The beautiful Alison Baughman from our available light photo walk earlier this year. The goal during this shoot was using only available light including sunlight bouncing off of walls, windows, etc. Here Alison is lit by the sun reflecting off the “Bridge Building” behind me and to my right. We were at the stadium side of the river by the pedestrian bridge in this shot.

WPPI is a great place to learn from some wonderful photographers and see new gear and photo related products. My favorite part was getting to meet and work with the lovely Jessica Wood during a Fuji demo shoot. After the shoot, I met up with Jessica and some of her friends at Ellis Island Brewery for a late night photo session just outside the entrance. Light here is from the signage near the entrance and Jessica just shines here!

As I predicted last week, Callie is returning to my feed after her LOL Thursday appearance with the Headshot of the Week! I only had a couple of minutes with Callie to get the shot and this image was number 3 from the session. She showed up ready to roll as you can see here. Great engagement and balance of friendly and professional.

Another captivating image with the lovely Liz Buck from our recent session. With so many to choose from you’re going to see her images pop in my feed for some time to come. Liz really owned the space in front of my lens on this day for sure!

A moment with Nozomi Takasu and her guitar outside OnTrack Studios. After shooting in studio we moved outside for some images since we had some lovely afternoon light. A godox AD300pro and medium softbox was used at camera left to provide a little fill and soften the shadows from the direct sunlight.

Every once in a while I shoot headshots with a dark background and they land here in Headshot of the Week! like this one. Bonnie’s crushing it in front of the camera here with that great connection she has. I also love her glasses as they really work for her and I knew this going in as this isn’t the first time she’s been in front of my camera. Always great working with you, Bonnie!

Stephanie was kind enough to come out and assist me on a shoot Tuesday evening and not only did she bring along her awesome skillset (she’s a great photographer) but also brought the right attitude as demonstrated in today’s LOL Thursday image. Thanks so much Steph!!! 🙂
