Kim's Wedding Dress was amazing..
Maggie Sottero collection is pretty mainstream designs..
"Romantic in every way, Rhianna Royale is a one-piece, slim A-line gown featuring elaborate floral motifs decorating an exquisite tulle lace overlay. The three-dimensional floral effect creates a stunning neckline and accents the skirt of the gown. The back features our signature corset closure. Matching hairpiece is also available. "

Kate Senior ~ The Windy Hill
different post work from me on this one..
little more bright and colorful to balance out this dark and dreary look
shot this with a 35MM and a single beauty dish
her friend was holding the scarf and letting it go on the count the hand had to be cloned out..
Alien Bee 1600 with the 22inch beauty dish was used because it was so windy.. the beauty dish is a good choice for this type of condition.. a umbrella would break in the wind.
ab1600 was about 4 feet way camera left, and on 1/3 power

New Cactus V5's Transceiver Duo
New Cactus V5's Transceiver Duo
I just received the new Cactus V5's Duo... as a beta tester.
i have been long time user of the Cactus Systems and feel very lucky to be a part of this.. they pick me along with a handful of other users in the world for this Privileged EARLY ROLL OUT..
a full write will soon be delivered by me.. but since i have not fully tested this system out.. (From the Technical, functional, and aesthetic) i just wanted to share some photos of the new system
i will state this:
i was able to fire a shot about 100 Yards away using a 580EXII in my garage.. i could probably have gone farther but it was too cold to mess around any longer.. i figured 100 yards is plenty for what i would ever need..
in the box you will get two transceivers, thus the name DUO..
i don't know the cost nor when www.gadgetinfinity.com will offer this product it to the public yet.
i started a discussion thread here.. photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=11472360#po...

Winter Brides are so happy..
here i have Corrine doing what i call the "Dancing Bride"
the results always look amazing.. Key is you have to have a bride that is outgoing and not shy to do this..
i just have the guy look and smile and what the bride has to do is spin and act happy... of course you the photographer has to just click about 4-8 shots of the spin move and one of them will be this cool..

just working on some split toning..
added a layer of Film Light Leak just to see what happens
The Grey Seemless was provided by Ryan O Hicks, setting this thing up and taking down is a real pain.. thanks for bringing this Ryan..
to get this shot we had to have..
1. A fan for hair
2. Key lighting was the Quadra camera left @ 2.8 power
3. Side lighting was the 60 inch Softlighter in with AB1600 @ 1/2 power camera right rear for the fill
about the skin work.. (i am still learning skin work, the dodge and burn, at pixel level, takes really long.. so i am experimenting with other methods that gets good results but much less time.. ) i do know the simple plug in's don't get the pro results you want so don't do plug ins..
3 layers..
1. top layer is a high pass filter @ opacity of 33 percent with blending mode of overlay
2. 2nd layer is a cleaned up layer of skin smoothing opacity of 88-90 percent
3. original layer that was hand cleaned up with photoshop spot healer manual mode

new editing style for me..
like i have said before, "nnovations in Post processing, Compositions, and the ART of photography lays with the Artist him or her self.. (the jaw dropping photo created in the artist mind is conceived way before the actual lighting set up is done and the execution of the conceived photo is the easy part.. then the post processing becomes the signature of each Artist.)
So short answer is yes.. new concepts are being created only in the sense of the Art and Conceived Concepts, throw in post processing and you will get an infinite New Concepts in photography."

had a chance to work with Ryan O Hicks as a Model
my concept was to create a photo that looks like a movie still..
i have been watching TV shows and paying serious attention to the lighting..
shows that have great lighting..
CSI Miami
Star Trek movie - the one with young captain kirk
the actual show that i was watching was dexter - showtime that inspired me on this...
but i wanted to create something different with the Borne Identity theme...
i don't know if it is like the Borne Series, but oh well it was a try..

2. Interestingness
3. Edge
lighting was 2 lights in this hall way
1. Back lighting was AB1600 Gelled with Red filter with 86 PLM way back high up. (i had to clone out the stand)

Aurielle Model ~ Blue Beauty square crop
not really sure if i liked the wide screen crop now that i looked at it..
so here is the square crop..
Had another chance to work with model / bride to be.. Aureille..
with her stunning beauty, we had lots of options, and ended up with this back light simple glamorous model like shot.
a fan was plugged into a Vagabond to create the hair wind effect.. my friend Ryan O Hicks and i went to a store and bought the fan on a whim thinking it would work with the vagabond.. he also tested it on his vagabond at home for about 2 hours plus.. not recommended, but apparently it is fine.. electrical draw on a consent fan must be ok vs. modeling lights (still do this at your own risks)
2 lights were used on this shot.
1. Key lighting was AB1600 with Beauty Dish Gridded. about 6 -8 feet away from Subject at low power
2. The Blue lighting was 1 Speed light held by Aurielle's mother Beth.. ( i had 2 speed lights set up to fire, but this shot was one that only one fired and it turned out to be my fav) speed light was 1/4 power with blue film gel)

Aurielle ~ 4 Seasons ~ The Splendor of Fall
Well i have finished my Fall shot...
it has been a long long time coming to finish the series..
i just have be crazy busy this Fall and have not had time to do anything for my self..
But with Aurielle's engagement shoot lead to us working again gave us an opportunity to do this shot...
hopefully this fulfills the expectations of what the 4 Seasons Fall shot should be..
i wanted some thing Beautiful, Something Strobist Style, with the Phamster Twists..
lighting was pretty simple..
Key Light was an AB1600 with Beauty dish with a grid
back lighting was a Simple Speedlight with an orange red Gel @ 1/2 power about 8 feet up and pointing down about 8 feet away.
Aurielle's mother was pushing the branches inward about 10 feet away to fill in the frame just so.. Thanks Beth !
An Thanks to Aurielle for doing this shoot with me because it was basically pitch black in the woods, and about 40 degrees.. what a trooper !

One of my most fav shots this Senior Season..
don't know how i can get this shot without this talented Nina..
She was jumping on this Hill that wasn't perfectly flat.. and probably had divots and Ankle breaking holes, but she pulled this off in total Grace..
also mother held the Quadra for this shot..
The Action Speed Head was used for it capability for the first time.. heck that is the reason i bought this short flash duration flash unit anyways.. right?
i had the quadra at about 4.3 power on the Elichrom scale.. and the light was just outside the right side of the frame.

Ashley Senior ~ Wild Fire Hair
Ashley Senior ~ Wild Fire Hair
working with Ashley's senior photos.. but clearly she is not the standard Senior being she is a rep for my photography..
so something edgy, with a touch of glam, and motion is what we came up with.
we had her friend Megan to help hold the Elinchrom quadra with the Deep Octa for Key about 7 feet away..
and for the back lighting was the Color Red (requested by Ashley) with a single 580 EXII @ 1/64 power

just one of my fav's from this wedding..
Kim was walking back to her room in the hotel.. and the window light was just the perfect solution to do this dreamy shot..
