Ok... ok... So people have been asking where are all these pictures from a Very Productive Party??

I promise I'm working on it! A site will be released soon.
In the mean time, check out this lovely lady. Again, the location at Ginger was so conducive to great shots. (I've mentioned in previous postings, I'm not a big fan of the paper or muslin back drops).
photo geek note--When shooting I balanced my strobe with Ambient light by lowering my shutter speed to get a really warm and moody effect...and then in post (just to stylize these a little) I desaturated slightly and split toned.


ALSO!!! The WINNER of the Head Shot is Hannah from HANNAH-FITNESS.com

ANAMI VICE

So I had the pleasure of shooting local Hip Hop Artist Anami Vice on Monday evening...seriously he is good. Like really. I've been singing his hooks all day!!! Check out for yourself and even download music here.

We got so many interesting shots that it's making editing through a challenge. Here's just one of the set ups that we played with.
