Welcome to my neighborhood

Part of my Welcome to my neighborhood series. This is Frankie who lives at the opposite corner of my studio. There are about 10 people that live in the house, I'm not sure what the story is ....... Frankie always has this plastic comb that hangs out from his mini-afro. He's very soft spoken compared to the other people in the neighborhood, he's always showing my photo's he's snapped with his phone.

Shot some new talent Garrett for FUSE. I've been seeing the promo image for the new Star Trek movie and tried that in the studio. Really need to drive to the coast and get Garrett with a surfboard ........

Ring Ring Ring

I'm never a big fan of group shot, but this one really turned out nice. This was for the Raleigh Ringers. 17 people, I was able to get the lights and myself up high enough that there were no shadows on any faces. We ended up pulling down a white curtain for the group to stand on and used the other curtain as the background. Took out some wrinkles alittle pen tool action and selective color on the white and it made a nice white background.

looking casual

Looking for some casual shots of people leaning, on something ............ What to do ? We found an old shelf unit and rigged it with a C-stand so the talent could have something to lean on. Lot's of left overs from lunch ..........

AM Series

Since the time change, it's still dark when I come into work. I've stopped a few times and snapped some photo's.

Good Morning .... WHAT THE F*CK ......

A picture's worth a thousand words, what else can I say .......... I laughed than I threw up .........

Drive by shooting

Not sure where I'm going with this. The past few days when I've been driving around I've taken my camera with me. I crank up the ISO to 400 and put on an 85mm. I set the aperture for the sunny side and know to open up 5 clicks for the shady side. I'm just pointing the camera out the window at interesting things. I'm not looking through the view finder just some creative cropping. I know I've missed a ton of great shots (stuff not in the frame or to blurry) but it's kinda fun to get back to the studio and see what I've got.
