Zak

An environmental portrait of my roomie. I was testing out lighting and here's one of the testers. used: 580 w shoot thru umbrella. 24-70 @ 24mm

Stock

Themed, Contrived, Stock-ish. OK, this should finally prove that we need more people posting to the Click. If not, more corporate stuff I swear!

Brick!

A couple weeks I shot my friend Matt at a random alley in Covina.

This month in Jasmine Star in Rangefinder...
Why do the pros always have to bite my locations!

Hot Lights

Practical uses? (FYI, fire-light + portrait = melty-face)

T/S Rabbit Poopanorama

This is my first tilt-shift poopanoramic trial. Any suggestions?

On-Location Headshots

I've found myself halfway enjoying the least artistic segment of photography...the grey backdrop headshot. As simple and boring as it may be, the challenge to get it right keeps me intrigued. Here's a snapshot of my work-in-progress 3-light setup.

17mm Tilt Shift

It was fun renting the 17 ts lens from borrowlenses.com. I wasn't sure what to expect with 17 being so wide but it did well in weddings, fashion and personal fun. Below are some samples from my 10 day trial. It seems like Canon's new line of lenses sink perfect with the 5d mark 2. I can't wait for the rumored Feb 9th announcement of more Canon glass.

Who's the Hottie?

Matt is the best second shooter EVER! He made me look awesome. :)
Many of the guests commented on his handsome looks and debonair behavior. He even drove himself to the airport after lightweight me had half a beer ... what a guy!

Matt also survived an Austin zombie walk and the Texas sky trying to eat us! Congrats, Matty Mo!
