Photo Manipulations & Studio Model Photography

You know that feeling when everything seems to be working like it is supposed to for once? Well I just installed Vista 64bit and everything is finally working like it is suppose to, I love being able to use GBs and GBs of RAM! Such a great change of pace from what my computer (and life) were doing to me earlier, it was driving me Crazy!

I really like the depth of the two above shots and of course Josh rocked the modeling


As you can see I had the pleasure of shooting in a studio recently. I met this awesome photographer, Jim Powers, and we decided to get togther with Melissa Slater and shoot! We combined our equipment, and believe me Jim has a Ton of gear, as Melissa put it, "a Merry Poppins bag of gear!" we had almost everthing I could ask for, just take a peak at the setup shot. The concept was to design lighting that outlined and scultped the subject to emphasize every facet and muscle. Overall I was really happy with how it turned out and I really had a blast. Big thank you to Jim for the space & gear.

Our setup with all Jim's studio lights. :D

Now that Blogger is working properly again I can post the rest of the pics from my previous session with Whitney. This is shoot that I her modeling in the middle of the road. Dodgeing cars that were driving on our "runway" just made things that much more interesting!

I am in love with the bokeh in this shot :)
