Lunatics

There has been a project on my mind for a while. 

Kailey and I always talk about how the moon affects us. We lived a block from the Ocean for a year and watching the tides come and go made an impression on me. How strongly the moon affects the world it orbits.

I was told once the the moon was blamed for women acting "hysterical". To think that even our emotions are subject to the movements of the moon is fascinating to me. Thats where this project comes from. I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by many beautiful and fascinating women who are open to being photographed. My plan is to photograph the neck (an integral part of the feminine form) and back of 5 to 7 women and light them as the moon is lit throughout the month waxing and waning.

The project is still in the works though I have one sample shot with the help of my lovely friend Kailey.

Any suggestions or thoughts on this project would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Rachel Deehan

New Territory

Exploring new territories is always a thrill. While desperately trying to move up to Portland, I have come to realize how important it is to listen to intuition and the people who surround you. With little money in our pockets our friends family, and strangers have all given us enough pats on our backs to give us the confidence we need. The north west is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The thick forest and ever changing skies have lifted our spirits even higher. I cannot express how thankful I am. We have made a home here and I can't wait to share it with those I love.

On another note...
Here are a few pictures we took while we were in Yosemite a few weeks ago. The first was a collaborative effort shot by Rachel and edited by myself.

The second is from the Yosemite Valley floor from the mirror lake hike. 

Hope this leads you to new places

Yours truly, 

Rachel and Kailey

Hello World!

I would like to introduce you to InLight Images. We are recently graduated from the Brooks Institute  with a Bachelors in Professional Photography. We concentrated in Industrial/Scientific Photography (the class where you blow things up and catch it on high speed, as well as many other scientific techniques) which has given us a unique perspective on run of the mill commercial projects.

As your narrator I will start with me, Rachel Deehan, and one of my most recent works:

Next is K Fry, and two of her nature photographs, which she mirrored in response to my hillside photograph:

This is just a little taste of what's to come.
See you soon,
