Testing

Stripped Bare

July 1, 2010

You just never know what you’re going to get when a new model walks in the door.   I’ve been fooled many times in the past so when I see a new model I don’t form an opinion, the camera decides. I gained this attitude from shooting twins years ago.   Upon first seeing them I decided […]

So a bit of testing today, it was hot and humid and threatened to rain.  I was determined to go anyway and just ignored the weather.  Andrea mentioned her mom called and said it was hailing golf balls at her house.  Ouch!  When I got home I found out a tornado touched down not far […]

Todays post is in response to Aurora V Photography inquiring about how I test with models. She mentioned there is not much online, but I do know it’s a hotly debated topic on Model Mayhem.

A few people know me and my style, what I’m about.  But for those who don’t I thought I would write a bit about who I think this blog might interest. I belong to Model Mayhem and I’m called a lurker; someone who reads the forums but who seldom post or responds to posts.  This […]

Your Light Is In The Shot

Your light is in the shot!?  Ahh, yes? And your point?  I realized when I had another photographer drop in while I was shooting that the idea of shooting with lights coming into the image was so foreign to his style of shooting.  As a portrait photographer there are formulas that you just don’t break.  […]

Thumbnail image for Turning Things Upside Down

As a photographer we sometimes have tunnel vision.   I try and view my props and wardrobe without tunnel vision.   To shoot the same piece of wardrobe in a new and unique way.  To turn things upside down, sideways or inside out, whatever it takes. Because I do a lot of beauty work I only […]
