Simple is good


Ya know...sometimes simple is just better.

Yesterday, shot a catalog for a client that distributes yarn all over the planet. All those knitting needles were put into action when the economy went all broke and stuff. Anyway, here is a shot I did using a small strobe fired through a "brolly" (love those things!). Just a wee bit of balancing with daylight and it looks real sweet. The strobe gave us a real pop on the detail which is what the client asked we concentrate on.

*Side note: this is Amanda. First ever photo shoot.

Simple. Don't complicate.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Shooting ads is fun!


This is from my dance/ballet catalog. We shoot ads every once in a while but they seem to be wanting more of them. We shot this yesterday after dragging "stuff" from out in the studio yard to grunge the shot up.

This was pretty simple; two ProFoto heads, one each in a Mole-Richardson fresnel.

Fun!

Horses!


Good Sunday all!

I was assigned to shoot a photo essay on the horse industry in central Alabama by a local magazine. I thought I'd post a few of the intial shots here before the magazine gets them. Publication date is to be the February issue of Birmingham Metro Magazine.
