Slight Breeze

July 22, 2010

It’s still hot and humid in Michigan and I had a comp card shoot today. Driving around the studio I knew I had to find shade. When Sarah showed me this sweet little dress I thought it would be perfect for this location. This shot of Sarah is an important part of a comp card […]

Window Light

July 21, 2010

Wow, I’m watching the new reality show Double Exposure while I’m writing this post. I’m glad I don’t shoot with a partner. Why they do it I don’t know. They seem to bitch and argue constantly, it’s draining just to listen to. It seems everyone puts up with it because they produce beautiful work, but […]

Double Shadows

July 19, 2010

So I’m still testing the raw sun light look and Andi was nice enough to drop by the studio to help out. Andi did her own hair and makeup and she did a great job. She obviously paid attention to Tammy Pore during our first shoot together. This was Andi’s second shoot ever and she’s […]

Showing Too Much

July 18, 2010

I took at look at a website today and it was all over the place (i’ve seen much worse those). I see photographers that are just starting out that have portfolios that are just too diverse. You can’t be an expert in everything, you can hardly be proficient at one thing when starting out. […]

July 18, 2010

Gratuitous

July 16, 2010

Once in awhile I just have to post some gratuitous sex…todays the day. One of my fav models Tiffany Stone just hangin out at the studio (this is how she hangs out, no, really!). This is the look I’m after but I rented an $8,000. HMI for this. Wish I still had it. It was […]

I Suck

July 15, 2010

I was disappointed with yesterdays testing but answers were right around the corner, or should I say a click away. I was reading awhile back about using the Profoto Hardbox on model mayhem, (yes, I’m kinda a lurker) it finally inspired me to get it. whoop whoop! I’m sure it could be duplicated with $5 […]

Profoto Hardbox

July 14, 2010

Today I was testing my Profoto Hardbox on my Profoto 1200ws monolight. Anthony came by for a quick couple of hours. It’s still hot in Michigan so today had to be a studio day. Today was like shooting film, I thought the images were going to look a lot better than they did. The […]
