Billy Sheahan Photography December 2009 Postcard
“I’m not sure if I got it. Maybe we should try one more.” The look on my model’s face said otherwise. She wasn’t a smoker, just pretending to be one for the shoot. The great thing about shooting digitally is you can see what you have instantly. The bad thing about shooting digitally is that [...]
Billy Sheahan Photography November 2009 Postcard
In the mid 1940s, Paris, France was struggling to regain it’s footing as the fashion capital of the world. Materials and fabric shortages, not to mention food shortages, conspired to drive Parisien designers to near extinction. In 1945, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue hired Richard Avedon to photograph the Paris Collections in the way it was [...]
Chicago and New Orleans and everything in between
Well it’s turning out to be a busy and productive Fall here at Billy Sheahan Photography. Lots of long days but plenty to show for it. I’ve been shooting like someone’s going to take away my camera. Incredibly prolific time these days. Everything from beauty to music to advertising and even a television commercial. And [...]
Billy Sheahan Photography July 2009 Postcard
As the old song goes… “Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’, into the future…” Where has the summer gone already? It’s gone into a prolific amount of work, happily. New adventures and new inspiring muses. One of the new models I have been fortunate enough to begin working with is Asphyxia. Of all the women [...]
NY2-398
For the better part of the day today, that was me. NY2-398. Apparently I can’t say much more about what this means exactly, because I signed a lot of paperwork agreeing not to. What I can tell you is that I spent a lot of time with some amazing artists in Greenwich Village for about [...]
The Embarrassment of Photography Riches Week
It seems like everything is arriving late in Chicago this year. We’re all still wondering if we’re done with rainy 50 degree days yet and it’s mid June. And I finally got a few days of freedom for the first time in I can’t remember how long. My Memorial Day Holiday had to wait until [...]
Billy Sheahan Photography July Postcard… better late than never
I’ve been doing a lot of fashion shooting lately. It’s always intriguing to make interesting photography of beautiful clothes on a lovely model. Clothes are always a challenge because I have to find the right balance between making sure the clothes are really prominently featured, but at the same time making a compelling photograph as [...]
Ciao Bella – dolce MODA @ MOCAD
I’m finally catching up with my life after the little Detroit adventure for the Ciao Bella dolce MODA MOCAD fashion show. I drove up on Thursday, pretty much stayed up all night and drove back early the next morning. It was an incredible time. My amazing friend and fab hairstylist Jessica James invited me up [...]
Caio Bella
A quick one tonight. I’m off to the Motor City tomorrow to shoot a fashion show at MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit). A fabulous stylist friend of mine called Jessica is doing all the hair for the show and in the midst of one of my busiest summers I can remember, I managed to [...]
A Great Birthday!
I’m starting French class again tomorrow, so I have to get back to studying, but I couldn’t let too much time go by without posting a couple of amazing images from my birthday shoot with Morgan. Once again, she was stunning. So many great images to choose from, but this will be a taste. Clothes [...]
Mon grand ami Jillian
Well as much as I hate to ween myself out of my Paris state of mind, there are other things going on these days. In fact there is nothing better than coming back from an amazing trip to Paris and have Jillian Ann arriving a few days later. Très bon! (See, I’m still in Paris [...]
