A few of Genna
Hey all,
Just got out of surgery yesterday, which is why I haven't been around much. I'm alive, so sorry if some of you wanted me dead LOL.
On Saturday, a guy I know put on a Pinup workshop. Well, it wasn't a workshop, but a shoot out really. It was about 20 people on one model. He just started doing them, so he has a lot to learn, but it made my buddy who was with me, appreciate how I run my workshops.
We were there for about half hour, we snapped about 40 photos between the two of us. We stopped shooting and watched everyone else as they gave the illusion that they were vampires and the model was the last drop of blood. Deciding we didn't want to be part of that, I asked my fav model Genna and new fav model Mihaela to stay after. Mihaela was too tired to hang out, so Genna and her male model friend Calib stayed. We got some great shots of them! Here's a few for now:
Another bikini shot!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to put something up to make easing into the weekend that much better, so I figured why not half naked hot chicks?
Here's a before and after, I removed the boyfriend/reflector boy as per her request lol.
Short, Broad, flat, no good
Hey all,
I figure we'll do a learning lesson here.
I was talking to a friend of mine, he said I'm a fool for worrying about the whole short/broad lighting thing. I tried to explain that it's not something I'm overly concerned with, but it is something that I pay attention to when it comes to something other than nudes lol.
He doesn't understand, or can see the difference, so I told him I'd post them using photo examples.
Broad lighting is when you use flat lighting, or put your light on the side of the face that's closest to the camera lens. When shooting a diamond faced model, it doesn't matter, but on most models it does. Over all, it creates a more defined look on the face, a more flattering look to the photos. Here's a photo that was lit broadly:
When looking at the above photo, something looks off with it, her jaw looks weird. It's because it's lit improperly.
Short light is when the model is lit with the strobe or light source coming from the side of the face that's furthest from the camera.
That looks far better. That light could have been adjusted a bit, but it's good enough to illustrate my point.
Hope you got something out of it.
More from the wedding
My wife has been busy editing the photos. My wife edits the general portrait business, I edit the models since the editing for models requires a different technique. Here's a few more of Meggy. We love you Meggy and Chris!

This model was one of the most beautiful women I've seen modeling. Great body and KILLER attitude, she was the perfect ending to a great day of shooting!
Away, away
Sorry guys,
I'm still getting over the bronchitis and the cyst ear infection. Just this week, I've gotten some energy back. I had my first full on shoot day in almost two months! It went great! Had some gorgeous models and shot in and outdoors. I thought getting rid of my studio was a bad thing, but it's forcing me to get creative! I kind of like it to be honest!!
Here's a few photos from yesterday
