April Wagner breathes life into glass to create things of beauty. Through her company, Epiphany Studios in Pontiac, Michigan (also on Facebook), she creates a variety of fine art glass sculptures and other items. Last November April saw my presentation for the Detroit Pecha-Kucha Night, Volume 6 at the Detroit Film Theatre in the DIA (Detroit Institute of Art) . Shortly thereafter she friended me on Facebook, “liked” my business page and, just recently, contacted me about photographing a piece of her work, the very modern, avant garde chandelier pictured below.
I was happy to get the assignment because I hadn’t taken the opportunity to do this kind of shooting in a long while. I wasn’t sure what to expect, stepping outside of portrait and fashion/glamour groove I’ve been in, but I knew this would be a good exercise for me if nothing else. Besides, April seemed like crazy cool people and she complimented my photography. Winner.
This is quick summary of what I was able to capture that day. I’m happy with how it turned out. I decided to leave the flash in the bag for this one and break out the tripod instead to let the natural light and glow from the lamps carry the day.
So it turns out Epic Images will photograph your fine are pieces too. Use the ‘Contact‘ link under “Info” at the top of this page (right at the bottom too) to inquire about rates and availability. Don’t forget to take advantage of the referral and social media bargains mentioned in an earlier post!
