D-Link Photo Shoot
If you didn’t know already, I got started in photography by doing product shoots and I still love doing it. Products don’t move, they aren’t late, they don’t get emotional, drunk, or have meltdowns. This week I took some photos of some D-Link equipment for some video tutorials that will appear soon. This is my favorite shot.
To get this shot (all done in-camera), the product is sitting on 1/4″ thick plexiglass on top of white muslin. In the background, about three feet behind the product is white seamless paper. The large TD5 lights come in about about 45 degree angles to each side and above while the smaller TD3 was closer in to provide some specularity. The image was processed using the public beta of Adobe Lightroom 3.0.

Lauren Elizabeth Portrait Session
Lauren was a blast to work with, young and energetic. Lauren is working with me for some examples I needed for my upcoming workshops so I took a handful for her to use and these are just a few of my favorites. You can check out more of Lauren’s work on her Model Mayhem profile.
Stephen Headshots
I needed to get some new examples for the upcoming workshops this month and Stephen needed some new headshots, so the timing was perfect and we had a blast shooting away for an hour or so. Stephen is awesome to work with and has a super good personality. If you ever need a male model for anything hook up with Stephen on Model Mayhem. Here are some shots from this shoot.
Kristi and Aaron Wedding at The Pacific Edge
I don’t know what got into me and somehow I completely forgot to post these images earlier. What a gorgeous day it was for a beachside wedding at the Pacific Edge in Laguna Beach. The house looked awesome and was well-prepped as always by the amazing staff from At Your Service Catering and Corey Morgan assisted as second shooter. Kristi looked absolutely amazing and Aaron looked fantastic. The ceremony may have been a tad bit late, but looked great against the setting sun. If you didn’t see them before, be sure and check out their engagement pictures taken at the location where Aaron proposed to Kristi.
