Full on Glam with Jessica
Jessica’s back today with another favorite from this series of b&w shots taken at WPPI 2022. I really enjoyed working with the Fuji GFX cameras despite their bulk. They handle a little slowly compared to full frame cameras but they are a huge leap over how slow medium format digital was just a few years ago. Also the eye autofocus is extremely good. I think it beat my A7rIII at consistency.

Garage Strollin’
Jaquarius just strollin’ in one of my favorite nearby spaces. This parking garage is within walking distance from where I live and was only built a few years ago. However, it has the look of a place that is much older and as such, it has tons of character as does my subject here 🙂

Headshot of the Week! 3-28-2022
Laura is closing out Headshot of the Week! for March of 2022 with this capture from our session back in February. She and I had tried to schedule her session on more than one occasion and last month we finally were able to make it happen and I’m very glad we did! I had a feeling if I got her in front of my camera she’d make for an excellent Headshot of the Week! 🙂

LOL Thursday 3-24-2022
I knew I’d get some LOL Thursday material shooting with Jaquarius this past Sunday afternoon. Whenever we work together we end up with a lot of these moments. J is such an easy model to work with and one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet 🙂

Late Night Light
Just hangin’ outside around midnight at Ellis Island in Las Vegas with the lovely Jessica Wood. This shot has Jessica standing next to the backlit “fence” on the wall near the entrance. I used my Rokinon (Samyang) 45mm 1.8 lens for this shot and I have to say it might be one of the most underrated lenses around. It may not be the sharpest lens I have but the overall rendering and excellent autofocus have it punching well above its weight.
