Fremont Winter Feast

The Fremont Winter Feast is a winter solstice celebration put on by and for the Fremont Arts Council – the same group that puts on the Fremont Solstice Parade at the summer solstice (wow, has six months gone by already?). Here are a few shots, you will find a larger gallery on my Facebook fan page.

Burning Man iPhone App: Now Free!

Version 1.1 of my coffee table book for the iPhone – Burning Man 2008: A Photo Essay by Matt Freedman has now been released:

  • It includes post Burning Man 2009 updates to the text of my introduction, packing list, and guide to photography at Burning Man.
  • The app has now been gifted to the Burning Man community, and is available as a free download.

Also, if you or somebody you know may be interested in putting out your own coffee table book for the iPhone – either as a free app for promotional purposes, or as a paid app to make money – my platform is available for licensing. See my Monkfish Labs site for more information.

Stay tuned for updates about a Burning Man 2009 iPhone app. There is one coming, but it will be quite different than this one.

Maternity Nudes

Here are some samples from a recent maternity shoot in my studio. Some of these are shot with a black paper background, and some in the “dungeon” – the back storage room, which is technically part of the Seattle Underground.

There are also few more (non-nude) images from this shoot available on my facebook fan page (which you are highly encouraged to join if you have not done so already).

Last Summer Shoot of 2009

Based on how it feels outside today, I think the endless summer of 2009 has finally ended. But I did manage to squeeze in one final summer portrait session  last week, out on the beach at Seattle’s Carkeek Park. It was a perfect day – warm, no wind, and clear skies all the way to sunset, giving us that perfect golden hour light.

The model is a naturopathic doctor who needs the photos for her website, though the look we went for is more fashion model portfolio than business portrait. Mostly because I like to make everybody look like fashion models.
