That Hannah Lee Attitude

Hannah Lee giving the camera a ton of attitude in the is shot from our recent session. This young lady has some serious modeling chops and needs little to no direction to create a great connection to the viewer. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we got a lot of post-worthy shots out of this session so keep an eye on this space for more images with Hannah.

Amazing Mecca

One of the many of my favorite images with Mecca during my visit to Santa Fe last year. The late afternoon sun was really working with us we walked around downtown Santa Fe, creating some beautiful shadows for us to play with.

Gettin’ Fit with Jaquarius

Can you say “Fitness!”? I think Jaquarius ( @fanatic_jay ) certainly can and this shot from his @model_positive session with Jaylene Hall and me clearly shows it. This isn’t the first image of Jaquarius I’ve posted from this session but I feel it’s one of the most impressive. From that intense stare to those crazy awesome abs this image really screams “Fitness Apparel / Gym Equipment” advert. I have to say I’m both loving this shot and yet hating it just a bit for how it makes me feel about my “one ab”. (The phrase 6-pack vs 2 liter comes to mind) 🙂

Model Positive with Jaylene

The awesome Jaylene Hall from Model Positive was in the studio this past weekend with this killer dress. The thing is, she and I didn’t plan on shooting at this time but we ended up with some time to kill and she had this dress in her car. Worked out pretty well I’d say!

Time Travel with Micael

The beautiful Micael Leigh travelling into the past during this shoot with trippintn_ ‘s VW Westfalia camper van. Micael came to this shoot dressed perfectly for the feel and vibe we were looking for to go with this classic VW van. This shot was taken through the windshield with the glare providing a washed out “vintage color film” look without the need to create the effect in post. The low sun to camera right is providing the main light while a Godox AD600 strobe in a 48″ round softbox is adding some soft fill from camera left.

This portrait breaks some rules with the way Micael’s left eye is out of view and the way her nose “breaks” the line of her face but the overall result I feel is worth those minor issues.

Damp and Drizzly Day

Dustin is totally owning the space in front of the camera in this capture taken at Sinking Creek Farm last year. If it looks like it was damp and drizzly there I can confirm it was. However, it was a perfect chance to create some moody, cinematic style portraits and I feel like we nailed it!

Less is More

Ruta’s here demonstrating how, in lighting, less can be more with this shot from Ashley Hylbert’s workshop earlier this year. Lighting (sun) is from overhead and behind the white wall (foam board) with just a bit of fill coming from camera left. Even with her wearing a white top, her hair frames her face and her connection to something out of the frame makes you wonder what she sees.
