Hi, remember me??
Ah how the holidays do take up our time. Anyway, after a long time away I’m back with a few new shoots!
My sister site, Rushmonkeys.com did a couple of features on paintball and my partner, Tasha, and I came back to do a photo shoot!
It was a nice, sunny day (if a [...]
As a little present to myself, I thought I’d take a birthday portrait (No, not in my birthday suit, luckily for you!). I thought it would be fun to do a quick set up in a non-studio environment to show how you can take a place that isn’t particularly set up for shooting and [...]
Now that the dry part is done, it’s time for the wetness to begin! So about 30 seconds after we started shooting this setup, it started to rain in earnest. And then it just kept on raining more and more until finally we had had enough. But not before we caught some [...]
Sometimes nature has a funny sense of humor. But I guess living in Austin, TX I should have realized that by now.
Emily and I had planned to shoot for a while and finally the stars aligned so that we could get together and attempt to make some magic! The weather forecast [...]
On Wednesday’s shoot, we had Kaydence in front of a lovely shag carpet, lit from 2 sources with one reflector? Well what happens when we strip away everything but a blank wall and one diffuse light source?
In this setup, the only thing lighting Kaydence was one 4 foot octobox. She had no reflector [...]
Hi all!
Thanks for sticking with me in my time of few shoots! I managed to wrangle my equipment away from my commercial gig to get some time in with a model here in Austin, TX for some fashion/editorial work. Now, obviously the clothing isn’t terribly Haute Couture, but the lighting principles could be [...]
Sorry about my absence everyone! I’ve been assisting a friend doing some product work for the past 2 weeks (and 2 more to come) and haven’t been able to shoot! They’re also using my equipment for the shoot. But I’ve missed you all so much I’m going to start blogging about my [...]
As I was driving down Burnet in North Austin, I saw tiny shoe repair store tucked away in a small lot, Austin Shoe Hospital. Since I’ve never actually been in a shoe repair store, let alone taken a photo of anyone who might work there, I decided that this had to be my portrait [...]
Today one of my close friends here in Austin celebrated his birthday. I would tell you how old he is, but I’m not sure he wants the world to know (plus I don’t want my laptop to start smoking from hitting that many keys in rapid succession).
Josh is a musician (one of the finest [...]
Down in South Austin there is a place where men, women, and children go to cleanse themselves of all things healthy. Where cholesterol flows in rivers of sweet, donut shaped goodness. That place is Gourdouh’s. It’s one of the most esteemed donut shops in Austin. The donuts are served out of an [...]
