I was asked to do some head shots for a friend. He will then present these to an agency. I took these at my studio. He was a very cooperative subject.
Heather and John
I went out to Evans to do a photo shoot. It was originally going to be an outdoor shoot, but it had been stormy all that week and that Saturday was equally bad weather. We decided to do the shoot inside their home. It was a very enjoyable experience and we went all over the house to get lots of different locations. They were very cooperative and seemed to be having a good time.
Deanna and Mike
I did a photo shoot of a couple at their home in Keysville, GA. It was a lovely day and the property made for an extra special photo session.
Head Shots of Andi and Ethan
My friend Andi and her son Ethan came over to my house for an impromptu head shot photo shoot. He is a very tall young man and it was his first time posing. His mom, Andi, is a fellow photographer who specializes in portraiture so she was able to direct her son easily. It was a very satisfactory photo shoot and I believe I captured his spirit as well as his good looks. My bird, Merlino, got in on the act as well by posing with Andi in a few of the shots.
Christmas Family Photoshoot
My friend asked me to do some Christmas family photos. It was especially poignant since the two young people were engaged and about to be married in early January 2019. I took along my new strobe light with a beauty dish. The transmitter was made to pair with the strobe light. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing a family not only enjoying their Christmas celebration, but preparing to welcome their new daughter-in-law into the fold. I asked that I take a picture of their hands, which was met with skepticism, but it was ultimately a good decision as evidenced by the photo.
Christmas Family Photo Shoot
Christmas is the time for photo shoots, especially children in front of the Christmas tree. So, I asked a few people if they would be interested in having some Christmas photos of their family at West Town Community Church. So, on a very rainy day, a few families came over and sat for a number of photos. It was challenging corralling all the kids and getting the ideal shot where everyone looks good. Finally, I believe I had some success. Here are the results of my efforts–I’m pleased.
Thanksgiving at Grace House
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving 2018 at Grace House. The food was amazing, especially the Turkey, but most of all the company was superb. I took a few photos outside on the steps. All in all, although I didn’t spend the holiday with my biological family, it felt like family–and that’s what it is all about.
Studio Portraits
I asked a friend to act as my model for some studio portraits. She graciously accepted and proved to be a very good model who posed in many different angles. She also changed clothes for a number of shoots. It was a fun day.
Redcliffe Plantation
I went to Redcliffe Plantation in South Carolina, with my friend Joyce, who was my model. It was a nice day in January 2017. I took some landscapes as well as a couple of memorable portraits of Joyce, who was very cooperative.
Self Portraits
I decided to take some self-portraits in my home studio using strobe lights. I set the camera on a tripod, fixed the lighting, and used the shutter release. It was not easy getting myself at the right height, but finally, success.
