Mission 47

This is my first shoot since being back in Colorado. I did a duet photoshoot with Nikki Desmarais. she used a Nikon while I used my Canon. I purchased a pocket wizard and slave for my external flash and I must say, it was a wise choice. I used a 5 in 1 reflector and an external flash (580EXII). My camera of choice; Canon 60D. My model; Molly Ruth. Thank you both for helping, letting me assist, and being my model. You ladies rock!!

P.S.: This goes to a certain someone and not to the model. Way to ruin art.

Mission 46

So this was a shoot over a shoot. My friend Alex Mitroff found this location while him and I were location scouting and decided we'ed do a shoot here. The shoot he did was of two people in a wedding dress and suit during the sunrise. My shoot was just one person in a purple dress. I had Alex, Jesse, and Corissa help me do my shot. Alex was my speed light holder and Jesse and Corissa were my reflector/ wind blower assistants. My model was Jessie Lawyer. Although I may not have actually got the sunrise, I still got a shot worth looking at. I did some photoshop work on these to enhance the colors and put in my own fake sunrise. But thats kind what it looked like just a few minutes before I was actually able to shoot. So I would just like to throw out thanks to everyone who came along and helped during such early times. You all rock!!

 P.S.: I also added in a special photo at the end to show you the starting image I was working with. Enjoy!!

Mission 45

    Decided to go out and do another photoshoot on Maui, Hawaii. For this shoot I only used a tripod and a 5 in 1 reflector. My model was very excellent and understanding when it came to asking her what it was I was needing of her. So to my model, Thank you very much Kristine. P.S.: I also jumped into some of these pics to spice it up. hehehe.

Mission 44

So here is my first real shoot here in Hawaii. It's actually a relief to actually do some real photography of my own. With this shoot I had one assistant and a 5 in 1 reflector which I just purchased. Woot Woot!!! The location was a bit difficult to get to but we managed. With the help of my model (Erica), we came up with the idea of using mud on herself, and this is what we came up with.

Mission 43

I Went out today and did a photoshoot for a girl named Alex V. who wanted her senior pictures done. Well, with the help of her Boyfriend, Chuck Parks, we were able to get the shots she was wanting. Chuck used my silver side reflected, which I made out or a white board and tinfoil, and helped light the subject. We went all over Roseburg and out in Glide to get our shots. Thank you Chuck and Alex for your help and cooperation.

Mission 42

So I decided to mess around some more in Photoshop with an image I had and a couple I found online. I used a couple different tutorials offline to help me get along as well. Not really much else to say.

Mission 41

So a bunch of friends came over from Colorado to Oregon to visit me for a week and we decided to drive around and find interesting locations. Well, we also decided to do a Poison Ivy shoot and a Michiru from Sailor Moon shoot. I think they came out pretty kewl! We also met another Photographer moving to Portland and her name was LZ. Her website is www.LZphotovision.com. She let us use her Reflector which was a big help from my make shift one.
