Eastin's: A Little Family

2010-05-26T18:25:00.001-07:00

Family pictures do not have to be lame. All you need is my back yard, random dresser drawers sitting in my neighbors drive way for the last year, a 10 year old water barrel, and a cool family that is up for anything.

I have been wanting to do the bird in trees idea for a while. I hope you can tell those red things are birds? You can right?

Control

2010-05-19T17:40:00.001-07:00

This picture and the series bellow are senior pictures. I love it when clients give me the artistic freedom to let me do anything I want. When clients allow me to take complete create control, the pictures turn out better than we both anticipated.

SNOW PUPPY

2010-01-29T20:52:00.000-08:00

Olive loves the snow so we threw her on our backs and hit the trails. When we let her down, she dives right into he snow. When her tinny paws get cold, she runs back to us and jumps up and down so that we can put her into the bag pack.

Olive is 9 months old and only 5 pounds. We take her every where with us and everyone has to pet and hold her, she loves it. She is a mini pin Chihuahua mix. I hated dogs and never ever thought I would have one. I hated them because they shed, slobber, poop, bark like crazy, have bad breath and scare me. Olive is not really a dog she is like an over sized mouse. The shedding: I have a lint roller on hand at all times. Slobber: She does not slobber. Do little dogs slobber? I dont think so. Poop: We have her house trained (except the accident she had at my sisters the other morning, sorry guys). I wipe her down with baby wipes every time she goes poop. Barking: She only barks when some one comes to the door. Bad breath: We have dogie breath spray for that.

Olives nick names: Pup, Puppy Wup, Baby Olive, Pupa Reno, Reno, Stinky Stinky, Sleepy Sleepy, Sneaky Sneaky, Wiener, Weasel, Weas Ma Geeze, Geezers and the lasted Paper Pooper because she pooped out a big long piece of paper the other day.

BABY AVA

2010-01-20T14:49:00.000-08:00

My sister Giuliana's new baby,.

Ava looks peaceful but every time we put her down she cried her cute little face off. The shoot lasted a few more hours than we thought. It was well worth it.

RACHEL'S CUTE LITTLE FAMILY

2010-01-13T19:23:00.000-08:00

When my dearest friend Rachel came to me to take her family pictures I wanted to do something different. I am so sick of seeing family pictures taken in front of colored walls or an abandoned buildings in Provo. I decided that a weird stuffed gazelle and a fake forest would be the best solution.

THREE YEARS DOWN ETERNITY TO GO

2010-01-11T16:16:00.000-08:00

For our anniversary Brad and I went on a snowshoeing tour. It was the first time shoeing for both of us. I ski and Brad has only been snow boarding a few times. Snowshoeing seemed like the best winter activity we could do together. We had such a neat time we bought snowshoes the next day. We recently annihilated Snake Creek Canyon in Midway. Snowshoeing is great because you can hit flat terrain or you can go straight up the mountain and have a more intense work out.

Look how cute Brad is.

Three Graces

2010-01-06T20:44:00.001-08:00

These painting were my inspiration behind my photographic version of the Three Graces. The bottom painting is by Botticelli. The middle painting is by Raphael. The three graces are typically grouped so that the two outer figures face the viewer, and the one in the middle faces away. This is a traditional composition, known and copied by the Renaissance. Florentine Philosophers of the 15th century saw them as three phases of love: beauty, arousing desire, leading to fulfillment; alternatively, as the personification of Chastity, Beauty and Love.

In my version of the Three Graces the women appear to be greek statues. I wanted my statues to appear soft, yet stiff and frozen at the same time. To achieve graceful movements, I choose a ballet dancer as my model. I used a plain black back ground so the statues would pop out and be the main focus.

I know I know I get real serious when I talk art

ENGAGEMENTS

2009-08-15T00:13:00.000-07:00

Angela and Jared are so great for trusting me to do whatever I wanted. The night this was shot was rainy and windy, not good condition to have lighting equipment outside. Not to mention I have a huge fear of being socked by lighting equipment when its not wet outside. We thought we were going to have to cancel.

The owl and birdcage, I wanted to do before I even met with Angela to discuss the pictures. When I told her about my bird idea she was sold on it. She told me she has always had this thing for owls. There is an owl theme throughout the wedding. On Jared and Angela's invitations is a illustration of an owl. They also order a 3d owl cake.

2009-08-06T19:24:00.001-07:00

My sister just found out that she is having a baby girl (child number 4). I cant wait to see how cute this baby is. I dont know how the baby can be as adorable as these 3. These kids are the cutest.

