Studio Shoot Today
Well, Spent about 3 hours in the studio this afternoon, shooting a model. Pretty straight-forward. Photos and text inside!
So, we shot in a downtown Phoenix studio for a few hours today. Basic set-up was 3 lights and a fan. The main light was a Norman 400b in a beauty dish, with a speedlight in a stripbox for the rim lighting and a speedlight on the floor to splash some color onto the gray background.
The fan was a huge help to add some drama to the hair, which I think the rim lighting highlighted very nicely. I think I may have had the fan on too high though, because her eyes were watering by the time we were done!
I don't do as much studio shooting as I would like, I think I need to change that!
Misc. Updates:
-The US Marine portrait is coming up soon, within a few weeks, but no exact date set as of yet. I have a TON of plans for the studio shots, but working hard on getting a real military Humvee to shoot with for some outside shots. I've made some places, written some e-mails, but keep coming up short. If anybody has a line on a modern US military vehicle, or other military props, hit me up with them.
-The second HALO shoot has been pushed back to the fall, their training schedule is too full for right now.
-Tomorrow I have a meeting with the Chief of the Whittmann, AZ Fire Department, he has emailed me a few times over the past year looking for a photographer. Coordinating photography for various AZ fire departments is one of my favorite parts of being the State Director of the International Fire Photographers Association. ( http://ifpaweb.ning.com)
-That's all for now! Check back soon for what's going on.

Nice session. It made me giggle to think about the model tearing because of the wind in her eyes.
