A few images from an early morning beach shoot with Alisa & Jared Hilton. Glad I could work with them during one of the brief moments they’re in the same place at the same time. One of the sacrifices that comes with serving your country is the amount of time you are away from your family. I guess it makes those moments together that bit sweeter.
Here are a few images from a lovely beach shoot with the Thomas family. A big thanks to Leonard, Rebecca, and Jabari for a fun morning.
This October if you happen to be flying Dragonair from Hong Kong, check out their inflight magazine Silkroad. Inside you’ll find a feature I wrote on Okinawan Karate. A big thanks to all the karate masters who let me wander into their dojos with my camera and notebook. ありがとうございます
Here’s a couple of recent studio portraits of Alisa and Tory. Both are building up their modeling portfolios and I wish them both a great deal of future success. It was also my first opportunity to work with the talented makeup artist Summer Martinez. Summer and I will be working on several exciting projects over the next few months so keep this blog bookmarked 🙂
A final portrait from Beamish.
Spent an afternoon at Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum. Top brass 🙂 Probably my favorite photo of the trip. Love the level of blur in the background keeping the focus on the face, but still allowing you to notice details like the brass gauge and dirt under the fingernails as you look closer.
A couple more sports inspired shots from Kelvin’s shoot. Clearly I will need to shoot a final “Run” image to get the trifecta, but pleased with the shots we got. The bike image has contrast increased a little and saturation decreased a little. I would normally process images to match, but it’s nice to show the differences here. Cleaning up the reflections of light stands in the sunglasses took an hour or so of cloning last night. Although not noticeable on web sized files, the clutter free image will look much better when printed.
Before we get onto the overseas trip here’s a couple more shots from the Suzanne Somersall jewelry shoot.
Just a quick post to say that I’ve been on the road for a couple of weeks in the UK and Turkey. Back in Okinawa now with hundreds of photos to work my way through and a decent case of jet lag.
