The beautiful Allee-Sutton Hethcoat here working her magic during Ashley Hylbert’s recent portrait workshop at White Avenue Studio. This low-key portrait was created using a simple, one light setup with an AD600 Strobe to camera left with s 24×34″ softbox. The light is feathered (turned in the direction of the camera in this case) to keep the light off the gray background allowing it to go very dark behind her. Allee does an amazing job of drawing the viewer into the image and keeping you guessing at what should could be seeing and thinking.

Seems like just the other day we were enjoying the Summer sun at The Dive Motel for this shoot. Annsley Wood of course did an amazing job in front of the camera and Amanda handled the hair and makeup making my job of final editing super easy! Annsley’s showing off this top from Gucci provided by The Luxury Label Nashville for this shoot. Put it all together and this is definitely one of my favorites from this shoot.

A fun collaboration with my friend and model LaTisha Marie Harris. She was wanting to do a shoot with my bike and I happen to have an EXO – R1 Air helmet from SCORPION USA that I’m in the process of reviewing for WebBikeWorld. Perfect opportunity for some beauty shots with the helmet ! Of course Latisha totally steals the attention from the helmet 🙂. She’s got fantastic intensity and she just looks right though the viewer here. Such a great talent and so glad we got to work together on this.

Jimmy Hall’s bringing us “Headshot of the Week!” this week with this shot from our recent session here at HCA Healthcare. I’ve shot with Jimmy before and had a good feeling about this latest session as he’s able to flash that awesome smile on-demand! Plus this time around he’s sporting a beard which works very well on him. Great job here, Jimmy!
Mecca Riane working the space in front of my camera in this shot from downtown Santa Fe. Like my shoot with Terra Wise, there are a lot of images to come from this shoot. Mecca has a great eye for finding interesting spots in which to shoot and I love how we have this soft, warm light bouncing in from camera right (the sun was actually to our left and behind us a bit). And if you think that coat looks cool from the side, it gets better when you see the front and back 🙂
