The Blog of Photographer Jacob Vorpahl.
Last Thursday, my good friend Matt decided he wanted to throw a small party for the season premier of “The Office”. Enjoying a good party, as well “The Office”, I obliged to have it at my house and looked forward to some good fun. Matt had everyone come dressed up as their favorite character from the show. Little did I know the lengths some people would go, or should I say one person, with regards to dressing up. We had two Jims, one Dwight, one Kelly Kapoor and a Stanley. Stephen, another one of my friends, went all out. I’ll let the picture speak for itself:
Imagine my surprise when he walked in. It definitely was a sight to behold. Also important to know is that he painted not only his face, but almost up his entire arms. Oh, and his mustache is from a permanent black marker (that thankfully come off easily thanks to the makeup). Now, me being the aspiring photographer that I am, and due the fact that I recently set up a little portrait area, decided to have Stephen come sit down for a portrait. I mean, why not?
I used the same set up I had used for the previous self portraits I had taken, except I opened the aperture a little to get it properly exposed. It was just something quick we decided to do, but the memory of this is half the fun:
Here is the rest of our cast of “Office” dress up misfits:
We had a good time and it also helped that the premier of “The Office” came through with a good episode. Good times had by all.
