Autumn in Santa Fe

Autumn in Santa Fe with the stunning Terra Wise. This shot by the nearby rail yard is just so full of color (and beauty) I had to keep looking back at the adjustments to confirm I didn’t increase the saturation. I didn’t but it sure looks that way. I can’t emphasize enough how great Terra is to work with.. but I’ll keep saying it anyway 🙂

Terra and the Wall

Very excited to share the first of many images I captured yesterday with the lovely Terra Wise here in Santa Fe. It has been such a privilege to get to work with her and I can’t say enough good things about what a rock star she is to work with! Thank you so much Terra for gracing the space in front of my lens.

Mandy’s Magical Mystery Tour Bus

It’s so groovy having Mandy Berry back in front of my camera since every time she’s there, something magic happens. This past Saturday was no exception. and Mandy showed up with some amazing wardrobe which completes the scene here nicely. Mandy’s leaning against a VW Westfalia camper van courtesy of @trippintn_ which was the centerpiece of this shoot where we had several models on hand. Mandy firmly left her imprint on this vehicle and I think the feeling was mutual. Saturation and color adjusted to taste and to be “period correct”.

Amazing Annsley

The amazing Annsley Wood working the space in front of my lens from the wheel of Darin Simmons’ VW Westfalia camper van. The view through the windshield creates this lovely, faded color palette and yet Annsley’s eyes cut right through the glare and grab the viewer here. So many more images coming from this shoot.

Headshot of the Week! 10-5-2020

Bob F. is this week’s “Headshot of the Week!” for this first full week of October, 2020. This isn’t the first time I’ve shot with Bob but this shot from our most recent session really stands out for me. Great smile and engagement here and Bob’s really showing his friendly and outgoing nature in this image for sure.

Lighter than Air

A favorite shot from my recent shoot with the lovely and super talented Delaine Kylynn Dobbs. I’m calling this one “Lighter than Air” as she appears to be floating just off the floor. Her right foot is not quite touching and you can barely see her left heel is off the ground too. I assume she’s on her left toe (hidden behind the dress) but who knows.. she could very well be floating. There are more to come from this shoot and I think we’ll be working together soon on some more images. Thank you Delaine for gracing the space in front of my camera!
I also want to give a shout out to Martin O’Connor Photography for his dance photography workshop I attended a couple of years ago. It really helped me to understand how to work with dancers and understand their needs and what they want to see in their images.
