I have a lot of photos to show off so check back often! This one comes from a few friends of mine who go mountain biking around Lawrence. They all work together at a local bike shop. It was literally done in about 5 minutes because of dwindling light and them wanting to get riding. Two bare speedlights, camera right and left.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/2819539944_4382a5959d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/2819539944_4382a5959d.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-3762969423073248882008-08-18T15:01:00.002-05:002008-08-18T15:09:24.209-05:00OverloadOne wedding + 6 seniors + Moving back to school = 1700 photos and lots of catching up!

It has been a lot of fun thus far with the seniors of 2009. I thought I would post a few shots of the seniors thus far. July is almost all booked up, so make sure you give me a ring before it too late. Also, don't forget about the deadline for senior ads in the yearbook!<br /><br />Steph<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5887.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5887.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5943.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5943.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6043.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6043.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5975.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_5975.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6092.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6092.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Chris<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6159.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6159.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6168.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6168.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6348.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/_MG_6348.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Laura<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/seniors/2009/laura5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-22416400533121743272008-06-20T16:52:00.002-05:002008-06-20T16:55:59.091-05:00Getting BusyThings sure are picking up! The Europe trip wasn't what I had hoped, but a good learning experience nonetheless. I shot Laura's photos on Wednesday and am gearing up for Chris' later today. Her photos should be up soon, they are stunning. She was definitely a natural and a joy to shoot. Her mom is a pretty good reflector holder as well! More to follow. Sessions are starting to book up, but it's not too late to get an appointment. I have been finding lots of new locations, so get them while they're hot.adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-6582507431123931022008-05-16T11:18:00.003-05:002008-05-18T21:18:48.607-05:00Europe!Ahhh, last final is today in about 2 hours. Then it is off to Manhattan for one last photo shoot. Write a paper on Sunday, State Golf tourney on Monday at Shadow Glen, Cure concert that night and off to Berlin on Tuesday evening. That makes me feel exhausted just typing about it. I will be gone until June 3rd, so please be patient on emails, I will return them ASAP. Also, I will not have my cell phone for use, so if you really need to get a hold of me, please send an email. Hopefully, everyone has received their letters and the promotional card. I can't wait to get back and to start shooting some 2009 seniors!adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-70745811586638910112008-05-06T19:26:00.004-05:002008-05-06T19:44:50.648-05:00ManhattanWell it was quite the busy weekend in Manhattan. I did a wide variety of shoots for Manhattan Magazine which is published by The Lawrence Journal World. It's pretty cool to get to meet such a wide variety of people and also try out some new techniques along the way.<br /><br />I started the weekend at the <a href="http://www.k-state.edu/butterfly/">insect zoo</a> that is on the Kansas State Campus. There were two families that came through while I was there. It is a pretty neat little place, lots of bugs and lots to learn.<br /><br />This is Kye, he was there with his Dad<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/bugs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/bugs.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />And here is a neat formation of butterflies<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/butterflies.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/butterflies.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Next, I photographed two English Language Program teachers from Kansas State who had just returned from helping set up a new program in Kabul, Afghanistan. They provided some photos of their own and I took this portrait.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/kabul.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/kabul.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Another story involves a few fountains from around the city. Here are two that I have photographed thus far.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/fountain1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/fountain1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />and another<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/fountain2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/fountain2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Finally, I finished up the trip with a little golf and a stop by Don's Railroad Hobby Shop. He was a very interesting man to speak with and hear his story. Don has been around the railroad his entire life and loves every minute of it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/don.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://adamdeanphoto.com/images/don.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Thanks for looking and don't forget to make your appointments for senior portraits! I am working on getting some new locations to shoot at that should be a lot of fun.adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-19301124928996507872008-05-01T12:28:00.004-05:002008-05-01T12:30:35.320-05:00FacebookSo I decided to make a new facebook profile, Adam Dean, to promote my photography. There is also a group, Adam Dean Photography. I started running my first facebook ad as well directed at getting some new business. I know a bunch of you are on facebook, so add me as a friend and join the group. There will be lots of discounts and freebies so keep an eye out. I did some portraits of Taylor and also his little brother. Those will be up shortly!adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-58166616848503258482008-04-25T22:50:00.002-05:002008-04-25T22:56:47.228-05:00Seniors of 2009This school year went by way too fast. I am gearing up for summer and a new crop of awesome seniors. I have been working on some new techniques and styles that should really take my photography to the next level. New equipment, new techniques, new programs, but still Adam Dean Photography. My younger brother, Alex, will be a senior this year so it should be a lot of fun shooting him and his friends. I have been working on some ads for the high school papers and also some new discount cards. Keep an eye out for those...<br /><br />We can only hope the weather starts getting better or at least a little bit more predictable :)<br /><br />I will be finishing up this year in school around the 15th and will be off to Europe for a few weeks after. Make sure you make your appointments early so that you can get the times that work around your vacation schedule!adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-63368053013559843992007-12-04T18:26:00.000-06:002007-12-04T18:39:40.221-06:00It's been awhile!Well it has definitely been awhile since my last post. Things have been going really well in the photography area and also in general. <br /><br />In November I took some pictures of Kelsey<br /><br /><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/1814116507_0f492fe728_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/1814116507_0f492fe728_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />and also of Kylie, a senior from Shawnee Mission South. <br /><br /><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/1936991669_03b944e853_o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/1936991669_03b944e853_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Everyone has been thrilled with the pictures and the word is starting to spread. I can't wait for either some snow or for spring to hurry up and get here so I can keeping shooting those seniors. I recently purchased a new Canon 5D and 24-105mm lens. It is absolutely amazing. <br />My first shoot was with Elijah for their Christmas card<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqx34LWBrnKuDJ45MNyPFRQni5XEOMCCKFq41NjCZbe1xr1REZ3RbVPJkuqJpzMk82Z2xZalxTwVk8AN8FYWfUEyBIp1vbw_TGzDtwb5NncEHbNpj2j17rWhfxoVDsLIeBhg56nsGn_K7/s1600-h/KristiFinal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPqx34LWBrnKuDJ45MNyPFRQni5XEOMCCKFq41NjCZbe1xr1REZ3RbVPJkuqJpzMk82Z2xZalxTwVk8AN8FYWfUEyBIp1vbw_TGzDtwb5NncEHbNpj2j17rWhfxoVDsLIeBhg56nsGn_K7/s320/KristiFinal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140280374851906738" /></a><br /><br />School is almost over, only one day left...adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-28205893765334417242007-10-17T14:37:00.001-05:002007-10-17T14:38:56.780-05:00UpdateCheck out my flickr site, http://www.flickr.com/photos/adh91 , to see some of my newest pictures.

