Behind The Scenes Photoshoot - Alla

Jim Mazza, 30 year vet Photographer, and I have the opportunity to work together ever so often. He's a Nikon guy. Here is the behind the scenes footage of the photoshoot with talented model Alla. She is from Czech and was awesome to work with. She pretends to be a little quiet, but is a true natural, and even with the language barrier speaks volumes with her subtle, natural movements between poses. Big thanks to Jim and Alla for inviting me out!!

DJ Romi Photoshoot!

Last week I met an awesome new friend and client, her name is Romi. She is a DJ from Czech. She currently spins at Cleo's every Tuesday night. The theme of the shoot was simple, DJ! As I work with talented individuals like her, it only makes my job seem less like work. Romi was basically the Art Director for this shoot! I gave some very basic instruction early on, and the rest of the shoot we talked about music and her hometown.

I chose to use two small flash units to light the talent. This enabled us to move quickly and I could place the lights almost anywhere I wanted. I used an umbrella to soften the fill light and left the key as a bare flash. After taking some test shots, I turned the power up a little more to drown out the ambient light, which was a mixture of sun and incandescent lights. Stay tuned for more!
