Swimsuit Shoot with Palna
Jun 3rd
I had a great shoot with Palna on Monday and it made up for a pretty crappy day of shooting on Saturday. I was really determined to get some great shots with Palna and boy did she deliver. For this being her first photo shoot, she did a really great job and I hope to work with her again in the future.
A fellow photog, Anne of agmgfotography, was kind enough to assist me with the shoot and even brought along her friend, Trisha, who was an MUA. Trisha not only did a great job with the makeup but she also was helpful as a location scout and stylist as well. I have to thank everyone that helped on this shoot because I wouldn’t have been able to get the beautiful images without them. Go Teamwork!
The lighting for this shoot was very simple. The afternoon sun was being lightly diffused with some overcast clouds and created some really beautiful lighting that I used as my key light. I used a gold reflector as either rim lighting or some fill depending on the angle of the shot. Anne and Trisha had their worked cut out for them holding the reflector in place because of how windy it got during the shoot.
Here are some Behind the Scenes look of the shoot:
Test Shoot on the Island
May 30th
I did a fashion test shoot several weekends ago with a local fashion designer on Treasure Island. It was a beautiful day to shoot and we find a nice spot where we could see the San Francisco skyline. I used a SB900 with an umbrella to fill in some of the shadows created by the sun.

On Location in Tahoe
Mar 3rd
I make enough trips to South Lake Tahoe during the winter that it warranted a photo shoot in the snow. Luckily for me, there were two models local in the area that were game on to shoot. They had picked out a perfect spot for us to shoot at and it had been snowing enough that we had to hike through waist deep snow to get to the spot we wanted to shoot at.

Josephine Resort
Jan 31st
I teamed up with an aspiring fashion designer to do a shoot of some of her pieces a couple weekends ago. I’m always amazed by people that can design clothes from scratch. I don’t even know how to sew on a button…
We got a great team together for this shoot and it always makes life easier when there are multiple hands and eyes helping to make sure we get the right shot. It was really cold that morning and much credit is given to the model to be able to compose herself and strike a pose even when every part of her wants to shiver.

Posing on the Island
Jan 21st
I’ve been wanting to do an edgier style shoot for quite some time too round out my portfolio. I found an abandoned warehouse that had the perfect setting for what I wanted. Sadmira was a great model and braved the cold to come up with some great pictures. We shot both indoors and outdoors and got some great captures.
N’Damus Pictures
Dec 16th
As a followup to the video I posted on Sunday are a couple more pictures from the N’Damus photo shoot. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they make it into a London publication.
Sunset Fashion
Nov 15th
I got a pair of umbrellas and light stands this past week and wanted to try them out. Jeannie was kind enough to let me try some shots out during sunset.

Jeannie
Oct 18th
I got an awesome opportunity this weekend to help as an assistant during a studio shoot. I got to learn the ropes and had the chance to shoot some pictures as well. It was was a very rewarding experience and can’t wait to have my own studio in the future… I can dream right? Thanks Alan again for the great experience!
Jeannie was great to work with and I hope to shoot with her again.
Pete
Sep 28th
I worked with Pete this past weekend in Berkeley, CA and got a couple nice shots out of him. It was my first time shooting a male model so I had to adjust the way I normally take photos.

I got the opportunity to shoot with Stef again and it was a lot of fun trying out different poses and looking for exteriors. I got a lot of use of my new MB-D80 vertical grip and I’m very glad I got it.
