Post your best portraits(street, studio, candid etc...).

I've been super busy with assignments this last couple of months but recently had two of my favorite models contact me... they decided they wanted us all to work together. We went into the studio this last saturday and got some great images... this one was by far my favorite of Nina.

5D3 + 24-70 II / Elinchrom's into a pair of Mola Demis.

Looks great Pookie! I still want that assistant job! I'll be happy to fetch drinks, change lighting and batteries, rub oil on the models, whatever you need! ;)

Any time your'e in the area I'll let you jump the line... sadly though, Nina is something special on set, most are not as fun to work with as she is.

Sounds like fun! I'll be sure to show up with coffee, donuts and kolaches for the photo crew along with some tasty rice cakes and coconut water for the models. 8)

Normally I never share paid client images but this will be picked up for the newspaper next week so I thought I'd post up the image. Using a 15mm rect. fisheye on a 5D3 here during practice for the 50th anniversary of the Chamber Orchestra here in Palo Alto. Great music and loads of fun... it was hot as hell though and we sweat our a$$ off in here for 4+ hours. This is from rehearsal before the main show. Talk about mixed lighting and absolutely no flash photography whatsoever allowed... challenging to say the least.

Love it Pookie! This kind of indoor lighting challenge is a pretty common occurrence for me too. This one looks fantastic! Lots of fun! Really neat light, regardless. Thank God for Lightroom is all I can say!

Thanks Rusty... the life of a wedding/event photographer for sure (odd lighting) but this one took the cake. All that blue green and orange stained glass the entire length and both sides of this church just made my heart sink when I entered the building. I usually scout at least a week before but a gig but the client had a venue change literally 2 days before the shoot. It was one of those moments where you just smile and say "Sure, we got this...". then we went out to get the gear and cried in the van for a few minutes ;D
