End of the year, and looking towards the next!

I've been a little busy lately with life, so shooting has been pushed back a little. I wanted to do one last update before the year is out.

First up, a shoot from back in September. Shanna, playing tennis.

Next up, an interesting fellow I met one night, Aaron. Aaron had a very passionate personality, very inquisitive. So I thought bubbles and light would compliment that.



Now, on to Victoria. She asked for some photos in her Kung Fu and TKD uniforms. A lot of fun to shoot!

And finally, Lane Anton, in his military uniform. This was a fun series, playing around with different processing.

I moved into a new house over the weekend, and will have some dedicated studio space. I'm really looking forward to pushing through new things next year. I've got some big plans for next year. Zombie themed shoots, trying my hand at some compositing, new and interesting things with light!

Finally, another new shoot!

I know everyone reading this has been waiting with baited breath. Here's a new shoot!

I went to a workshop/nikon show and tell sponsored by Precision camera. I wanted to check out the location, and the new toys. For evaluation. Yeah. Definitely just evaluation.

The location. Dunvegan Keep. Beautiful spot, awesome scenes. I had a blast trying to get lost.

Precision provided 4 excellent models. Unfortunately, I only was able to shoot with three of them. Regardless, all were very fun to shoot with. Without further words, here's Kat, Jessa, and Xavior.

Fashion, Final

Well, shooting is all done for the Fashion class.
It's been a fun ride as far as photography has gone. I've learned a fair bit about working fast, working with models, and working with assistants.

So, here's the last batch. First, a band called The Orphan Dream. Good guys. All these locations were in a 100 yard radius.

Next up, I shot with Emily again.

This has been a great semester, and I hope to keep up my momentum for these shoots!

Fashion 3rd.

The fashion class is almost finished. It's been an awesome ride so far.
I'm thinking I'll try to keep some of this momentum after the class, and keep setting up shoots.

First up is Leslie, shot at my friend Miguel's bar, Nomad. Thanks a bunch to him for letting us shoot there, thanks as always to Jess, Howard, and Brianne for the help doing the shoots. I couldn't get any of these done without those guys.

Next up was the wonderful and enthusiastic Katheryan. I'd definitely like to shoot with her again.

There's only a week or two of shooting left. I'm looking forward to see exactly what I have when the dust settles.

Fashion, part the two.

More updates from the fashion class!

First up, Matt, wearing an awesome suit.

Then the most awesome Shannon. This girl was prepared, and was a whole lot of fun to shoot with. We tried out a little bit of set building in the studio. It was fast and easy. I think it worked out pretty well, and will be playing around with it more in the future.

Only a few more shoots for the class! I'll post my best from the whole semester after it's all done.

Fashion Photo Class!

I'm sure all both of you reading this know, but I'm in a fashion photography class at ACC this summer. It's a very aggressive class. At least one shoot a week, sometimes more. We get our own models, ideas, and manage the shoot. It's a great experience. I've already done some of this type of thing, but I'm still finding myself challenged.

The class ends July 27. As I finish shoots, I'll put posts up. Here's the backlog.
First, a shoot before the class started, that just happens to work for some of the assignments -
As always, clicking the image will take you to the full gallery.


Alanna

Everything after this was shot either during class, or for class.

Nate was great to come in very last minute to get some head shots done. I'm glad he lived so close.

DJ Nate B

Rachel was really awesome. She played along nicely, even considering she's not normally a model. She's friends with Felicity, a most awesome makeup artist that comes in about once a week to create some excellent makeup and hair.

Rachel

Emily answered a casting call on Model Mayhem that I put up. She was truly a professional, beautiful, and patient model. I only had a couple concepts in mind, so I contacted the ever popular Jen Hellow. She picked up a few things from Flipnotics, the coffee and clothing store where she works. The hat, jewelery, and white outfit are all from Flips. This was a very fun shoot, and I finally felt like I was hitting a little more of my stride. Definitely check out this shoot!

Emily Rose

And finally, Kat. I've shot with Kat a few times, as she's also in the photo program at ACC. I finally captured a little of how awesome this girl is.

Kat


As always, comments, suggestions, etc are welcome and appreciated!
