During my last shoot with Natalie, I shot almost entirely with a very wide open aperture setting. This made for shots that have a very narrow depth of field. I really like how the in-focus area of the image draws your eye. I also just really like the look of a totally blurred background. I [...]
Over the weekend I had the privilege of shooting with Natalie Minx again. Our first shoot was fantastic and we had such a fun time. I’m glad that she came back to Hawaii.
Rather than shooting in the woods like we did last time, this time I chose a secluded beach. I always enjoy seeing how different [...]
Tonight I got my new Epson 4490 Photo scanner! What a huge difference! The quality of the scans are fantastic! I’m a very happy photographer having purchased it! Here’s just a few scans from my last shoot with Sera. Compare these to the earlier post…
On Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting again with Ashleigh. I met Ashleigh last summer and we had a great time working together then. And of course we had a great time on Sunday as well. Since I had already shot with her with lava rocks and in the woods, I decided that [...]
It ended up that I had two shoots yesterday. The first shoot of the day was a sunrise shoot that turned out to be pretty awesome. We went to a location that I had shot at before. Although this time we hiked down around some tide pools that I had never seen [...]
Today’s shoot went very well. Elizabeth, who was visiting from Virginia, was wonderful and It was a real treat to work with her. We went to a beach that I had scouted a few weeks ago. It’s one of those beaches where there isn’t another soul around. So we had the [...]
In between shoots, I usually look back through old shoots to see what I missed or looking for lessons to learn from my mistakes. Today I went looking through a shoot I did with the model who I now refer to as “Goddess”. She has asked that I keep her name anonymous.
When I [...]
As I mentioned earlier… I never got around to editing the shoot I did with Sylvia back in February so I decided to start going through it. I absolutely love working with her because of her eyes. From the first shoot I did with her I couldn’t get over how beautiful her eyes [...]
As I was going through some of my past shoots I realized that I never fully edited a shoot that I had done with Sylvia back in February. I remember making her a cd of the shots…unedited, but I never did edit them myself. So I started going through that shoot and thought [...]
On my last two shoots, something that come up was the idea of climbing trees nude. The shots I got are quite interesting and beautiful. As I’ve been editing two shoots simultaneously I found both of these images and felt the need to share this interesting Phenomenon. Maybe one day I’ll do [...]
