late night fun

The other week the wife and kids were out of town. I love shooting at dusk and just don't have the time when the kids are around. I tracked down some models and we headed out to the cheesy motel down the street. Thank god there was a cop sitting across the street, it's not the safest place. I ened up with an Alien Bee 800w with diffusuion camera left,400w AB as background light and ran around with my SunPack 522 w/4 pops during the 8'sec. exposure.

Cathy

Did some work with a model, this was my poor attempt at a Jill Greenberg lighting set-up ......

Grandfathers old tools

My dad gave me some of my grandfathers old tools. He was getting ready to throw them out, what was he thinking ...... I ended up shooting 10 different set-ups. Think I'll do some prints for my dad.

Wake Rad

Another late night shoot of doctors for Wake Radiology at North Ridge Country Club. They have a staff meeting once a month at the club. Images will be stripped out and dropped into different backgrounds. I thought this guy was a real character. 2 Speedotron heads with soft-boxes left and right,back light and a background light.

Bikes and Babes

OK not my finest work, but someone has to shoot it. I was playing catch-up form last week editing some files and got a call at 2PM from Big Tex, can you shoot some girls in front of the bar at the club at 3PM ( Big Tex- a very big guy, pushing 400lbs and a fixture in the entertainment scene. Owns a couple clubs and record lables, bought a $43K 4XXL full lenght Sable coat, always has a money clip the size of Texas and pays in cash). Tired of editing and not being social all day I say sure. I show up at the club @ 8 blocks away, and it turns out there will be 6 girls and 3 motorcycles..... Last time I shot there it was all available light. I only brought a small kit Profoto 1200 and 3 heads. I had the beauty dish in the center and reflectors on the side, copy light set-up.

Worst shoot ever ? Reflux

Could be the worst shoot ever. Got a call @ 6pm Tue. as I was walking out the door. The art director said we're shooting the TV and the kid is going out of town for aweek this weekend, can you shoot the stills this week ? I'm slammed all week and the only time is Thur. @ 3PM. We decide to shoot at my house in one of my childrens bedrooms. The model (Mom and Dad) show up 1/2 late with wardrobe and an iron. You mean we also need the shoes form the TV spot ? So dad runs home to get them and shows up an hour later. The kid is tired and cranky and will not listen to me,art director or mom and dad. Shot @ 200 images and might of gotten 1 ............
