Brains! 5000+ Brain brains! BRRRRAAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSSS! BRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAIIIINNNNNSSSSSS!

Brains.

Sorry for the long wait everyone! The SGMS photos are finally available! I'd write something about what a great time I had working with you all, what beautiful models and designs I was witness to all night long, how well I thought everything ran (no small feat with that many designers and models!), what a wonderful job the makeup artists and stylists in making everyone so pretty, and a bunch of other really nice things but I'M SO TIRED. My apologies. I'll try to be more eloquent tomorrow after I've slept. For now, I will simply allow my images to do the talking for me.

BUT before you go getting all link-clicky, here's the fine print stuff that you should read first.
You CAN download the images from my flickr account and use them in your online portfolio, on your Facebook, Myspace, Blogspot, Facespace, Mybook, and Myblagofacespacebook.
You CAN NOT crop the image in such a way that when it is viewed fullscreen my watermark is missing. I accept that this will happen with small icons.
You CAN print them out for whatever reason, but I really don't recommend it as the images on this site are low quality.
You CAN contact me about getting a high resolution copy of the image, I have very reasonable prices for student designers and models.
You CAN become a fan of my work over on Facebook because you think I rock, but that's up to you. ;)
You CAN totally contact me if you are a stylist or makeup artist and would like your work to be tagged on Flickr. Just let me know which images models you worked on appear in.
You CAN contact me if you're looking for portraits, headshots or any other portfolio-building images taken. Information on that here.
You CAN also contact me if you're looking for a wedding photographer, because I do that as well. That information is here.
You CAN see most of these same designers showing new designs, as well as an incredible show at "Children of the Revolution" put on by The Libertine Asylum. Register early before tickets are gone!
You CAN all be totally awesome people that I'm happy to be able to work with.

That is all! Now go! Enjoy!

(insert text here about the absolutely gorgeous wedding of my beautiful cousin Jaclyn and her incredibly awesome husband Cam, that was held in one of the most amazing places I've ever had the pleasure to visit. This text would be here if I wasn't so incredibly tired and dreading having to be up in a few hours.)

Enjoy!

Selected images from the entire set can be seen here: My flickr account

BTW, if you like my photos you can become a fan of my work here on Facebook.
If you or someone you know is looking for a wedding photographer, you can find my information on my wedding site.

Good news! Although the original five slots in the Libertine Asylum fundraiser special have been filled, it has been extended by two slots! To make it even more awesome, whoever gets these two extra slots will have their photos taken by the amazingly talented Carla H of Fairshadow Photography! Fairshadow Photography is a frequent collaborator of both Photosynthetique and the Libertine Asylum, and you can find out more about Carla's work here: http://fairshadowphoto.com/

She's an incredible photographer and she's going one further by offering these two extended slots at a deep discount of just $40 for the same two hour special! So if you're not already committed to 1 of the initial 5 slots, this is your last chance to get portraits done at an unbelievable price. Contact me via email, phone or FB message, or contact Carla at ladyfairshadow@gmail.com. I'll keep everyone updated as these slots fill up!

Thanks everyone!

To help support the Libertine Asylum's November event entitled "Children of the Revolution", I am offering a special discount on my services.

Any standard portraiture shoot, on location or in studio for two hours. Just $50. This is a $140 value. I only have five slots open, and I will be updating this post as they are taken. Your purchase of this time will not only get you beautiful pictures, but also help support alternative fashion in Minnesota!

Note that even if you choose studio, there are many great locations immediately around the studio itself where we can shoot so that you have a variety of both studio and location photos! Whatever your idea may be, I look forward to making it a reality with you!

I can be contacted via email (drayke@photosynthetique.com), phone (612-703-5125), or via Facebook message (Photosynthetique on Facebook.).

Update 10.04.09: Only one slot left! Now's the time to email, Facebook message or call if you're interested!

All slots taken! See new post for information!
