Savannah's College Graduation Photos

 Savannah and I traveled to Columbus to celebrate her graduation from Franklin University with college senior pics.

Kyson from Beavercreek High School

 It's always fun to shoot photos with a football player, especially one who is willing to travel to the stadium and catch passes in order to get great photos!

Amaya

 Amaya came in for a very stylish senior portrait session.

An Artistic Alternative to normal Boudoir sessions

 If you'd like a confidence boost and embrace your sensual side, but would prefer a session that's a bit more modest and tasteful than what others do, then my Classic Beauty Project is for you! You can see thousands of photos and videos on the web site at www.classicbeautyproject.com , on the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/classicbeautyproject , and on Instagram @classicbeautyproject

Ohio College Senior Portraits

 Do people do COLLEGE senior portraits?  YES!  It's even more fun than high school.  We can do shots on campus, other locations, in the studio, even include some Classic Beauty Project photos, to show the complete, more complex YOU as you graduate.

Old School CGI-- sort of.

 If you look at the early films, the silents, early talkies, even into the 40s and early 50s, many of the actors were acting in front of painted backdrops and/or simple facades.  Just like in theater.  I have been thinking of that and decided to do a series of real photos with lighting, posing and props like classic portraits and adding an "added" background which I've created using several computer programs.  Since movies can be about anything, so can the photos! :)

Follow me on Facebook

 I post my latest images on Facebook.  I try to keep everything organized, so the vintage Hollywood glamour goes to The Classic Beauty Project.  High School Senior Portraits and Business Headshots for Dayton, Ohio goes to Muskopf.Photos.  My Oil Paintings, Digital Art, and Fine Art Photography go to my personal profile at Todd.Muskopf

Movies can be about anything.

 Movies can be about anything. I love that.  Since my Classic Beauty Project is based on the lighting and posing on Old Hollywood, we can stick with dramatic black and white photos, but use whatever theme we want!  Recently, we did a lot of photos based on FANTASY-- swords, cloaks, crystal balls, wands, etc.  So, those people into Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. got to play! I took a trip to England with my wife this spring, so I used some of the gothic architecture I took photos of to add a medieval element in the background.

I've done a lot with angel wings lately

 For the last several weeks, I've been playing with angel wings.  It's been really fun!  

England

 Just got back from a trip to England.  I didn't quite "win on over to London and jam with the Stones", but it was close enough.  :)

Mystery is in the Shadows

 In the last month or so I've been experimenting with new ways of having the model and shadows work together.
