548 - Upswell Studio

Think I’m getting addicted to the portrait life. Third shoot in a row? Unheard of.

But don’t worry I’m not fully transitioning to the genre. Just dabbling for a bit. I’m stuck in Denver for a few weeks saving some money to travel this fall, and I’ve already shot every notable landscape within 50 miles of the metro area. So here I am. Stuck shooting hot girls.

Portrait Slam was the name of the game today. It’s basically a meetup where 30+ models get to collab with 30+ photographers. Kind of like speed dating for portraits. You got around 10-15 minutes with each model, then rotate to the next one.

Again, no fancy write-up today because portraits. I’d gossip the whole time and no one wants that.

I narrowed this post down to my top 9 shots. Sure, I got a lot more. But these are the best of the best. Because you deserve it:
