Project 52: Week 6

Week 6 was down to the wire. A busy week, led to having me concept, shoot and process this in just a few hours today. Need to make sure I at least give myself more time for the concept this week. If you are lucky enough to have one of these contraptions in your home, then you will recognize the expression that I am making here. I used 2 flashes here. One inside of the oven at 1/4 power @24mm, with a full cut of CTO gel, and another behind... Read The Rest →

Gigantic Snow Flakes in Amsterdam

We had a nice little snow storm yesterday here in Amsterdam, where the snow flakes were anything but little. The city quickly turned into something that looked like out of a movie set. The snow quickly covered everyone and everything, yet it was just beautiful to look at and experience. There is something special about Amsterdam in the snow that has to be seen. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Project 52: Week 2

It was awesome trying to fit a tripod, umbrella and light stand into my small shower, but somehow it worked Shot using a single 480ex with an umbrella, camera right at 1/4 power.

2012 in recap and The Secret Room in a Paris Restaurant

2012 was a year of adventure. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit 12 amazing locations in 2012. Some of them I had always wanted to see with my own eyes. Some a return for a second look, and some as a return to home. I saw Rome covered in snow! In Florence I learned what Italian food is really about. In Venice (oh Venice…) I got lost in its beauty and mystery and learned more than I thought possible. In Istanbul I straddled Europe and Asia, and learned that my fascination with churches expands into... Read The Rest →
