Bannack PortraitsBannack, Montana is a proper ghost town in every sense

of the word. Abandoned? Check. Ghost stories? Check.

Creepy premonitions in certain houses? Check. I brought

some models with me and we took pictures with a variety of

lighting--both natural and unnatural (flashes, reflectors, and

strobes). Nothing supernatural, though.

I also took these photos in

Bannack. I used Adobe Photoshop to

help me figure out my vision of a floating

“ghost”, and the place where she was

‘born’. I was inspired by the story a guide

told us about a girl who drowned in

the river and was later seen by her

sister in the hotel.

The Ties that Bind

Moving Forward

I have loved flowers for as long as I

can remember. In the beginning of

my journey as a photographer, I often

chose them for my subjects, because

I could get close, and they would

stay still. Flowers are a great

reminder for me that life &

beauty are fleeting, and that

it’s okay to stop & smell the

roses--if I get a picture first.

Say It, With Flowers

ShallowFocus

Macro

HDRHDR is a special technique where I take multiple

exposures of the same photo, and combine them

in Adobe Photoshop for a more color-rich image.

I took the image below in Bannock, Montana, and

the image to the right in Glenwood, Utah.

Portraits

... and FreezeI remember the first time I was able to

capture motion on my camera without it looking

like a blurry mess. I was so excited to understand

how shutter speed works. Photography is

about keeping a single moment forever,

and I love seeing the blur of action and

the intimate instant of a frozen

second in time.

Perspectives of 12 Christmas Display

An exciting part

of the photography process

is choosing a subject. Finding

unique perspectives of the same

subject (in this case, a Christmas

display) can be a fun challenge.

I only used natural lighting to

achieve these images.

Camille Du ParI fell in love with photography about the same time “selfie” became a

word in the dictionary. Taking pictures lets me share my perspective with

other people through the lens of my camera. I’m always looking up--

literally and figuratively. I believe beauty is everywhere, and this is how I

make my mark.

All of the images in this book are

from my blog, and the layouts were

designed by me, Camille Du Par.
