"Psychic Waves and Space: A Cosmic Photoshoot"
Get a behind-the-scenes look at our recent cosmic photoshoot inspired by the trending themes of psychic waves and space. From a dynamic projector and trippy makeup to space-themed hair and immersive music, this shoot was a journey through the cosmos.
Siren in the Cave - Squireboone Caverns - Indiana Creative Photography
What an iconic shoot for me. I took these towards the start of my journey into photographing people. Granted, I am one of those people that planned everything down to the light setup before I got there.
Squire Boone Caverns, located in southern Indiana, is an incredibly beautiful experience by itself. When we called to ask if we could drag photography lights and a model in a vintage wedding dress deep into the bowels of the earth, they seemed shocked! In hindsight, that was a much bigger task than I actually anticipated.
Women’s Empowerment Session- Roe V. Wade - Indianapolis, Indiana
My name is Colleen and I am, how you could say, Mrs. BradleyMichael.co! Bradley asked me if I could start contributing to the experience blogs that we love to share about the work we do here! With my inner dork screaming about getting to whip out my communication degree, I grabbed my glasses and laptop, and…here I am!
On a much more serious note, I am truly grateful to have my first blog with BradleyMichael.co be on an issue that I am deeply passionate about - Women’s Rights!

Indiana Dunes - Boho Gypsy Theme - 2021 - Arianna & Colleen
I won’t waste a ton of your time talking about an old shoot, but this still ranks as one of my all time favorites.
A lot of my clients complain that they can’t find unique locations in Indiana, but I have had the complete opposite experience.
Check out the Indiana Dunes!
Projector Test 2, 2022 - BadleyMichael.co - Projector Photoshoot - Indianapolis, In
The goal here was to use the projector but use strobes to overpower the projector so we didn’t just have a black background and projected skin.
Traditionally, that’s how most normal people use projectors.
But we aren’t normal.
Treasure Island Boardwalk - Vacation Photos with my Wife - Madeira Beach, FL
The one time of year I really get to flex my swimwear muscles on the beach, every year I take it as a challenge to photograph the same spot in different ways. This year we chose the boardwalk. For those of you that don’t know my wife is a very talented model as well as the best wife ever.
Check out the photos!
Cyberpunk 2022 - BadleyMichael.co - Sabrina Nguyen - Indianapolis, In
You’ve been waiting…
But before I show you the images, I’d love to speak a little bit about my art. My goal for this portrait experience was to create a cyberpunk themed set of images without the use of photoshopped backgrounds. It was a challenge for me as it required very precise light placements to make it work.
The biggest trick is balancing the levels of light so that you overpower the projector but now blow out details within the images. I have probably 40 hours into these projector projects.
Without further ado, enjoy!
Van Gogh Interactive Gallery - Newfield's - The Lume - 2022 - Indianapolis, In
I'd heard a lot of mixed reviews when we decided to set out to experience the Van Gogh Interactive Experience Exhibit at Newfield's (The Lume). But I decided ultimately being a big fan of Van Gogh and his various works to check it out for myself.
