I was able to shoot with a lovely lady recently. She proved to be a very pleasant person to work with, professional and a natural talent despite her experience in modeling. She will no doubt have a great future ahead of her in the industry.
I took part in a meetup at the Black Rapids locks a couple of days ago and met a lot of interesting people, both photographers and models. The weather was perfect and the day absolutely fabulous with the models being terrific themselves. I managed to capture a number of nice shots. Here are but a few of them.
Had the opportunity to shoot with two lovely ladies on the weekend. With both some studio shots and some from outside we had a great time. Thanks to Sandra for setting up the shoot and our lovely models Gracie and Danae.
I recently attended a workshop on lighting where we worked on a number of techniques to bring out the pictures to their max. Commencing with a simple one light setup we began with the use of a beauty dish above the model and a reflector below. This provided us with catch-lights in our model’s eyes in two places (upper and lower eye). A sample is here with our Model Katlyn.
The Second setup was similar but we used two Soft Boxes in an horizontal layout. Here the catch-light appeared in two places again however the angle was horizontal this time.
Next we tried some shots with back-lighting. This was done with a strobe and a blue gel cover to give a blue colour to the image.
Here is a sample of an image created this way with our model Katlyn.
Be sure to check out the other shots of Katlyn on my Flickr Site.
I just upgraded to Photoshop CC and decided to pull up some older photos to see what I could do with them. I also found a couple of free Photoshop Actions (www.panosfx.com) that provided some really interesting effects. These photos were done using some of those actions.
I had the pleasure of shooting with a beautiful young lady on one of the colder days of the year. She wanted to get some shots in the snow and we braved the cold weather to try to get those shots. Here are just some of those shots.
I have been busy this last week with photo shoots. Three in the last week alone. Well this is what it is like to be on vacation. I can pursue my hobbies with an added level of fervor. The first one was done on Tuesday of last week with a lovely lady named Bianca. She was such a pleasure to work with and I managed to capture her beauty spectacularly.
The second shoot was a part of a portrait session that I took part in on Friday morning. This one involved another lovely lady that wanted to get some portraits done in a fitness theme. The lovely Krystel Belle was a superb young lady to work with.
The week finished with a theme shoot with the Girls of Gotham City. Catwoman (Poi), Harley Quinn (Kali), and Poison Ivy (Kelly). Complete with costume and props the ladies were fantastic.
This past weekend the weather was spectacular. Reaching a balmy 27º C with the sun shining warmly on the ground I managed to convince my daughter to take some photos. She had a nice Transformers(Bumblebee) dress and wanted some shots of it so we set out to capture the moment. Here are some of the shots.
Her favourite Transformer is …wait for it… Bumblebee.
I am taking a portraiture course at St Lawrence college with a couple of students that have been on other courses with me. Sharon, Scott et al are enjoying the course and getting some interesting shots. Our instructor Mara brought in 3 models to help out with the focus of lighting in a natural setting.
I look forward to the rest of the course. Be sure to check back to see what comes next.
I participated in two separate shoots recently and had the opportunity to shoot with some very talented ladies as well as photographers. The result for me was some fantastic shots in the pinup genre. Really my first foray into the genre and the experience was great. Models that I had the pleasure of shooting with were: Audrey Hipturn,
Gypsy Jones.
Rhapsody Blue
Justine RB
All in all I had a great time working with these ladies and collaborated to make some great shots.
