Up close and personal! I was a shocked to to learn that "no one ever takes close ups/headshots" of this beautiful woman! Your missing out photographers, missing out big time! Thanks Angela! Clamshell lighting with Einstein 640 through beauty dish boomed overhead. b800 with barndoors for hair light behind subject to camera left. Black paper with x800 and silver 7" reflector for background light. http://flic.kr/p/o65eNQ

I was lucky enough to run acrross these models and few photographers photographing these two on the beach in Mexico. I, of course had my camera with me and they let me snap a few images. www.nakean.com http://flic.kr/p/kS86Do

Who Framed Roger Rabit

My assistant Erin kicked ars each and every 14 hours we spent photographing Friday morning and afternoon! Spunky attitude and quick witt helped us get through this long day! Thanks for the help setting up these shots for Seattle Prep Soccer photos! This pose and eyebrow totally made me think of the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Lit with a single light through an umbrella camera right and feathered into a reflector camera left. I had a rim setup behind subject and camera left but turned it off to judge my exposure for skin tones. The best way to know what your lights are doing is to turn them on all one at a time. http://flic.kr/p/fQY8a1

An all natural light shot at Lincoln Park with the Trusty 85mm 1.2. I sht at f2 to get a little more DOF here and used a reflector just below and to the right to bring a little more of that gorgeous light in. We worked hard for this one with the last direction being a little dip in that front shoulder. Photography is a game of inches folks! http://flic.kr/p/fw3q3k

Melanie

A head shot with Melanie at the West Seattle studio. It's important to use the same modifiers when matching portraits as they can change the color temperature of your shots. You're probably thinking, "just white balance and you're good!" Problem with that is your if you change the color balance and then use your key for the white balance your will inadvertently change both your hair light temperature and your background temperature. The latter of which you client will surely notice when placing images side by side for something like a website or directory. Consistency is everything! Lit with Interfit ex400 camera right and large reflector camera left. Hair light boomed overhead with gridded striplight to keep spill from hitting background and her shoulders. Another alienbee b800 behind for the background light. Have a great Monday everyone! http://flic.kr/p/fsRXHz