I was also asked to shoot another individual game which turned out well. I have sent a bunch of prints to the printer, so hopefully those come in tomorrow. The prints have been looking amazing lately so hopefully it stays that way. AJ have been working on some tables lately and wil be painting them today. I'm leaving on Tuesday for Colorado and then when I get back I will be off to yosemite. So it will be busy, but lots of fun for me from now until school starts. Then hopefully I will get some more photo jobs and stay busy with that.adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-45885426403432237052007-07-17T18:57:00.000-05:002007-07-17T19:01:48.185-05:00TuesdayI got Kelsey's pictures done yesterday and she seems to be happy with them! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adh91/sets/72157600856404528/">See them here</a><br />I also had my first orders placed on my website, so I have been working on those along with designing some business cards.

The baseball All-Star games turned out pretty well considering the situation. Me shooting 4 games at the same time is a little tough. It makes it hard to get into a rhythm. I like to shoot sports, but on a more individualized basis. I am going to get Kelsey's pictures done tomorrow, so check back for those. I got to go caddy for my younger brother Alex today and will be doing that for most of the week. Then hopefully off to Colorado and Yosemite!adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-66519239134637521512007-07-14T13:26:00.001-05:002007-07-14T13:29:55.771-05:00AmazingThings have been going amazing lately. I put Lauren's pics up on facebook and showed them to her mom. Everyone loves them! I love it when people enjoy my photos. I then went and shot a baseball tourney. Much harder as 4 teams were playing at the same time. I am editing those right now, and will hopefully get Kelsey's pics done as well.

It went amazing, It couldn't have gone any better. Haven't looked at the pics on the computer yet, but I am sure they will be fantastic. She really enjoyed looking at them in the car. We headed up North to a few small towns she had seen while driving earlier in the week. I've always enjoyed going to new places. Pics should be up soon so check back.adamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457201229976345853.post-12612832802670500222007-07-12T01:09:00.000-05:002007-07-12T01:12:30.281-05:00WelcomeHey Everyone!<br /><br />Thanks for checking out my blog and coming to see what exciting things are going on. Well the website is almost all set-up. I am shooting an All-Star baseball tourney on Friday and Saturday, along with two senior photo shoots. Things have been going really well lately thanks to my drive and great support from my friends and family.<br /><br />I did an informal shoot with my twin cousins that stopped by yesterday so those will be the first images. Check back soon for more updates!<br /><br />Adamadamdeanphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370378693958156071noreply@blogger.com0
