Modeling shoot in Pontiac
April 19, 2010A few images from a modeling shoot we hosted along with Jean Smith Photography and Brittni Schroeder…and of course we couldn’t have pulled anything off without the amazing work of our stylists and makeup artists! We shot a boat load of cool stuff, so much more to come throughout the week!
Makeup: Emily Zelenak and Courtney Peters from Donoven’s Salon
Hair: Mandy Gutierrez also from Donoven’s Salon
Wardrobe: Molly Shaheen
We’ll start the week’s images of with a series of Katie and Krystle taken at the Blue Note Cafe just around the corner from the studio. They were awesome and totally let us invade their space for about thirty minutes for the shoot. Thanks Blue Note Cafe!!!
Vonnita
April 13, 2010Yikes! It’s been a crazy week! Lot’s of shoots to post and a couple good stories to follow as well, hopefully tomorrow. But in the mean time, a few images from Vonnita’s shoot:
Week 3 – Free Editorial Shoot
March 29, 2010So today begins the third and last week of our series of contests…the editorial shoot! So some of you may be wondering what I mean by “editorial”. Well, do you have a talent you want to document? Are you in a band? Write a book? Sing, play sports, model, etc? Yeah, pretty much any cool thing you do, we’ll photograph. So how do you win? If you’re new to the contest, check out our rules by clicking HERE. (You can view the winners of last week’s contest by clicking HERE.)
As usual, we’ll give you some examples of what you could expect from an editorial shoot: Below you will find an athlete, a band, a model, a musician, and an author. Good luck in the contest!
Editorial Model Shoot
March 25, 2010I had the opportunity to host an editorial model shoot a couple weeks ago with my wife, Jean Smith and Brittni Schroeder (another local photog in Canton, MI…who by the by has decided to abandon us and move to Texas…all you Texans out there – look out, because here comes a KICK-ARSE photographer). We had hair done by Mandy Gutierrez and makeup by Emily Zelenak (who totally rock the hair/makeup scene…so if you’re in the market, look them up!). Here a just a few of the images from the night.

Lis
February 23, 2010Not sure about you, but I love old, dilapidated ruin. We recently stumbled upon the coolest old, abandoned building near our house that just begged to be photographed. And nothing makes ruin and grime better, than putting something pretty in the middle of it!
Here are a couple images of Lis’ modeling session there at the building.
Finally Back!!!
January 22, 2010Well, after a month, we’re finally back from our travels! I’m sure you’ve missed me horribly! While I love to travel, it is really nice to be back at home at getting back to the ol’ grind…and as usually happens after too much fun, I’ve got too much work to catch up on!
In addition to visiting friends and family while we were gone, Jean and I had the chance to do a ton of shooting…including attending a great workshop put on by Jake Garn. He’s an incredible fashion photographer and he put on a great workshop. We had models, stylists, and several shooting stations set up and were able to both shoot and observe for several hours. I highly recommend his workshop for anybody interested in getting involved in fashion photography! I am posting a small sample of the images I shot while there.
Over the next few days I may post a few other snippets from my travels as well…some people, some nature, and some other junk…
