Group Glamour Shoot

Happy Holidays everyone! Here’s some shots that I hope you will all enjoy. I recently shot a group of absolutely stunning models, and stunningly talented photographers. Here are a few of the shots that came from that collaboration.

I recently did a shoot with a fantastic young model named Niki. She was nothing short of an absolute blast to work with. Certainly one of the most bubbly and fun people I’ve had the opportunity to shoot. Here’s some of the work we got done on that great little shoot!

These are a few of the better shots I got on my most recent vacation. My Fiancee and I took my parents on their first cruise for their 30th wedding anniversary, and we had an absolute BLAST. We took a trip on the Carnival Pride out of Baltimore to Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas. Needless to say, as you can see from the shots, we saw some seriously gorgeous sights. I can’t recommend Carnival enough for a fun, inexpensive vacation. We’re taking another one in just 3 weeks for our honeymoon.

Don’t worry, the camera is coming with me

I did an absolutely great shoot with a gorgeous British model named Kehinde a couple of weeks ago. Here are the first few images that I finished from her shoot. Kehinde is a professionally trained dancer, and is extremely graceful which made for some fantastic pose opportunities. I hope you enjoy these first few shots from her shoot.

Lucid Imaginings – Faerie Series (cont.)

What’s up everyone? I just finished up another piece in my Faerie series, and figured I’d post it up for you all to enjoy. I was actually very happy with the tonality I got out of this one, and I think my digital makeup skills have improved dramatically over the past few months. Suffice it to say I was pretty happy with the results I got here. Enjoy!

Nora Photoshoot (Part 2)

Here’s a few more shots from Nora’s shoot last week. There should be one more part to this coming up sometime in the next few days. As you can see, I really enjoyed shooting by that brick building on this shoot. The shots came out fantastic, and the bricks made for a really expressive and edgy looking background. We eventually moved to the rear of the building and shot near the graffiti-ed wall, and then moved down near the water for some shots.

After that, we found a local warehouse that the owner was kindly willing to let us use for a half hour, and we took some shots in there for a really gritty urban look. As you can see with the first picture from that session, we put a decidedly playful spin on that style. I’m really looking forward to working on processing the next set of images, because I personally think they came out nothing short of fantastic.

I have received a couple of emails (thanks by the way! please keep them coming), asking some questions about my shooting method, and how I’m able to get such crisp, colorful, and expressive shots without the use of strobes or reflectors. I’ve given it some thought, and I’m probably going to start to produce a learning series of videos that will go over some of my methods both behind the camera, and behind the computer to produce the shots that I get.

Stay Tuned!

Nora’s Photoshoot

This photoshoot was quite a bit of fun. I found Nora on Model Mayhem, one of my favorite networking sites to find models and makeup artists. I absolutely loved the shots on her portfolio, and asked her if she was interested in doing a shoot with me for a couple of the projects I had in mind.

I met up with her at a local Starbucks a couple of weeks after that first message. I had decided to go minimal with this shoot, and brought only my essentials. My Nikon D90, my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, and my Tamron 75-300. No strobes, no speedlights, not even a reflector. I always think that working with less makes you think of more creative ways to get a shot. Considering the extreme lack of equipment I was working with, I think I got some fantastic shots out of it.

This first set was taken in a park not too far from the Starbucks where we had met. There is a small brick building that houses the bathrooms and probably some lawn equipment. Who would have thought it would have made the perfect background for some shots? Enjoy!

Welcome to the blog portion of the site. This is where I’ll be posting some of my newest work, with a bit of a story about how I got these particular shots. Think of it as a mix between a portfolio, and a learning series.
