A friend and fellow photographer and I had the opportunity to shoot a local young and rising model Brandi. The shoot held at a local state park. I brought along a Alien Bee AB800 strobe/monolight, a beauty dish, a Vagabond power supply and a Kacey Pole Adaptor to hold it all together. The Kacey Pole [...]
One of my favorite photographers work to follow is Joel Grimes. Joels is pretty famous for his “three point lighting” setup of models, athletes, musicians, or other characters mixed with a HDR background. I really enjoy the look of Joels three point lighting work because it is different than most and because for me, it [...]
I had the pleasure of photographing Allison for her senior portraits. She is a really sweet young lady with a wonderful future ahead of her. She had lots of fun doing her senior photo shoot. She was quick to “strike a pose” and was just beautiful in her yellow senior high prom dress.

My job was to shoot a group people in management throughout the group. The shots were not glamorous, just straight forward business head shots. I needed to shoot a torso up [...]
Here are a few B/W pics from the pin-up shoot. Using black and white pictures seem important to me when shooting this style picture. The last one isn’t really 100% black and white but it has an old photos style look that I enjoy.
The processing in the shot below was accomplished using a [...]
One of the goals that I had during the Pin Up shoot last weekend was to create a “Fantasy Moon Pin Up” image and I was able to complete that goal. Below is the final result. I’m pretty happy with the final image.
I experimented with the final processing in different colors and tones but [...]
Sorry that I’ve not been active posting for some time. I’ve got a huge project in the works and it’s been taking almost every free moment. I hope to make it public in the next month or so. So stay tuned, it’s gonna be good!
That said, sometimes you’ve just got to take time and [...]
I don’t shoot black and white very often but sometimes it’s just the best option, even for me. This shot of Tiki our Yorkie. He was taking a nap while laying in the sun, something we don’t see much of this time of year. He was enjoying it as I got ready to go [...]

The weather didn’t allow for outside shooting so we did a simple back drop and created some hard edge light shots using strip boxes with grids and a large umbrella fill. We used a fold out black backdrop and exploited the [...]
