Photo Shoots

Look for the clouds

March 4, 2010 • Blog, Photo Shoots

It is interesting to see what motivates people to shoot. Inspiration to create comes in many forms, and nothing gets me more excited than seeing an interesting sky develop.  I have never been interested in stripping in a sky that wasn’t there in my shot.  I like some of these images, but I would rather Read More

simple light

February 19, 2010 • Blog, Photo Shoots

As much as I love an excuse to get out every Ranger and Quadra I own, sometimes one simple light is all it takes.  I love the quality of the Elinchrom Octabanks, from the ‘big daddy’ over 6 feet in diameter to the smaller sizes as well.  I was working on images for an upcoming Read More

Here is a look at the photo shoot from the other day and gear we used.

strobe and rock climbing

November 8, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

Thanks to the help of Bogen, I was finally able to get an image that has been on my  list for awhile.  I have photographed rock climbing for years with available light.  I’ve added flash to some rock climbing images, but generally from below the climbers.  What about having lights right there on the vertical Read More

more winter fun…

October 30, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

The snow just won’t stop falling out here!  We had to go out again today and work on more winter images.  Today we shot cross country skiing against the snow covered trees, a great winter scene.  We followed a similar formula as yesterday in terms of lighting except we used a small softbox on one Read More

Belly Dancing under the Brooklyn Bridge

October 22, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

Just spent a fabulous weekend in NYC teaching a flash workshop for Photo Quest Adventures and catching up with friends.  Talk about access…we had a little rain one day so Mirjam Evers just got us into Bathhouse Studios, 4000 sq. feet of shooting space with huge cycs and incredible backgrounds, a photographer’s dream studio.  We Read More

mountain biker

October 8, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

We found a location near the Wyoming border recently that I have wanted to shoot at before the snow flies here in Colorado, and since it is snowing today we were lucky to get it done.  Often times what drives me is location rather than subject.  I keep a list of locations written down that Read More

racquetball

September 21, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

When you live in a smaller town, say 100,000 people, you start to think you have found about every location to shoot.  Sometimes I just get in my car and drive around hoping to find some abandoned truck or gutted house that would make an interesting location.  On one such trip I found new racquetball Read More

Introducing the Elinchrom Ranger Quadra…

June 28, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

Okay, I’ll admit I like new photo gear, but getting the new Elinchrom Ranger Quadra delivered to me in Wyoming while teaching a photo workshop was better than my first bike at Christmas!  Yep, this lighting system is going to change the way you use flash.  I’ve longed  for more power and faster recycle time Read More

convertible cars

June 16, 2009 • Blog, Photo Shoots

One sure sign that summer has arrived in Colorado are convertibles driving down the street with radios playing loud.  This concept inspired me to create a dreamy summer shot.  Photographing people in mirrors is a tried and true concept, so I thought I would spice things up some with interesting light.  Katrina is a friend, Read More
