What do you get when you combine a beautiful model, a allergy suffering photographer and a bit of the Irish? A St. Patrick's Day themed shoot! Your humble host suffers from Spring and late Fall allergies. When Dreamera Marie wanted to shoot I put my troubles aside and showed up (pumped full of meds I should add). We had a great time doing a little stealth shooting around Neenah. Thanks to Green's Pour House, and a generous tip to the bar guy, we did some St. Paddy's decoration shooting. Move on to a few other downtown locations and ended up…

Here is another video in my Shoot-a-Month project. I started this project in 2020 as a response to the slower photography market. Not as much business so might as well plan a creative project for every month. I had so much fun the project is going to continue into 2021. For this latest video I met up with Dreamera Marie and we did a fast shoot on a Saturday afternoon. This video features my interpretation of an old April Wine song. All parts played by ME and looped on Ableton Live 11. Do Ya Wanna Rock? from Jalanlee on Vimeo.…
My main "gig" is photography but I also have done quite a bit of video. I am an all around video producer that both shoots and edits - and often writes and directs! In 2020 I started a shoot-a-month project in which I committed to producing one creative project each month. I have continued this project into 2021 and plan on going until I am out of ideas! Shoot-a-month is all about trying something different, working with new people and bringing something uplifting into the world - or maybe just having some fun! This month I worked with the beautiful…
There are two paths you can take when it is below zero in Wisconsin. You can huddle around the fire and dream of summer, or you can get off your butt and do a photo shoot! Dreamera Marie and I braved the frigid cold on a Sunny Saturday to bring a Winter fantasy to life. I bundled up and she froze! But we both had fun; hand warmers all around! You can see the full gallery at Dreamera at 14 Below Zero Check out Dreamera's Instagram @dreamera.marie or my Instagram @jalanlee I am always looking for creative projects and models…

Another session in my shoot-a-month project. This time we did a film shoot with the beautiful Dreamera Marie (Instagram @dreamera.marie). It was a beautiful late afternoon / evening and we used the backdrop of the early Winter earth tone colors around Neenah. Shot with Kodak Portra 400 film on a medium format camera - my Bronica ETRSi. The first shots were in a swamp! The rolling grasses were an awesome contrast with her sparkly blue dress. The next set was taken on Doty Island by the bridges and Fox River. This set used a variety of lighting and color grades…
Location - Downtown Neenah. Either the brick alley or trees by Neenah Towers. The final image will be a composite of two images. The first image will be made to look like a child - alone in the dark but feeling safe none the less. Below are a couple of examples of making an adult into a child. The 2nd photo is a protective angel. We'll use a back light effect. Here are a couple of examples (in the 2 locations) that kind of get to what we'll do...
My 2020 shoot-a-month project continues through July. This shoot was all studio and results in a whole bunch of cool compositions. Featuring Wisconsin model Dreamera Marie, the shoot had a circus fantasy theme. We did all the shooting in front of a "green screen". This makes it possible to more easily separate the subject and composition into another picture. The downside of green screen is you run the risk of green "spill" in the picture. Spill is when you get a green color cast on the edges. It can come from bad lighting or just reflections around the set. We…
Seems like most kids dream of running away and joining the Circus - at least once! I don't remember if I though about joining the circus - but sometimes feel like my whole life is a fantasy! The most beautiful model Dreamera Marie, with my assistant Karrington and I indulged that fantasy on a summer afternoon in my "studio". We did a series of fun shots and dreamed of what it might be like to be in the circus... See more of Dreamera Marie's work on Instagram @dreamera.marie My most excellent assistant Karrington! And of course, your humble photographer (patiently…
https://player.vimeo.com/video/424312592 Just having some fun and having A Summer DReam! Megan, Karrington and I shot this video on one of the first hot days of 2020. It is so much fun to just go out and create something fun and whimsical. As adult people, we are pressured to be "serious" and act like "adults". But who doesn't want to cut loose once in a while and just like a kid again? Especially this year when it seems like the bad news will never end? "A Summer DReam" was shot in 4k on a Canon 5d MkIV. All editing was done…
One of my plans for 2020 was to complete a monthly creative shoot. Could be a model shoot or a video shoot or anything at all. This month I worked with Dreamera Marie (Instagram @dreamera.marie). We did an evening shoot in the woods in Fox Crossing. It was a great chance to work with color, lighting and a little smoke. At least until the smoke machine plugged up! As I get older I believe more and more that God love us to create. We are an expression of that love of creation and we were made to follow the footsteps…
While walking through the woods I came upon a vision. A beautiful woman surrounded by light, magic and mystery! Good thing I had my camera and lighting along!

A Winter Night with Dreamera Marie. We met in beautiful downtown Neenah for a night shoot with the Christmas lights. It was a cool night - but unseasonably mild for the end of December. Marie is a 27 year old model from Wisconsin and has been in front of the camera since she was a child. She has over six years of experience as a Professional Model. Browse her Instagram @dreamera.marie for more pictures and contact information. Link to my Modeling and Fashion Portfolio If you are interested in a photo shoot drop me a message at Jeff@jalanlee.com
What do you see? A beautiful woman looking at a crystal ball is the first normal answer. Or maybe a tattooed model in a black dress with a crystal ball. But if you look more closely there is so much more to the picture. Start with the light. You can see purple pink light coming in from the right side. The light accents her flowered arm and her purple hair. Next her face. Her mouth is slight smiling but her eyes are not. Serious and yet a bit whimsical. It makes you wonder what is she thinking? If you look…
