Remember those headshots

Remember those headshots from 4 years ago ? We just hired some new people and want to match those shots. For me this is always the hardest thing to do, match an existing shot. This was back before I was snapping photo's of my set-up's.

group shots

A set-up from group shots up at UNC. I did some event coverage aswell. The shoot went great and the event ended @ 250 people left at the same time and tried to get out of the parking deck with only one attendant, I sat in the car for over an hour waiting to get out......

JohnPaul Harris

Some shots for a magazine article on artist JohnPaul Harris. He is one of the most unique individuals I've ever met. Photo's of his home and studio don't do justice, it was a cross between the Swiss Family Robinson and Sanford and Son's. It was a gloomy rainy day but we got off afew outdoor shots. JohnPaul Harris has a Cirkut Rotating Panoramic Camera www.cirkutpanorama.com/ten.html that's been modified with an electric motor. This thing was so old school and new school, the film is 10inches by 7 feet and you get 2 shots and make a contact print.
I'm off to find the squirrel living in my studio, he's set off the motion detector twice this week .............

tools of medicine

A shot for Duke "tools of Medicine".The first images was trying to simulate overhead garage light and it looked to flat ( overhead softbox and alittle fill). The other image were shot with the 20in beauty dish with grid upper left and a 7in grid coming from the right.

Home based business American Gothic

Working on a story about home based businesses, women who juggle working from home and being a mom. A take off on American Gothic. Had the AB's out main camera left and a backlight coming from camera right behind the subjects.

Going to the dogs

I was down in Sanford shooting an article on the Bon-Clyde dog acting school. How can you take a bad picture of a dog ? The owners of the dogs were worried about the flash when the dogs were jumping. I tried to shoot ambient light ISO at 1200, mixed lighting daylight,fluorescent and sodium vapor the images looked really bad. At the end of doggie class I set-up some strobes, Profoto 1200 umbrella left and beauty dish on right on the jump, Profoto 600 with reflector for the ceiling.
