Very rough edit I pulled from a shoot of stylish womens laptop and ipad bags today. Lots more where this came from but not tonight! lol Gonna actually call it quits before 10 p.m. tonight. Normally I work until around midnight. Aaahhh, the glamorous life of a photographer!

fashion commuting bags for women on the goSaturday, November 12th, 2011
So this was a really great shoot and this is just a sneak preview. I had four different looks to shoot with and afternoon start and dusk approaching fast. This was my initial approach to at least grabbing a decent shot of every bag.

rollin’ the diceWednesday, November 2nd, 2011
A couple of years ago, I made a trip to Miami just to explore and check out the scene. I did a couple of photo shoots and drove out to Key West and all that. This past year, I decided to delve deeper into south Florida and I’ve made three more trips so far. It’s a fascinating place. A lot of weirdos (like Oregon!) but much warmer. LOL
Seriously, each trip has been better than the last and I’ve been absolutely lucky by meeting some of the nicest people. It’s crazy but I have this really strange knack for going to different places and meeting really cool people. On this trip, Selena, Sonny, Ewa, Jonathan, and Devin — all of you are so great in really unique ways. Thank you for working with me.
My biggest disappointment on this last trip to Miami was I had a pair of twins lined up for a sunrise shoot. Confirmed a coffee meeting to chat details and went the the meeting in SoBe. No show. Texted one twin. Got a reply they thought meeting was next day. That was the last I heard from them.
So yeah, that was a bummer. Luckily a model I had shot earlier in the week was available for a sunrise shoot that day. Thank you Ewa for saving the sunrise that day!
We tried to go to Crandon Park south of Miami but encountered the a total dick security guard. Turns out it’s easy to sneak into the park before it opens (@ sunrise) but there’s no where to park. Park for just a moment and a rent-a-cop, er, county ‘park ranger’ rolls up and starts writing a parking ticket. That was a bit of a buzz kill too since the rental car company had made me sign a waiver that I’d pay all parking tickets. I pleaded “tourist” with the rent-a-cop, but no kidding, he didn’t believe me. If he heard my attempt at spanish, he would have believed I wasn’t from Miami.
Anyway, the model in this photo wasn’t involved in any of that. She’s someone I saw on FB through a mutual friend. I liked her look so contacted her and we arranged a shoot. Sometimes rollin’ the dice works out!

airplane editMonday, October 24th, 2011
Edited this on an airplane where I always seem to be working behind someone with a reclined seat. I wish they offered a computer work section on planes where people were forbidden to tip back their seats.
Oh, and what did I have to edit? There was a weird pant lining hanging down on both ankles that was unintended. It’s still a little jagged and will likely need a quick polish with the stylus and tablet. This was a test shot and the stylist fixed the lining when we were actually shooting. But as often happens, the test shot was the best shot aside from the pants at the cuff. Best expression and all that.

I’m normally not crazy about centering a subjects face in the middle of the frame but think it works here. I still have dozens of photos to edit from this shoot. And an insanely fantastic and busy week coming up.

Okay, gotta share two more tonight. If only I had an editor to narrow down the shots I need for the fashion story out of this. Oh yeah — that editor is me! No kidding though, it’s tough to edit your own work. I can usually get it down to a rough selection then I need outside input.

men’s fall fashion and lifestyle previewWednesday, October 19th, 2011
Teamed up with a stylist and model today and shot down near the central library. We shot so many awesome photos! Here’s just a really quick sneak preview. Kind of the beginning and end of the final fashion story I hope to pull out of this shoot.

Haven’t posted in a few days because I was on an awesome camping trip. October can be nasty in Oregon but it can also be awesome when you hit the right weather. More on that in another post. Here’s a photo I shot just before the trip. Starting to sort out that shoot just today.

warm and invitingWednesday, October 12th, 2011
I frequently hear from clients that they want their headshots to be “warm and inviting”. So that’s a style I’ve been trying out lately. Sorry, Tyra, I love fierce but it just ain’t for this market.
