Headshots

Shooting some work for a talent agency and trying new headshot set-ups ..........

Raleigh Tea Party

The Federal Building is 2 blocks from the studio. I was in a rush to get home the other night and the Raleigh Tea Party was just getting started. How can one pass up a photo op like that ? A few of my favorite signs, I heard once they move to the capital build there were 1,500-2,000 people. I try to stay political neutral on the blog but I've heard alot of bad press on the Tea Party, I thought it was a good mix of people and not just white rednecks.

Welcome to my neighborhood Shante's Quality Hair

2 1/2 blocks from my studio is Shante's Quality Hair. She's been in the same spot for the past 13 years, a small white cinder block building. I really wanted to capture the juxtaposition of her building with all the new fancy high rise building behind it, but there was a car in the way. Guess I'll have to go back.

Creating an image library

Spent the day out in RTP creating an image library for a company. The important shots was to match the existing photo on the companies home page with new people. Lucky for us there was a big meeting in the conference room. We moved people around every 15 minutes to give it some variety. I have to say I'm blown away by the low noise of the D3 at high ISO's. It was a 50/50 split between strobes and available light.

Panorama-rama

I've never been a big fan of panorama images, I had a Technorama 6x17 years ago, I just don't like the format. But the format works well for fancy flash websites. I'd never used the Photomerge function in CS before., so I varied my over laps in frame and each image ended up with 4/5 shots. I must say I'm impressed. Maybe I'll give so more thought to the panorama format.

Random snap shots

Just some random snap shots from around town.

Clowning Around

What do you do with a clown ? I did some shots for a clown the other day and we had some extra time, these were afew of my ideas. When I got home from work that night my girls asked me what I did at work, I said "I shot a clown" they were very sad.
