Super Intensity

Rene was the “king of intensity” during his time in front of my camera while attending the Santa Fe Workshops back in August. This capture from Eaves Movie Ranch exemplifies Rene’s ability to look right through the viewer creating a very compelling portrait and matching the tone of the surroundings.

Sit Back and Chill

I post quite a few photos of Jaquarius in my feed but I think when you seem the you get why. He is so chill and makes my job super easy it scarcely feels like work.

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!

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. 🙂

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.

Marvelous Madeline

A favorite from our Santa Fe workshops session yesterday afternoon. I was blown away by Madeline during our 45 minutes we had together. She had some fantastic ideas and her wardrobe choice here was perfect for these seafoam colored walls. Keep an eye on my feed in the coming days and weeks for more of Madeline and the other great models that joined us for the week!

A Denim Blue Autumn

Today I’m continuing from yesterday with another image from my shoot the other day with the lovely Autumn Murrell. I really dug the denim outfit she brought and love how it gives these shots that “GAP” advertisement feel. She really knows what looks good on her and it showed during our time in (and outside) the studio. So model AND stylist, right? Seriously glad we’ve gotten to work together

Back in Time with Alison

I recently had the chance to revisit one of my favorite image styles, the classic Hollywood style portrait, with Tribe Talent‘s Alison Baughman. When I reached out to Alison about doing a shoot I didn’t have a specific style in mind yet but, once we started talking, she mentioned photos of Audrey Hepburn and I knew it was time to put on the “vintage photographer” hat. Alison totally owns the space in front of the camera with this hypnotic gaze and she delivers an overall sense of elegance and beauty that even gives Audrey a run for her money 🙂