Powell

2009-07-21T16:24:00.001-07:00

Brads first time in Powell. Nothing more needs to be said

A Day In The Life Of Brad, Day 18: The Powell Ripper

2009-07-06T22:01:00.000-07:00

The Ripper was a graphic from the 80's for the Powell skate team the Bones Brigade. The Ripper is one of the most famous and bootlegged image in skateboard history. Brad drew this in Illustrator, then screen printed it. Brad has waited about five years to make this shirt and so he made about ten of them. To learn more about the Ripper watch this video

The day In The Life of Brad, Day 18: 4th Of July Fun With The Family

2009-07-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

Brad and I started the 4th with a lovely breakfast at my mom and dad's house. My mom made KILLER french toast with a butter milk syrup.

We did a little shopping with my sister Guiliana to buy my niece and nephew new clothes. Brad liked picking out little outfits for our nephews.

We went to my brother in laws parent's house, I swam while Brad took a nap in a hammock. It was around this time Brad began getting a heat rash.

As the sun went down, we did a photo shoot of Guiliana's kids. Brad and I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever. Brad and I love their little faces. This includes my niece Kenadie who was not there.

Brad ended his 4th of July in bed with a fan on his heat rash.

A cheesie side note: 5 years ago on July 4, I told Brad I loved him for the first time

The Day In The Life of Brad, Day 15: Fog

2009-06-30T23:34:00.000-07:00

Brad going to town with the fog machine.

Brad helped me on a photo shoot for my lovely friend Angela and her husband to be Jared. The fag machine makes every photo shoot better

The Day in the life of Brad Continues, Day 14: A Day Trip To Bryce Canyon

2009-06-29T20:40:00.001-07:00

It has been a while but The Day In The Life Of Brad is back my friends. Brad is back from Kansas City, so the glorious series will continue.

I have lived in Utah my whole life and never been the Bryce Canyon. It was a solid time. There was a huge storm that hit the canyon that day, hail was involved. Im 99 percent sure that storm was the case of my pneumonia for the past two weeks. Worth it.

Good Bye Dear Friend.... Remember Us Always

2009-06-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

These pictures were a present for our friend Brett Sykes. He was deported back to his home land Canada. We wanted to give Brett something that he could remember his best friends by.We also wanted Brett to show his Canadian friends what people in Utah look like.

This is the life

A day in the life of Brad: Day 13, Baby Lemon Shark At The Beach

2009-05-26T19:11:00.000-07:00

The ocean in South Carolina is so warm you can swim in it all day and never want to get out. I think its much cleaner and warmer than the west coast.

A day at the beach in Hunting Island, South Carolina. Next to Brad is a baby lemon shark

A day in the life of Brad, Day 11: Star gazing with a lover

2009-05-21T23:20:00.000-07:00

Brad spent the night star gazing with his lover.

A day in the life of Brad, Day 10: Brads new apparel

2009-05-20T18:59:00.001-07:00

Brad has been on the hunt for white nike high tops for 2 months, he struck gold.

A day in the life of brad, Day 8: Home Delivery

2009-05-18T23:23:00.000-07:00

Brad left work early to come home and bring me lunch because I am sick today. He worked from home the rest of the day. He brought me the greatest tomatoe basil soup from flour boys and dough girls.

This is going to sound lame but one of the great things about being married is having your spouse take care of you when your sick.

Who else would clean the toilet in between throw up sessions when you have the stomach flu and you have lost total control over both ends? Who else would cover you with a blanket when your passed out on the bathroom floor because your to weak to make it back to bed?

A day in the life of brad, Day 7: True Love My Friends

2009-05-17T00:04:00.000-07:00

It is 1:00 am so technically it is day 7.

I have been sick lately, so being the Southern gentleman that Brad is, he has taken the couch for the past few days (also he does snore so he takes the couch often).

Look at him curled up almost falling off the couch, butt hanging out of his shorts as usual. This is when you know its true love my friends, sacrificing a king size bed.

What I dont understand is: Why is Brad sleeping in those shorts? He had on his tight black plants all day, look at day 6 picture. Instead of changing in to pajama bottoms, he changed into his normal everyday shorts and then went to bed in them? It is one thing if he had those shorts on all day, but thats not the case. Guess Ill get to the bottom of this in the morning.

A day in the life of brad, Day 6: A date with 2 lovely ladies

2009-05-16T22:46:00.000-07:00

Brad took out two lovely ladies Saturday night. My Mom, Brad and I went to The Springville Art Museum where I received an award for my picture titled The Cook.

Half that award should go to Brad. He has practically been on every photo shoot with me. He makes a great assistant.

Brad your the tops buddy.

A day in the life of brad, Day 5: Detox

2009-05-15T09:39:00.000-07:00

Brad started a two week cleanse to rid his body from sugar, caffeine and carbohydrates. On this cleanse he can eat a lot of proteins. He went to coastco and bought fish filet, shrimp, nuts, eggs, soy beans and broccoli.

