Holy JEEZ I love it when I get to work with amazing people!  For the much anticipated (and delayed) bridal shoot with Suzie Jurado, I was blessed to have my A-Team onboard to assist.  Originally planned to be at the Lustre Pearl, this shoot was the brainchild of Suzie herself.  When we first began planning this shoot, I had nearly begged Suzie to let me try and impress her with my camera.  I former co-worker, Suzie was familiar with some of the high-quality-yet-standard-and-uniform youth sports portraiture for All American Photo, our short run as All …

What a blessing to have such an amazing team come together for a shoot so simple in design as this staged bridal portraiture to create such elegance in imaging.  Lyz was a true talent.  Notice here I am not calling her a model.  I have worked with more than enough models to grant me right to some typical generalizations now.  She listened to direction, created the movement and energy I asked for, and then ran with it like no one’s business.  As my lighting schemes developed through the shoot, she fed from my direction to …

I love hanging out with Dana. She’s just a bundle of potential energy wrapped up in a beautiful, statuesque package. Now that we are all having to play grown up, Dana was in need of an executive portrait for her media package. With a cancellation on my books thanks to a huge mistake by #David’s Bridal causing my bridal portrait session to flake, I gave her a ring and squeezed her into the schedule. As expected, we didn’t stay in “grown up mode” very long and it was back to our …

It’s no secret the some of the best photographers come from Austin Community College.  Now, I don’t mean that good photographers by Austin standards, I am talking about solid photography that has proven to hold ground on the National level.  More than that, photography TEAMS have developed into friendships, second-shooter references, and shared spaces in hip Austin art galleries and shows through out the area.  Working with people from ACC tends to uncover great teams of photographers who are able to communicate in facial expressions and grunts to create a myriad of amazing photographs in …

If there were ever a time that I would always say simple is more, it’s got to be working with the female form.  When in studio, I (and many photographers with whom I work) start to go a little gadget crazy.  We want a great exposure that outlines the form so we use side lighting schemes that are the product of creativity and down-time in the studio with lights at our disposal.  Then, of course, you need to actually SEE the person you are photographing.  Using side/hatchet/split lighting on a female?  Sure, go ahead, and …
