Shop Talk Group Shoot

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going to another one of our Shop Talk group shoots. These are always fun because you get the chance to work with a couple of different models and not just one. Also, it is great to be there with several other photographers at the same time. It gives you a chance to see how they interact with the model and direct them (something I am still working on personally) and also how they get some of the photos that they get. This time we met in Heritage Park in Junction City. I shot 2 women, and also got to take a few more shots of Liz (she usually plays modeling dummy for us during these things). It was cold as hell outside, and I discovered that I had apparently left one of my gloves in my rental car in GA the week before (not a good thing). Anyway here are a few of them. Make sure you check out my Flick stream for more too.

A night out shooting

So as you may know, I am a member of a group of local photographers on facebook.  The other day one of the other guys, Luke Townsend posted a message asking for someone to help him out with a night shoot.  I love Luke's flash work and since I am mildly retarded (ok fully retarded) when it comes to working with flash I jumped at the chance.  We went KSU and managed to get into this cool little "basement" section to shoot two models.  After spending a fair amount of time getting the lighting setup just right (never truely realized what all was involved in it to get "the right look" we started shooting.  Some of the shots were great (hopefully he will get some up on his blog before to long).  In addition to helping set the lighting and generally playing gopher boy, I was also the lighting dummy part of the time.

Who knew that I looked good in purple?

Fontana Photo Shoot

So after falling behind with it a little bit, I am finally done editing Fontana's photo shoot.  You might remember Fontana from our "Shop Talk" group shoot last week.  Take a look at some of what we were able to come up with.

You can see the rest of Fontana's photos here on my Flickr page.

Shop Talk Group Shot

So today Kim setup a group shot for members of our facebook group "Shop Talk"  I was one of 6 photographers who went out there for the day.  We had three models, including Liz who has modeled for Kim before.  We were shooting in front of one of the gyms on base.  Its is on the historic part of the base and also we had a fresh snow fall.  This was my first time working with any models at all, and I have to say, I had a blast doing it.  I should have some of the photos up here shortly to share with everyone.
