recent work: Training environment

I recently completed work for a local information technology training company. They were tired of using the same old stock photography for their catalogs so we put together a small shoot utilizing real life instructors and several employees acting as students. By using real people you achieve a real people look. The client ended up with a nice catalog of images and was very satisfied. Here a a couple of my favorites.

The shoot took a half-day inside their local training room. Myself and their marketing team pretty much rambo'd through. It was great working with their team and employees. I tried to make it a fun time for all. The hardest part is getting the lights down for each different shoot. Some were better than others. It is very important to work your shot list and develop a lighting plan ahead of time if possible.

I spent a week relaxing in the mountains of NC out near Fontana Lake. We live in a great state.

Nothing fancy. Just wanted to share. New work to come and hopefully some images taken with my Iphone 4.

Portrait of Traci

I had fun teaching my friend Meri some off-camera lighting and my philosophy for producing an image. Meri did most of the shooting but I was able to snatch a couple good ones during demonstrations.

Traci had modeled before and she has a great look. This shot was with one SB-800 fired through a shoot through umbrella. Nikon D300 with 85 1.4 lens @ 1/200 f4. I love this lens!

This photo was my demonstration of fake sun. It was darn near high-noon when we were shooting. I put a 1/2 CTO gel on a second SB-800 and had it held to the rear and camera right. I think it was full power. The other light source was a 1/2 powered SB-800 shot through a white shoot through umbrella.

I hope you got what you need Meri. I'm certainly pleased with these two images.

Recent faces in front of my lens

Business has been picking up a bit and blogging hasn't. Sometimes life just keeps you busy and before you know it time has moved on down the road. Here are a couple outtakes from a recent shoot involving a church in downtown Raleigh. It was a challenging shoot with hundreds of people around but only a few that could be photographed. The following two people asked me to photograph them.

This woman pleaded with me to take her portrait while I was working. She insisted she needed it for her family who hadn't seen her in years. I took a couple photos and handed her my card but she continued to plead with me to send it for her. She didn't have a lot of possessions in the world so I agreed and gave her a pen to write the address down. I hope it ended up in the right spot.

This young man was very nice. He approached me asking if I needed more subjects. I had pretty much wrapped up the shoot, but I obliged him anyway. A great smile indeed.

The last photo is my nephew Ben. He's a grown man now with the world in front of him. Take it Ben. Take the world in front of you and don't waste any chances for self improvement and adventure.

Lastly, I ordered a new camera today. It should be here in mid-July! You'll have to wait to find out.
