I actually think these shots were all the way from last fall.  I had just bought my first medium format camera, and I was having a blast playing with it.  I really loved Lorins look, and I wanted to put together a shoot that was a bit more emotional, and had very little to do with the clothing for a change.  Not that I’m historically all about the clothing, but I wanted these to feel like very emotional portraits.   I wanted to put together a story that was more about the person.

This first shot was actually one of the last shots of the day.  Right as the sun was setting.  Which I have to say with film, it’s super hard to meter this kind of light.  Everything is pretty soft, but yo

Here are a few other shots that I did on that collaboration night with another group of local photographers.  You can read more about that night [here](http://blog.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-photographer-raquel-big-ol-collaboration-night/ “Hudson Valley Photographer { Raquel Big Ol Collaboration Night }”) including my usual ramblings.

This is Tyler.  Who happens to be one of my favorite people in the Hudson Valley fashion scene.  She has a really drop dead gorgeous face, and I absolutely adore the way this girl moves.  It’s really a bit sad she’s not taller, because I feel like she’d have an amazing career as a model.  In this industry though, that’s just a show st

These shots are pretty old too, but I don’t think I ever did a writeup for them. A while back a bunch of us Hudson Valley Photographers got together for a night of drinks, and shooting. Around town, we rarely do stuff like this, but it was great to hang out with a bunch of the other local photogs. We shot at another photographers giant studio space, we had 5-6 models, 5 or so HMUA’s and a group of us photographers. Oh and there was plenty of fireball for the models. I brought some real bourbon though, I can’t stand that fireball stuff.

One of the girls that we invited was Raquel, who at the time had only really done one shoot. Nowadays she’s gone on to shoot with all the top p

I had the opportunity to shoot some headshots for miss Chrissy a couple weeks ago.  She’s actually [Chucks](http://blog.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-headshot-photographer-chuck/ “Hudson Valley Headshot Photographer { Chuck }”) wife.  Which was a ton of fun, because I really just enjoyed being around their energy.  They’re a hilarious couple.  Chrissy is super goofy, which probably explains why she came to me for headshots.  She’s been working with an improv crew lately, and wanted to get some nice headshots for their promotional material.  Honestly, I’m suprised Chrissy didn’t do this kind of stuff sooner, she’s hilarious, and she always has been.

For these

Everyone say hi to Chuck. I recently had the chance to work with chuck to give him some new headshots. He had recently become more of a leader at the tech startup he’s working for, and he wanted to get a headshot that was clean, crisp, and modern. I actually really enjoy doing headshots for people in the Tech industry.  I have quite a bit of history in that industry, it’s actually what I went to school for and I worked for quite a while as a software engineer. So I always feel like it’s really easy for me to relate to people who work in Tech. I’d say I’m certainly pretty gregarious, but when you have a common ground like that it makes it even easier.

Chuck brought his wife along, which was a blast a
