Gone Fishin

Normally one item will set me off in a direction and this image is no different.  Pete had the white t-shirt and hat, it reminded me of an Italian fisherman, not sure why?  I went around the studio and found the leather fishing net and the pole.  I bought the net at Big Lots (for […]

In The Round

I think this set up has high impact for the money and time.  I went to Home Depot and bought a large round cheap light fixture.  You take it apart but leave the wires attached and simply plug it in.  The bulb doesn’t get that hot and the model can touch it.  The power is […]

My Sweet Little Chair

I love this chair.  I can’t remember where I picked up this little chair, road side pit stop, dumpster dive, loading dock snag, but I know when I spotted it I had sweet love.  The seat has since broken at a workshop a couple of years ago though and is totally missing (not sure what […]

I was watching a morning show yesterday and they were going to show the fashions from Sex & The City II.   They were showing images of the  wardrobe and then showing the audience how they could buy clothes to recreate the look on a budget.  A look popped up and I thought, “hey”, that looks […]

I used my 16-35 wide angle lens today for a glamour shoot.  The model wanted to feature her shoes and legs.  I laid on the floor and shot straight up. I wish I could remember to use my wide angle more.  Because I shoot comp cards and head shots where you don’t want distortion I […]

My mom called me from the local summer flea market trying to explain what she thought was a great find.  I couldn’t really picture it so I got in my car and drove over.  What I found was a dealer selling all kinds of belly dancer belts for $5..  It just seemed like a lot […]

It’s Raining Outside

Thumbnail image for It’s Raining Outside

I’ve asked a few of my workshop attendees over time what size their studios were.  The average seems  be around 20-35 ft deep.  As a model photographer I’m generally not shooting at the popular f8 that portrait photographers use.  If I’m shooting high key and the model is really moving I definitely would. Most of […]

All Wet

Thumbnail image for All Wet

Recently I watched a virtual back lot video from Stargate Studios.  It was a fascinating look behind the scenes.  I’m very gullible when I watch movies and think the actors and crew are really there, it doesn’t occur to me that it’s green screen.  The same holds true with still photography but in miniature.  We […]
