Harbinger

Rene Reyes giving this great moody vibe as he approaches the small chapel on the Eaves movie ranch set near Santa Fe. In this shot I asked Rene to approach the doorway while I stood in the very back of the chapel using the doorway to frame him. Image processed in Camera Raw but otherwise no other editing. The scenery and Rene’s attitude really come together to create this compelling portrait.

Marathon Melancholy

Malea looking rather melancholy during our shoot at the Marathon building back in 2011. I’ve been having fun going through some of these older images and re-processing them. A little split toning can go a long way to pump up the mood and feel of an image.

Meanwhite, on the Moody Side of Things…

Courtenay knows how to set a mood and can “flip the switch” in an instant. She brings an amazing sense of drama to this image. On the technical side this is lit with a single strobe in a 20″ beauty dish with a grid providing a nice tight circle of light. The sharp eyed viewer may note that her hands are cropped in this shot which is usually a “no-no”. In this case it adds to the moodiness here by throwing a bit of un-setteledness (is that a word?) to the overall feel of the image.
