Turkey Day!


Oh what the heck!

With a houseful of family, Elaine and I decided to do a nice menu and I figured I'd just share it with everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving . . . keeping in touch!


Often times I show a shot here and a shot there of my dance/team/ballet shoots for my Florida client. This time, I figured I'd show a final shot. Here's an image that was used as a full page ad in a trade magazine. It's basically a bright white background with an open strobe for the main light.

Sometimes the most simple set up yields very nice result.

Cheers!

Nov 18 . . . Thursday night . . .


Sorry for missing my post on Sunday. I was in my Ft Lauderdale FL studio shooting for a dance catalog.

There were so many shots over the two days (each needing a gray card according to client wants) that I decided to have some fun with them. I've posted here a few of my favorites out of the hundred some odd we shot.

Hope you like them! They are useful as well as fun.

Cheers!

Yoga


I was assigned to photograph a yoga instructor at her home based yoga studio for a Birmingham (AL) magazine. This was done with nothing but ambient lighting, using a very long exposere (for this kind of thing) and turned out to have the very look I envisioned . . . warm and contemplative.
