Jamie Orillion Photography & Design

I had the great honor of having an image of mine published in the Leica User Forum Book along with many other great photographers.  The purpose of the book is to raise funds for Leica’s charity AICR (Association for International Cancer Research).  This opportunity has meant a great deal to me because my father was diognosed with cancer several years back.  Through cancer research he has recovered and is doing great.

If you are interested in helping support the cause you can do so by purchasing the book HERE.  The book is available for anyone to buy and AICR will receive £5 from each copy sold. So far over £7,000 has been raised just from the entry submissions alone!  Click here for a Thank You post from Leica’s Blog.

Here are a few images of the book and the image of mine that was published.  Unfortunatly they misspelled my name, but for the cause I guess I can let that slide :).  The last name reads “Orilion”, but needs to have two “L”s and read “Orillion”. Better luck next time I guess.

Camera: Leica M6
Lens: Voigtländer 28mm f1.9
Medium: Film – Ilford HP5+ ISO400
Location: Harbor Island in the Bahamas.

Enjoy!

“This photo book – the proceeds of which are being donated to the AICR (Association for International Cancer Research) – is an extremely successful illustration of the passion and dedication of a rather special Leica community. It leaves no doubt whatsoever that our customers are the best.”
- Herr Rudolf Spiller, Chief Executive, Leica Camera AG

Here are some scans of the Salk Institute that I shot last year in San Diego, Ca.  I posted one of the images as a wallpaper a while back, but I’ve never posted any of the actual images.  These were all shot on a Leica M6.

Enjoy!

I will be out of the country and out of contact until January 3rd 2010.  If you need to contact me please do so via e-mail and I will respond after I return.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

I just wanted to share another image. I just love Aspen trees!

Enjoy!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to spend the day shooting with Joia Farmer in Casper, Wyoming. The location was absolutely beautiful! Joia will be releasing a new album soon and wanted to use these images for the album as well as other promotional material.

I have to admit… Joia was a trooper! I pushed her till she didn’t want to go anymore and then some. I think it was well worth it though. I ended up getting the sunset shot I was looking for. We were on top of the mountain and the wind must have been blowing 60mph and the wind chill had to be in the teens. Other than that and nearly rolling the truck on the side of the mt. i think everything went really smooth.

Here are a few of my favorites: Enjoy!

My brother left today for San Diego. As I was thinking about my recent travels to and from there myself I recalled a few more images from that trip. These, as well as the previous ones, were shot with film. I wasn’t sure what the exact outcome of these images were going to be because I was shooting a pretty long exposure hand held without a tripod. It was the middle of the night so needless to say I was pretty happy with the outcome!
Enjoy!

I had so many little wonderful experiences while I was in the Bahamas. One of the best parts was meeting and visiting with the locals. This gentleman was running a fruit stand with so many great native fruits. We must have spent 45 minutes just visiting and trying diffrent fruit. It was here that I was first introduced to “sugar apples”. I’m not one to really try crazy things, but it was really good. I can still imagine the unique taste. Anyway… Here are a few shots.
Enjoy!

I’m finally able to get to these images and wanted to share a few. I shot Ben Lee several weeks back in San Diego. Enjoy!

Last week I had the opportunity to do several shoots in San Diego. One of those shoots was a promo shoot for Raven’s Grace. I just wanted to share a couple of my favorites from that day.

Enjoy!
