Blog Crazy

I am posting in rapid succession to catch my blog and readers up with my recent shoots. I alternate updating my flickr and this blog. My flickr is more organized so check in with that site too from time to time. 

Here is some picks from a home photo shoot, the ridiculous set up and the results!

Portraits for Leanne

I did a photshoot for my cousin a couple of weeks ago, I believe I mentioned the shoot in a past blog. Here are the results 

Portrait and Office Shoots

Here are a few shots from a job I did last week for a doctor, of himself and his office 

flying moose

In the back woods of Maine near Canada, there lives a flying moose that likes to hang out on the side of the road. Here he is. 

Excitement

I am very excited to do a food photography shoot next monday, to beef up my food portfolio. I checked out a sweet macro lens and a lighting kit and it is on. Oh how I love working with studio lights! 

Today I am going to deliver some pictures of some flower arrangements I shot for a local florist. Hopefully I will be doing more work for him and will get some wedding referrals. 

I am also in the process of finalizing a couple of interior and portraiture shots for some local businesses. 

Flashes

I have been experimenting with using multiple flashes. This is something I really need to learn more about. I have been using my flash on master and using Connies nikon flash on slave, and most of the time it works, but I would like to work more with pocket wizards and more external flashes. I watched the Joe McNally DVD  The Speed of Light recently and learned some tricks from him about how to use speedlites creative and efficiently. 

Today I did a photoshoot today for my cousin. She is freelancing as a make-up artist and Connie and I helped her beef up her portfolio with some photos of her work. The whole thing was one long drawn out ordeal and I ended up posing as the bride in a pretend wedding gown.. yippee. Pictures to come. Todays challenges were dealing with people not showing up, taking pictures of little kids, keeping up the energy level, not getting eaten by bugs, working with flashes in fading light, and not getting frustrated when shit happens and you get tired. 

Cookies and Grasshoppers

Here are a few shots from this past weekend, some impromptu photo-shoots with speedlites.
