David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!

Sarah Kjelleren

Once again Sarah Kjelleren comes back with another amazing photograph, this one of Marlena Tremback. This is definitely my favorite photo from this shoot and I know it's one of Sarah's as well. Here's what she had to say about the photo:

After taking my first trip to NYC ever, I was inspired even more by fashion. The people in the city were so unique in their tastes and it shows how you can really be anyone you want to be while you are there. I did a bit of shopping before the shoot and picked up some vintage apparel. Once my model Marlena Tremback arrived I dressed her up and we headed out into the cold. After trekking through the fields and the falling barn we headed over to a bamboo patch my father had planted. There I pulled out my film camera and took a few shots of Marlena in the leaves. Those can be seen on my blog (www.SarahKjelleren.com).  We then ran inside did a quick outfit change where she was able to wear her grandmothers vintage jacket, and headed out again to the "Stonehenge." The lighting was incredible and air was fresh and crisp. It was a very successful shoot, with many more to come!

Just when I thought I had made a decision on my favorite Sarah Kjelleren photo she comes out with this one to think about with the title, "Death By Riverside". Featured are models, Cat Darling and Domenick Pfau, both of which attend the same college as Sarah. One thing I'd like to point out about this photo is when I first took a look at it, it captured my emotions right away. Sarah's eye, vision, and addition of black and white really made this photo for me. This girl is amazing! Check it out below:

This photo above is the final version and TKFV is the first to hold this image on any website. Sarah's planning on entering this image in a college photography contest so we wish her luck on where this photo will end up! We have no doubt in our minds that this will go far. With talent comes success.

It's been a long time since the last "Photo of the Week" post, but a lot has happened since then. Sarah Kjelleren, TKFV's favorite photographer, has just started her freshman year across the lake at SUNY Plattsburgh in New York. We've been wishing her well while she's been over there, but we're extremely happy to keep this post going once again.

Before I start I'd like to say that this weeks photo is probably one of my all time favorites taken by Sarah Kjelleren. The leaves from the tree, shown in the picture, outline Catherine Feliz (one of Sarah's friends at SUNY Plattsburgh) face in the photo perfectly. It looks almost as if the leaves make up her hair. The use of a film camera and focus on dark colors makes this picture amazing as well. Sarah has never failed to impress me, and I doubt she ever will, but this picture continues to prove how much talent this girl has.

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week! (Wednesday)

Sarah Kjelleren & Myself

Hey, hi, hello. The "Photo of the Week" post didn't go anywhere... just went away for a little bit. So sorry for the recent absence, but it's back. This weeks photo is of Emy Geer, who I actually met the day this photo was taken. I remember Sarah was extremely excited for this one because it involved water, clothes, and the great addition of a beautiful girl. And once again Sarah did what she does best. I love the lighting and colors in this shot and the mysterious and heartbroken vibe shown. Great job once again. Check it out below:

Sarah Kjelleren calls this photo, "The Alien Ship." There is something very awry and interesting going on in this photo, but also peaceful and beautiful as well. This bright blue "Alien" cloud, which is reflected against the lake, almost takes over the whole sky. A scenic picture that took me a few moments to see what is actually going on... appropriately dubbed "The Alien Ship" for a reason. Check it out below:

This weeks photo is of the gorgeous Haley Perkins. This photo shoot was done about a week ago on the same day Gray and myself checked in with Sarah Kjelleren to take a few photos (those will be up on here soon). I love the lighting in this photo and what's also great is how beautiful of a shot this is. A beautiful girl and beautiful Vermont. What could get any better than that? Check it out below:

This weeks photo is of James Neiley, a local stylist, designer, and a recent graduate of high school. James did all the styling himself in this photo and also the rest during this shoot. I just think this photo is so dope and so simple. Nothing flashy and nothing extreme. Just another amazing photo from Sarah Kjelleren.

The photo below is from the first summer shoot done by Ms. Kjelleren so far. It features the beautiful Steph Chang, who is also a classmate of mine. What I like about this photo is that Sarah captures the emotions portrayed on Steph's face, as well as letting off a calm feeling from the background behind her. Check it out below:

Here's Week 5 of the "Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week" series. This week we're switching it up a bit and showing you one of Sarah's scenic pictures. Always nice to see nature at it's finest in Vermont, and of course Sarah captures it perfectly showing off life and color as this bee draws closer to the group of flowers. Check out Sarah's summary and picture below:

"I went outside to capture a few images of the emerging summer and snapped a few of this honey bee. I took about twenty or so to try to get it in the right spot. I was following it around as it went to the different blossoms. I sent it into the local newspaper and it made the cover! Pretty exciting, I've had over ten images on the cover of the Islander and I will be having my photography shown at the Merchants bank in South Hero for the month of June, if anyone wants to check it out!"

Below is the photo of the week taken by none other than Sarah Kjelleren. In this photo is Jake Spector and my good friend and very talented model Tereza Kacerova. The styling was done by James Neiley. Once again Sarah does an amazing job in capturing not only Tereza and Jake, but the scenery. I mean look at those bulls in the background! Before I get anymore into this though Sarah described this photo herself. I thought it was a pretty funny story actually lol, but it sounded pretty intense and dangerous too. Check it out below:

We had spent an hour on makeup and styling when my dad came into the room and said "According to the weather radar, there is a HUGE thunderstorm coming in less than five minutes and will last for a long time." At that point I grabbed an umbrella and James, I, and the models grabbed everything that looked neat and jumped into the sienna mini van and zoomed towards the nearby farm. Right as we got into the driveway, the rain started coming down. I jumped out of the van towards one of the sons working on the farm and asked him if he knew we were coming. Apparently he wasn't told, so he turned off the electric fence and let us sneak under. Between the cow poop squishing beneath our toes, the lightening overhead and a small river full of mud separating us from the cows we had an interesting experience getting the shots. It started pouring, and I had already broken my camera once by getting it wet a year earlier, so I was getting very nervous. In the back of the shot you can see that these "cows" were NOT cows, they were bulls. We went back over the small river and were COVERED in mud. Then we heard a very frighting sound coming from behind us. Bulls that were charging after us! It was so scary, Tereza started screaming and we booked it out of there! We hadn't intending on them being there. We got out just in time, and it was pouring. We loaded back into the van soaked in mud, cow poop, and rain. Overall it was a very adventurous shoot and we learned a few things. Thanks to everyone at the farm who allowed us to take pictures there!

Check it out below! I swear this girl is a genius with the camera:

Important:

Before everyone starts asking questions about this photo it was a mock car crash done at our school today. So everything you are seeing is not real, the person under the blanket is actually very alive and well lol, but their acting made the atmosphere in the air seem like it was a real accident. Sarah Kjelleren captured the emotions perfectly in this picture and it is extremely powerful. Check out this weeks photo below:
