I just took one light with a refelctive umbrella, Homemade beauty dish and grid spot. So I dropped the stand and started shooting. Again we were pressed for time because as we were leaving we got a call that my mom was one her way over to visit. So we could not stay long.

Comments welcome...

Cheers!

Jayce is in desperate need of a new head shot for his resume… So we did some practice shots out in the backyard Saturday and I just thought this one kind of cool. Sunday we drove down to Texas Ave. and did a few more I will post them later….

Just thought I would play around with the garage mounted flood lights. I want to shoot some more night time shots. Silas finally agreed to stand in as my model as he ate his Reeses Peanut Butter Cereal right out of the box. I can see a lot of potential just out in my drive way as far as location goes and even in the street light.

Shelby's Senior Photo Shoot

I finally got the opportunity to do a photo shoot with my lovely niece Shelby. She will be graduating in May, or at least walking because she finished early in December. Way to go Shelby I am really proud of you and your determination to continue your education. I know you will achieve what ever you put your mind too.

Ok so I have wanted to do a shoot with Shelby for some time now. She reminds me of one of my favorite models Adriana Lima. I shall not compare the two just that they share similar looks.

We shot at a couple locations downtown, because that’s just what I do, but I have not had a chance to process those images yet. So those will be forth coming.

Shelby wanted some pictures at the beach, another place I have wanted to shoot for some time. The haze was incredible once we got to the beach. We drove from 71st Street down to the Flag Ship Hotel which is still out of commission from Hurricane Ike. I liked the location under the hotel and felt the piers would be a nice change to the background. I really like natural light lately and I am trying to shoot more with it. Being under the hotel in total shade, meant that anything out in full sun would be blown out in the final image. I had my assistant (Smish) using a reflector to add fill.



After the Flagship we traveled down to the strand and found a plethora places to shoot at. So we just walked and shot. I am definitely going back really soon to shoot on the strand and in the back alleys. I did use a single speed light and my homemade beauty dish that I thought worked flawlessly and I spent less that 20.00 building it.



Ok I am running out of lunch time so I will post more later… enjoy the images. You can also view my flickr site to see more images http://www.flickr.com/photos/passion2imagine/sets/72157617020233794/
