Enlightened
This back lit image was used originally for a lgbt art show at The Other Side Arts. For many years, I tried to give lgbt artists in the Denver area a venue to show their work. The goal was to engage the lgbt community in dialogue through art.
Lonnie
This is one of my early fashion pieces. I worked with designer, Armando Guerra on creating this haunting look of our friend and model, Lonnie. I’ve always love the severeness of this piece. The stark black and white of the garment as well as the lighting and makeup. There’s a certain level of desperation in this piece.
Portrait Sitting
I am currently offering a portrait sitting and 10 edited images for only $75. I am working on purchasing some new equipment and would love to reconnect with some of you through creating great images together. Email me at jeff@jeffballphotography.com or call 720.276.2335
Lonely Studio
Some days I am left to my own devices in the studio. I love doing studio work but sometimes I just don’t have a model. Today I used this mannequin to express myself. I love the lines and color of this piece. It was done with red gelled strobes and a white background.
Denver Diner
Denver Diner is another iconic business in Denver, Colorado. From the corner of Speer and Colfax, this eatery hosts lots of late night patrons seeking comfort food.
This photo was taken as part of a photography series based on Colfax Ave which is now showing in the Aurora MLK library. It was also recently chosen as the cover image for Your Castle Realty’s Real Estate Trends booklet.
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Pedestrian Bride near downtown Denver is quickly becoming an iconic symbol for the city. Economic growth has boomed around it for the last 8 years and for me it has come to symbolize our coastal envy as a city.
I really love the lines of this piece. My eye never gets bored.
Crash Bulbs
Lately I have been thinking a lot about my failures in life. I’m absolutely at a crossroad in my life path. I’ve pondered the lessons learned as well as the mistakes repeated.
This photo reminds me that even the worst failures can be turned into art. We have the power to create something from destruction. I often photograph keepsakes that have broken beyond repair or vegetables that stayed in the crisper way to long to be useful. It feels great to give another life to something that has seemingly come to the end of it’s existence.
Ice Painting 1
This photo is part of a series of photos that I did where I use paint and ice to create unique and changing landscapes of color. I love the temporary aspect of the concept. Every second the composition changes and evolves. Colors mixing and changing.
