Christina Head Shots – August 2009

admin — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 06:11:18 +0000

Christina is a friend and a single mother. In her mid 40’s and back on the dating circuit (yes, I said mid-40’s), Christina asked me to shoot some photos for her eHarmony.com page to show the real person she is. She is a beautiful lady, so it really wasn’t that big of a challenge.

With a single strobe and a nice afternoon in Lake Forest, I was able to capture a good representation of her in several different outfits and hair styles.

Jamie Studio Shoot – October 2008

admin — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:23:11 +0000

It has been a year since Jamie and I got together for a photo shoot, so this time we shot in a new studio. Since 2007, Jamie is more than just a year older. She has changed her hair, which has changed her whole look. But what hasn’t changed is how fun Jamie is to work with.

We had a great evening, shooting over 300 photos in 4 hours, about 5 outfit changes. We used 3 different backdrops… black, white and an orange dyed muslin. This gave us 3 different contrasts and some texture to work with. Most of the shots were done with a single softbx (72″ octagon) on a 300watt strobe. On a few, a second softbox was lit up.

All shots were done with a Canon 1DS Mark III at 21.1MP in Camera RAW. At arund 25-30MB an image, 300 shots was almost a gigabyte of photos.

This is a large collection below… my 62 favorite shots (I know, that’s a lot, but they came out so good!)

Jenna – August 2008

Today was a quick shoot with Jenna. This was her first headshot shoot, and there will be more to come. You can see why by looking at the photos.

Sometime soon, we will move into some more creative, outdoor shoots and show off the rest of her fabulous look.

Jenna is only 17 in these photos, so he wasn’t even ready for her senior photos yet!

Brooke – July 2008

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:44:14 +0000

Brooke is an absolute doll and a pleasure to work with. She is experienced in make-up and hairstyling, and has quite a sexy look about her with her pouty lips and beautiful skin. She has a great personality in front of the camera. She can take on many different looks in a single session behind the camera.

Shooting Brooke was a lot of fun. She is open to ideas and playful with the camera. I hope to do more with her in the future.

Summer – July 2008

This is Summer, a neighbor and a good friend. This young lady is only 15 years old and has quite a grip on life. She wrangles 3 horses, which explains her physical shape. This was not a planned photo shoot, but the results were pretty fun.

One afternoon I recieved my new photo backdrop mounting system in the mail. As I was hauling the boxes in, Summer stopped by to help. After getting the backdrop set up, I encouraged Summer to let me shoot her as a test. It took some encouragement (almost begging) as she was totally unprepared for beign photographed. But being a photographer, I saw a beauty and uniqueness in her and wanted to take advantage of it while I had the chance.

I took all of the images to sepia as the look fit the photos best.

Marissa – July 2008

admin — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 02:35:47 +0000

Short, spunky and full of fire, this young lady walked into my studio all raring to go. Marissa wanted to start off her portfolio with studio shots, then move on to some outdoor work. I was happy to be one of the first photographers to spend a little time with her in front of a camera.

Marissa is very self assured and confident in her abilities. I wish her lots of luck in her future as a model.

Jamie – October 2007

Jamie is one of my all time favorite models to work with. She is beautiful, full of life, completely professional to work with and just a joy to be around.

Jamie is based in Orange County, and is available for paid modeling events around her schedule.

In this photo shoot, we used an empty house of a friend in Lake Forest, CA. I didn’t shoot alone, as I had two buddies join me for the shooting experience. The photos here are just a small sampling of the great shots I got of Jamie. Stay tuned as I will be working with Jamie again this year.
