Allison Senior ~ The Golden Willow

working on Allison's senior images..

this we taken in the trick last few mins of the day light..

it was hectic with the day light changing so fast..

we had to have a team for this one..

her sister was holding the back willow branches out of the way to allow the framing as such, plus her boy friends mom was helping with the hand positions and cutting off any willow low hanging that didn't allow the framing as such, and i had the rest of the team help hold lights, move lights and super fast cloth changes gave us this out put..

seriously we had only 5 mins from motocycle shot to transition to this shot that was 100 yards away.. plus an outfit change..

so the key point was this... Team Allison performed very well to get her this shot!.. thank you team allison..

all i did was just get the camera settings right and aimed the camera and we went on a 10 shot framing trial and error and finally got this one.. whewww.. that was fast and frantic.. haha

lighting was 2 lights..

1. Ab1600 for key with beauty dish at 1/8 power
2. AB1600 with yellow gel camera right for the fake sun light, and at 1/2 power about 12 feet

Magical Winter Wish Publication ~ Light and Shoot 50 Fashion Book

Well this image has had quite the Odyssey, been one of my favorite images, been on a billboard, in a major magazine, and now published in a Mainstream Fashion Book for photographers.

this book is a new publication by Chris Gatcum. Light and Shoot: 50 Fashion Photos features the work of photography Masters Miles Aldridge, Perou and Rankin and its a real PRIVILEGE to have been part of this project.. actually mind blowing.. :)

The concept of this book is pretty simple - Lighting Handbook for fashion photographers

shows the shot and on the opposite page, the set up of lights and captions about HOW to do the shot and a little background of the concept or history of the shot.. and small tid bit of the photographer.. :)

"The key to this book though, is on the back cover- that “lighting styles come in and out of fashion and are constantly evolving… Some would say there are no rules abut lighting..-or that lighting is something you never truly master; but the more you shoot the better you get at it.”" i couldn't agree more, there is no limits on creative lighting and concepts..

Continuation of Lauren's senior images..

being she is an outdoor nature photographer, into wildlife photography and loves colors, we framed here with all of that.. add some studio lighting in the outdoors and you get this.. Lauren's Senior photos..

Credit goes to her father who spotted the flower patch in a turn about near the parking garage we parked in..

we found a small window of flowers that didn't have a distracting background and did some compositional studies before we brought out the lights.. (we had lauren go into the flower patch 3 different times and locations before we settled on this framing.. )

lighting was 1 speedlight bare with a blue gel taped at 1/8 power about 10 feet behind Lauren

key lighting was AB1600 with 60 inch Softlighter II camera right about 5 feet away from Her.. at 1/3 power

this was a fun shoot for molly, the model that started my career.. she was photographed by both Myself and Ryan O Hicks that night.. oh so long ago..

here is the video i did for Ryan O Hicks shot..
www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=394941338356

and after wards, i wanted to do just one shot for me...

this shot was lighted by the radio poppers px system in a westcott 28x28 box.. boomed by Nick..

the cross red lighting was gelled on a 580EXII @ 1/32 power i think..

being it was pitch dark, i always find some ambient light to balance the photo out..

the westcott was boomed about 6-8 feet camera right 8 feet or so up..

Cayenne Turbo

The 1st generation Cayenne Turbo had 450 horsepower (340 kW), and accelerated from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 seconds. A Turbo S version was built in 2006 to compete with the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. The Cayenne Turbo S included a low-range case, a locking differential, and the height-adjustable, off-road suspension also standard on the regular Turbo model. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter V8 that produced 520 bhp (390 kW) and 700 N·m (520 lb·ft) of torque. Acceleration from 0–60 mph (96 km/h) was 5.0 seconds and the top speed was 171 miles per hour. It featured a 6-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission.
A new Turbo was revealed at the 2008 Beijing auto show. It received 50 hp (37 kW) more power, and now accelerated from 0–60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. Also revealed with the new Turbo was a new 550 horsepower (410 kW) Turbo S. Acceleration from 0–60 mph is 4.7 seconds and has optional ceramic composite brakes.

this SUV sounded great as it looked too..

congrats to the newlyweds..

i tell you this shot was crazy difficult to get..

first it was super windy, cold, and we didn't have a great background ... but the team looked around to find this cool fence and we all agreed to do a shot infront of it..

the maid of honor (Gillian) was just out of frame camera right holding up the veil and releasing it on que..

we did about 4 times to get shot..

give kate credit.. i swear it felt like 10 degrees outside with the 20 mph winds

Vivik Skyline ~ GT-R @ Warp Speed

my vision of a sports car with a proud owner like Vivek is like this:

Color and Lighting and the car in motion - going Warp Speed.

Meet Vivek.. A Purdue Grad, A Pharmacist, and a Military Captain.

