Aqua....

Here's a look at your next TV news reporter.....Ms. Aqua (drum roll....)

I had the privilege of helping Aqua put together a resume tape a couple of weekends ago...She called me Saturday and said she wanted to hire me to take her head shots to post on her resume website...

I was unable to schedule her in later this week because I'm having surgery tomorrow but I squeezed her in to a very busy day on Sunday...

I wasn't the only one...her hair stylist opened up the shop just for her....I think that's amazing!!!!

She's one of those people with major drive and determination....she'll go far in the news business as long as she keeps striving to be the best....

Anyway,

I met her at a her home and set up my "portable studio" and we had a blast....Her brother stopped by and thought something crazy was going on inside the house because he kept seeing this flash of light stabbing through the windows...

of course it was my strobes going off....lol

until next time,

Hello all,

It's been a while but I'm back in action...I've been shooting, but haven't been posting...and I apologize for that...

I wanted to share a couple of images from my latest shoot on Easter Sunday...(a day before my 30th birthday)....Happy Birthday to me...

anyway,

My good friend Steve hooked me up with AJ telling me that she wanted some head shots...so AJ and I discussed a date over the phone and set it up on March 23rd before I knew that day was Easter...

On a side note, she called me when she found out and asked if I wanted to reschedule...I thought that was cool...but I told her no and that I'd see her Sunday Morning....

I did some experimenting with textures and here's an example of the first one...




I think she has a cool name...so I added that to the image...


I have what I call a portable studio...I have a couple of backdrops and I have met my clients at locations of their choice and set up and shot away...(click, click, click)



For AJ's shoot I met her in her apartment and moved some furniture around, set up my backdrop, my new shoot through umbrella and went to work....We had a blast...

Here's and another example of her posing...she was great....





there you go....

until next time....

show it fast...

Hey all,

I was just playin' around with a new program I bought...so I decided to post the first one on thedailydartise....

I hope you enjoy...there's more to come....

until next time....
