Baron – Beach Portrait Session
Took the pup up to the cabin this weekend – his first time on a beach and his first exposure to the ocean. I really wanted to get a couple of good portraits of him this weekend – he’s 12 weeks old now and growing so fast that every week he looks like a different [...]
Baron’s First Portrait
Here’s our new Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Baron, age 8 weeks. I shot this as he stood in a doorway watching all the adult Berners romp around on the deck outside. Shooting portraits of puppies is a lot like shooting sports – a combination of understanding behavior, anticipating moments, and quick reflexes
Tucker – 14 weeks
This past weekend I got a chance to do another quick portrait session with Tucker, who is now 14 weeks old. He’s turning into a great dog, full of personality, as you can tell from these shots!
Tucker
I love doing portrait sessions of pets. I’m a huge dog person but also love to photograph all kinds of other animals as well. Here are some shots from a portrait session I did with Tucker, a 9 week old yellow lab, last weekend.
Some portraiture…
I haven’t posted in a while – I’ve been burning the candle at both ends and blog posts are just one of the things that dropped below the line of things that could be accomplished in a given week. Nonetheless, I’ve been shooting a lot – doing a good number of events which I tend [...]
Mila – beautiful light with a single off-camera flash
These shots are from a model session I did a couple of weeks ago – I think they really show the power of small flash lighting, because they were all shot using ambient light and a single SB900 flash through a Lastolite Ezybox, with a white reflector used here and there for fill, no studio [...]
Latest work
I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks because of the holidays (Happy New Year everyone and here’s to a great 2010!) and also because I’ve been crazy busy – 18 shoots over the last month. I shot a ton of holiday events which are great fun (most of the time) and rounded it out [...]
Alana – part 2
I’ve been finishing up the edits on the shots from Golden Gardens over the last 2 weeks. Most of the editing was cleanup of people in the backgrounds, posts and sign removal, levels and color balance, those sorts of things. On a couple of shots I went more deeply into touchup of hair, makeup, etc., [...]
Alana – Golden Gardens
These images are from a shoot I did two weeks ago at Golden Gardens park. It was really cold and Alana was a total trooper – it was about 40 degrees and the wind was blowing from the north so it was damn cold. The light was gorgeous – it was blue skies so hard [...]
Shooting at a photo meetup
This weekend I had the chance to attend a photo meetup (i.e., a group of people getting together to learn/shoot/mingle) sponsored by Pocket Wizard and hosted/emcee’d by pro photographer Mark Wallace. Lots of interesting discussion on studio strobes vs. small flash and how to use radio triggers…Mark was very good about staying neutral despite the [...]
