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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Brian works at South Austin Music, a local music store and guitar player’s dream. Well, guitar, banjo, bass, any any other stringed instrument you can think of, really! I stopped in on my journey and through town and he was nice enough to make like a model! Brian hails from York, PA but [...]
I came across this today. It’s a piece on converging media and how magazines (if they survive the next 5 years or so) may end up with video embedded on their pages! Pretty slick. This youtube video is all about how a shoot was done with this concept in mind. Check [...]
I had such a great time with Chloe at our country shoot that we decided to do it again!
Shooting fashion is always fun since you usually get to work with a team (stylists, model, art director and so forth, but this time it was just myself, Chloe, and our makeup and hair artist, Maggie Bosworth. [...]