Vivek will be doing a 1 year tour of duty in Iraq, starting 2 weeks from now.

his father had asked me do a photo shoot of him and his car..
when i first meet Vivek 2 weeks ago, i thought father bought the car for him, but it turns out Vivek earned this by him self..

it totally makes me smile that if you work hard enough, you can meet all your goals.. congrats to him to make it out of a difficult program at Purdue.. and to serve the USA in the armed forces..

it is fitting i did the SKYLINE shot on a SKYLINE top of the parking garage..

The Legendary Nissan Skyline has quite the fan far in Japan, but few know about this car here in north america..

i was lucky enough to drive this amazing piece of engineering at the end of the night

quick specs...

0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.. and if your a bad drive, then maybe 3.5 seconds.. lol..

some 450 LB torque
some 500 stock HP

a total of 5 lights were used for this shot

Vivek ~ The Nissan Skyline GTR

Meet Vivek.. A Purdue Grad, A Pharmacist, and a Military Captain.

Vivek will be doing a 1 year tour of duty in Iraq, starting 2 weeks from now.

his father had asked me do a photo shoot of him and his car..
when i first meet Vivek 2 weeks ago, i thought father bought the car for him, but it turns out Vivek earned this by him self..

it totally makes me smile that if you work hard enough, you can meet all your goals.. congrats to him to make it out of a difficult program at Purdue.. and to serve the USA in the armed forces..

it is fitting i did the SKYLINE shot on a SKYLINE top of the parking garage..

The Legendary Nissan Skyline has quite the fan far in Japan, but few know about this car here in north america..

i was lucky enough to drive this amazing piece of engineering at the end of the night

quick specs...

0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.. and if your a bad drive, then maybe 3.5 seconds.. lol..

some 450 LB torque
some 500 stock HP

it was a tricky shoot.. windy and cold.. and the sky was changing so fast i just got what i could and i wanted to get more lights out of my outback, but i couldn't , time was of essence.. so instead of messing around and getting all the lights, i settled with a 2 light set up..

back lighting was AB1600 bare at 1/2 power about 10 feet out
key lighting on Vivek was Elinchrom Quadra with deep octa about 5 feet away held by dad @ 3.0 power

Getting ready to start off the Engagements with all the couples to be wedded this coming year.. about 16 weddings on the book this year..

so i was going thru my couples study and looking for good poses to add to my phone and found this one i haven't posted and totally love..

editing was:

1. desaturated this file to sepia
2. colorized the image to my likings
3. added the rain textures from another project - Kate Sitting in the Rain , because i have the layers already made, i can just drag and drop into this project and it was like 2 mins of work total..

one of my fav's from whitney's wedding from this summer.

i am using this winter to study processing

with this one i did this:

1. started out with black and white or even sepia
2. over lay 2 gradient colors of my choice

pretty simple but it seems to be a trend in fashion photography right now to do these over lays on black and whites..

Working with Madeline on her senior photos..

With her artistic creativity we were able to fashion something she and her family will cherish..

Madeline is in a classic Yoga Pose for her Yoga Art..

this turned out kinda like a windows desktop or magazine quality.. i am very happy with this one..

believe it or not.. it was super sunny and i had to put both of my AB1600's on one side and balance out the sun to her other side..

i was out to like F9-F11, ISO 50 i think..

so we showered her with 1200 some watts of power to get this shot..

makes me want a Elinchrom Ranger Rx haha..

i had both units with shoot thru umbrellas camera right and i had to clone out the edge of one of them so you know it was like 5-6 feet away from Maddy..

Both were full power

Kathryn Model ~ The SnowBoarder

haven't had much time this winter for personal work, so recently i had to do a project shot.

Kathryn, Mother and i were talking about her wedding photos, so after we talked about a fun project.

it started out as a sledding photo, but as it turned out we picked a snowboard shot..

lighting was 3 lights

1. Speed light 580EXII triggered by the New Cactus V5's Camera Left 1/4 power
2. Speed light 580EXII triggered by the New Cactus V5's Camera Right 1/2 power
3. AB1600 with 60 inch Softlighter triggered by the new Cactus V5's 1/2 power about 5 feet camera left from Kathryn

the weather was about 19 F outside, so Kathryn was really a trooper with this shoot..

her mother and father also was helping out.. it takes a good team to get results like this. Coat holding, flashlight holder, etc.

Skylar Model ~ Photoshop Practice

every once and while i try to re do a photo to see what i can improve on the post processing aspects.

i have always stated you need 2 things to make a good photo

1. a good file with good lighting in camera
2. good photoshop or lightroom skills.. (post processing)

this day and age of digital photography you will find it is probably more about post work, that is unfortunate, but probably true..

so what i did tonight was to visit a good file and see what i can do..

you can find great actions on the net or light room presets on the net
and start from there, try to reverse engineer it, and from there put it into photo shop and see if you can some what recreate it on photo shop too.. this practice alone will make you appreciate lightroom, but also lets you know what controls you have from each tool and better you over all as a digital photographer.
