What a pleasure to head out to the DeLongs and shoot some family photos for them on their lovely property. Very harsh mid-day sun, but had some good luck with diffuse, natural light. Very deep snow out there. The DeLongs all had snowshoes, which were as functional as photogenic; the photographer should have dug his out of the car also! An inspiring, beautiful family.
Joyce always has challenging artwork to shoot, but it is such a pleasure to see her work while the paint is still tacky. Natural light with a silver & gold reflector to make the light uniform across the face of the paintings. I admit that it would be much more tough without Adobe Lightroom, but that is hardly cheating. The shot below is Kora’s favorite piece. Not sure what you’ve titled it, Joyce, but Kora calls it ‘a big sheep with a chick in the window.’ Nice work.
Shot 5 hours, on location, with a portable studio for a new restaurant’s menu. Strobes & modifiers, IR triggered. It was an unusual setup but it had to be close to the kitchen and staff to get the food right out and shot while it was steamy, frozen, or otherwise photogenic. Hard to do with the flu, but it worked. Nice job staff, and Karyn – always nice to work with you!
We shot with Lyndsey this afternoon. It was relatively warm for February; 25 degrees or so, but not if you’re modeling in the snow… Back from New York, we shot as a set of glamor shots for her portfolio. We shot two locations using natural light and a gold reflector. Everyone now has the flu, but at least nobody got frostbitten. Nice job, Lyndsey.
Kora and I shot a number of labs in the Mechanical Engineering building on Michigan Tech’s campus today. Everything from engine dyno labs to ion engine labs. I couldn’t help but take a couple of Kora in the control room. Meghan did a great job arranging the schedule with Kim, and Kim, as always, thanks for the opportunity. Fun shots…
Shot for the growler cozy guys tonight. Good model (go Jamie), good product. Shot with two remote strobes; one to the right in the middle of the room as a key, and the second was bounced off of the aluminum door behind the bar for rear fill. The shoot was for a magazine ad; we thought this style would pop off the page a little better.
