Here you go josh

We went out the other day (yes the same day as the last post) and shredded some of the new obstacles at lee-side. We tried hastings and a few street spots but for some reason vancouver didn't want dry up. When we went down in to the depths i got to meet and watch jamie maley (sp?) kill it in there. Here's the photo you were asking about josh. Just after this we got to eat at bk lounge (whopper wednesday!!!). Anyways thanks for taking this photo with me josh, lets go hit that flat out soon, oh yah and derek you still owe me an over crooks!

another day another dollerz

So a few guys from abby came to town yesterday and I had the opportunity to shoot and chill with the fellas. Here's a little sequence of mitch kittel doing what he does best......enjoy.

Skateing with dean and derek

Had a chance to spend the day with my bro's dean and derek and man was it fun. Derek and I were actually really productive on getting some shots. Here's one I really like and am gonna use for a school project. There's three lights in this shot: 2 Alien Bees (one right and one left) and one vivitar blasting on his but from down below and behind. Thanks guys for the awesome day!

Edit: I just added a low res seq of derek nose grinding to gapping at a nice little spot we started the day with.

Just got a new camera and man am I pumped. School is now going again and i've had a few shots at a couple really cool lens'. The first 2 are with the 24mm tilt shift, I especially enjoy the shot of my wife in bed (i don't think she to pumped). The third shot is a part of a few shots that ive been working on for my friends album. Hope ya'll enjoy and I promise not to wait to long till the next post.

Just wanted to add a little note on the details to this shot. I shot this with 2 speed lights, first of was a shoot through umbrella above camera right and the second was a snooted bare speed light behind the mic on camera left for shape.

gone for a bit

Its been a bit so I thought id post a few shots from the last little while.

headshots?

Man i have no idea where to start, im so used to just going in to a shoot and shooting what I want. Just last week I had a chance to shoot for a fellow langara student from the acting part of town and he needed some headshots for his new career. Suffice to say I have no idea what casting directors want and where to start at all. So I boiled it down, what have I learned about how to light for portraiture? What have I learned about how to deal with posing, positioning, framing and exposure? Swipes might help (thanks Catherine :p). I thought from there id be ok, I think it worked out and I think I'll be able to get some good shots from the shoot but repetition is def. key. All this aside there's a little something I like to call pillow talk that helps to have up your sleeve cause these things tend to take a while and making your client comfortable is key. So without a due here's a few shot I shot. I used three speedo's in a simple setup that included one for fill, one for hair and one to create a gradated background.

autumn fashion

There's an assignment coming up for me at school for autumn fashion and I got a chance to shoot with a friend of mine. It was a really good chance to work on lighting and guiding the subject. I lit him with a shoot through umbrella that was gobo'd to create a gradation down lower. I lit the background with a warm gelled light for separation. It was a fun learning experience and enjoyed it immensely.
