is a very talented hip-hop dancer here in Washington, DC and decided to be a part of my explanation of BoldLifestyle.  I met Juli and her dance group last year at the Hip-Hop Festival.  That event was the first event my partner, Jamil, and I photographed an event together.  We had a great time!  And due to some restrictions, we also had a huge challenge of photographing moving dancers with no flash! Ha!  That was a real experience:)!  The post-production work took forever – but I digress.  Here are some images from Juli’s session as a ROCKER!  Tell me what you think…

Rocking it Out!
