Well it’s been another crazy week around my studio.  I’ve had tons of new stuff to work on.  Fun new projects.  All sorts of ways that I’m trying to stay creative.  It’s been a challenge for me lately.  I feel a bit stifeled in my studio.  I can’t just keep doing the same stuff over and over, and expect new or exciting results.  I think that’s why I’ve been venturing outside my studio so much lately.  I can’t wait to show off the series that I did this weekend.  So much fun, and I got to work with an old friend at this point so that’s cool too.  I love catching up with people in the fashion ind

So I recently got to do some fashion work for the Antoine Du Chez Spa in Cherry Creek.  Which was a total blast.  I love working with their creative team.  It’s a bunch of extremely passionate, and very talented folks that have a blast every time they get together.  They wanted me to come out and shoot their runway show, but I managed to get a few portrait style shots while I was there.

I’ve been learning how to use my beauty dish these days more and more.  I’ve figured out so many great uses for this wonderful little modifier.  It’s a blast to work with and produces such interesting light.  Some might call it boring, but it’s just so versatile with what you can do with the shots later.  I

See I’m already doing better staying on top of my bloggin…. I’m already patting myself on the back.  I’m going to try and make this part of my saturday afternoon, is getting a few blog posts out to keep people up to date on what I’m up to these days.  I’ve been hanging out with a few Hudson Valley photographers and that’s been a real blast lately.  It’s so much fun meeting other photographers and talking shop, talking models, lighting…. all the drama in this biz.  It’s totally fun.  I’ve also just redesigned my whole website.  Blog not included.  I’m thinking about leaving the blog for a while.  I don’t really feel like changing it, and it’s a big pain, and lets be honest nobod

I had such a blast working with barbie.  She’s a local model, with a heart of gold.  Super sweet girl, I couldn’t believe how nice she was.  Anyways we wanted to put some new looks into her book.  She had worked with a lot of the big names in Hudson Valley so I had to make sure that we got something new and fresh for her.  I wanted to make sure these shots stood out amongst her other shots in her in portfolio so I worked on getting some new fresh lighting ideas, and some new looks from her.

Another installment of me trying to do a bit more blogging, and at least writup something more often for my photography work.  Say hello to Alita, a local model that was looking to beef up her book with a more diverse look.  She had plenty of promotional style work in her portfolio, but we wanted to add some more high fashion style headshots.  So we worked on getting stuff that certainly had sex apeal, but showed off her true beauty.  I wouldn’t call this beauty work, but it certainly highlights what a great face she has.

This first shot I did using freelensing, which was a frustrating blast.  I only got about 3 great shots, but man were they fun to wo
