Headshot of the Week! 9-6-2021

Our friend Laura is kicking off Headshot of the Week for September with this image from our session earlier this year at the studio. Laura has a such a great, relaxed smile and connection to the camera here it was an easy choice for HotW!.

Sense Movement & Exercise Promo

I recently got spend a morning shooting promotional images for the newly opened Sense Movement & Exercise location in Cool Springs. Nicole (pictured) and Carey were great fun to work with as were their friends who came out to be models for the shoot. This image is a good example of the warm and bright feeling of the yoga/Pilates space at their location. This shot was done with just the ambient light from the front windows to camera right. They also have a very reflective moveable wall to camera left that provided some nice fill light for this space.

Autumn in Fashion

Decided this shot of Autumn worked really well in black and white so after a few tweaks of the B&W mixer in Camera Raw, here she is. Autumn is such a stunner there really isn’t a bad shot to be found from our session. (Of course I made some out of focus shots but that’s not on her) Looking forward to a next session, Autumn!

Serenity

Trishae is back this week with another image from my week at the Santa Fe Workshops. This relaxed and casual moment keeps holding my attention when I look through this series. I think it is interesting to observe all the triangles that appear once one starts looking. The way her left arm echoes her nose, the angle of her right arm, etc. I think it adds a bit of energy to this otherwise serene image.

Headshot of the Week! 8-30-2021

Niija is closing out Headshot of the Week! for August 2021 and you can probably guess this was an easy choice.
This shot is from my workshop, The Headshot, From Start to Finish and this was one of my first workshops I’ve been able to host since COVID shut everything down. We had a great turnout of models for this workshop and Niija was very patient while we worked with a whole family of models that arrived just before she did. She was a total pro and, as you can see, she brought her A-Game to the space in front of the camera.

Dance on Air

I have so many images of Kevin in”flight” from the Saddleback Ranch it’s going to take some time for me to share all the “keepers”. I blame Kevin of course since it was his ability to remain airborne for so long during our shoot. 🙂

LOL Thursday 8-26-2021

I didn’t have to look far to find a fun “moment” photo of Jaquarius for today’s LOL Thursday. This was shot from one of the outbuildings at OnTrack Studios as we tried to come up with something to do with the door Jay is holding on to here. I really need to start recording video during these sessions so I can find out what we said to get this laugh. It’s always fun shooting with this guy so if you’re looking for a model for an upcoming shoot you should hit him up! You’ll be glad you did.

Classic with Alison

Alison Baughman owning the space in front of my lens from our classic Hollywood style shoot earlier this year. I can’t stress enough how wonderful Alison plays her part in this and the rest of this series. The lighting, processing, and wardrobe take it pretty far but without Alison’s presence and attitude it wouldn’t be as engaging.