I have a feeling the no sugar is going to be a doozy.

I on the other hand am off to work at Dippidee and to cover my body in sugar. www.Dippidee.com

A day in the life of brad, Day 4: Arachnophobia

2009-05-14T16:13:00.000-07:00

Brad has a slight fear of spiders but I have an even bigger fear. By default Brad will end up killing the spiders. After he smashes the spider, he lets out a SQUEAL every time.

Everyone has seen Brads crack, from my grandmother, to his professors at school, to strangers pointing and laughing as Brad bends over to load the car.

I am aware that this is horrible in more than one way, but the quality of the image is really bad. I had to hurry and grab the camera. The settings are not on at all.

A day in the life of brad, Day 3: Uncle Brad

2009-05-13T11:15:00.002-07:00

Brad and I baby sat my sisters kids yesterday. Our nephew Enzo who just turned 6 got a skate board for his birthday. Uncle Brad was teaching him how to ride it. Brad has a huge soft spot for our nieces and nephews.

Everyone who knows Brad knows that he is the sweetest, nicest person you will ever meet. His is my Southern sweet potatoe pie. People assume, based on the way he dresses that he will act like jerk, but that is the farthest from the truth.

A day in the life of Brad, Day 2: Some shut eye & a tumble

2009-05-12T10:17:00.000-07:00

Sleep interrupted.

Basking in the sun

Brad enjoying my company at breakfast.

The Day in the life of Brad

2009-05-11T19:21:00.001-07:00

These pictures sparked an idea for a series called A day in the life of Brad. Ill be capturing Brads everyday events. Let me just give you a background on Brad. Brad grew up in South Carolina or as i like to call it Souf Carolina. Growing up in the Souf from the stories i have heard, is not normal. One day while attending chemistry class in Souf Carolina Brad was lit on fire by some fellow class mates dew to the fact that he was the minority. Funny and sometimes bazar events seem to follow brad. A few weeks ago during the last snow storm, Brad was running to catch the bus and slipped and fell into a puddle of ice water. The bus driver sow that Brad was soaking wet and pulled over to let him on. Brad heard some ladies in the back of the bus whisper " great now we are going to be late". ( ha ha that is so rude) When Brad got to work he called me to bring him some dry clothes. Now i know what mothers fell like when their children pee their pants at school.

I will post new pictures everyday about brads adventures.

I dont know where this series will go but we will see what events unfold in: A day in the life of Brad

The first BBQ of the summer

2009-05-11T19:08:00.001-07:00

Well folks summer is on. This was the first of many BBQ's to come this summer at the Trinnaman home, so friends get your meat ready because there are good times ahead.

I WON 2nd PLACE

2009-05-06T20:52:00.000-07:00

I entered my picture The Cook into the Spring Salon at the Springville Art Museum. My picture was selected to be in the show and i received second place over all. Over 1,100 works of art were entered, only 23% were chosen to be hung in the show. This year they had the most entries the Spring Salon has ever had. I am extremely honored to be in the show with such veteran artists as: Brian Kershisnik www.kershisnik.com (Who's painting is on the left of mine) and Sunny Belliston www.sunnybellistonart.com. I am a huge fan of both those artists.

I was so determined that I was not going to get into the show, that i didnt take the time to price my work high enough. I am so exited to see a "commercial" photography be worthy enough to be hung in a museum and be considered "fine art".

That is my friend Brett in the picture.

Final Product

2009-04-24T20:54:00.001-07:00

I still have not figured out a great way to get the white paint onto the model smoothly and evenly. I tried an air brush but the paint was to thick and kept clogging on me. So A LOT of photoshop work went into this.

Behind the scenes look

2009-04-24T20:39:00.000-07:00

This is a behind the scenes look at my latest photo shoot. This is a continuation of my statue series. (see older posts to look at my other greek statue) I did the make up for this shoot and I missed my friend and make up artist Rachel Hunter who does the hair and make up for all my shoots. My friend and model Trent sacrificed his body hair in order to represent a Greek Statue.

2009-03-28T12:55:00.000-07:00

My friend Trent and i were chosen to represent UVU in a state photography competition. Trent won the gold and i took home the bronze. We had to ware those stupid red blazers that made us look like we were taking the competition way more seriously then we actually did.

Brad was chosen from UVU to enter the screen printing competition, he won the gold metal. Brad is now going to nationals for the second time. Trent and brad will be going to nationals together.

Before Photoshop and After

2009-03-10T18:29:00.000-07:00

I just wanted everyone to see the before and after photoshop.
