Week 12/52

Week 12 was another shoot in the school studio. My buddy Matt needed some new head shots to send to a modeling agency, and I need some shots for my school project. He had a few wardrobe changes, but this is one I enjoyed the most.

Fill light 3/4 lighting on camera right, and then kicker/rim lighting camera left. Shot on a gray background.

SLACKKING!!! Week 11/52

Sorry I havent posted on this blog in a while. (really doubt anyone is reading it tho. haha. :p ) But time to play some catch-up.

Week 11 was shot in the school studio. I saw an ad in Transworld Snowboard, and I really liked the catch lights. I put 3 slim soft boxes together and formed them into a triangle to get the effect. Turned out pretty cool. Now only if I can really get some of my own lights I could do this outside of school :\. Oh well...

The additional shot is from another angel to see how it was set up.

Week 9 and 10 / 52

Where to start...

The past couple of weeks have been supppper crazy. Did an awesome photo shoot with Wendi, Liz, Cha Cha, and Laney. then after that, well... I got Married! Then we left for our honeymoon in the West Caribbean for a week, and now we are here... on my 23rd birthday! whoot!

So here's an update to the 52 project, at Shot of Wendi in the bad ass military jacket that Laney brought in, and Cha Cha did the hair and make up.

Week 7/52 San Diego is the Sky Limit

Rushed down to San Diego to get a a shot of the city sky line. The first stop we went I didn't really like, the Hyatt buildings were to straight on. Drove down the street a little further down and found this place behind a restaurant. (Which I really want to check out, cause it looked really good).

30 second exposure, cropped and processed in Lightroom and in Photoshop. (c'mon when does California really get blueish purplish skies???)

Start of a new 52

Well, I figure since I see a lot of people doing a 365 project, I figure I'll do a 52 project... since i really dont have to the time to take a photo a day, I'll do one for a the week...
So this week's photo is of my friend Julio. We went golfing at the Menifee Lakes Golf course on the Palms side... saw the sun setting behind the palm trees and I had him pretend to putt.
