The NEW bag of tricks.

Posted on February 19, 2010

This has been an exciting week for me. The workshop I attended was awesome! And now, I have a few new tricks in my bag. I’ve been a hard core natural light shooter for the last few years, using a flash unit only when it couldn’t be avoided. Mostly because I didn’t want to be on old-school, traditional photographer. Using natural light will still remain my main approach. BUT, now I have a whole new skill set to explore: dramatic lighting! Using dramatic lighting, both in studio AND on location, will create new opportunities to capture some WOW images like these. Dramatic lighting requires a little cooperation on the part of the subject, so it’s ideal for Seniors, Couples, and Brides.

SPECIAL: My next high school Senior is going to have a portfolio to die for! I’m eager to get a few in front of my camera, so here’s a deal…BOOK a Senior session for March 2010 and receive an extra $100 print credit. Good only if your session is in March.

While she looked stunningly beautiful like this. I was wearing a wool coat, heavy scarf, insulated boots, and you could see my breath coming out of my nose. She was totally professional. Even keeping on her barely there heels.
