Photo Shoot: Marissa

On Monday I had a short photo shoot with the lovely Marissa. We were schedule for a photo shoot the week before, but due to me being sick, we had to postpone. We only had time to do one location and one outfit, but during our time together for this photo shoot I'd have to say we got some very beautiful photos. I am looking forward to another photo shoot with Marissa.

More photos from the photo shoot

Some technical details on the photo shoot. This was one of my first fun photo shoots with my brand new Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VR lens I got a few weeks back. I also had just purchased a reflector the day before, so this was also the first photo shoot that I used the reflector. Tell you the truth, it was nice to have some constant light on my subject. It helped with focusing, and allowed me to shoot at f/2.8 with high shutter speed. Now I will definitely have some new tricks in my bag (which i recently just got a new bag from Shutterbug that fits all my gear). So, I am looking forward to more photo shoots coming up soon.

Unfortunately, I have to move out of my place in a week and a half. I will be rather busy this summer, so very limited interaction unfortunately, but I will update my blog as often as I can.

Have a wonderful week!

Commons Night @ Faith Center

I never mentioned this earlier, but today I had for the very first time some of my more artistic photography up for display at a concert at Faith Center. There was a lot of great music, and other artwork as well. I was given the opportunity to display some of my stuff, and i definitely made it into something last minute. I really wanted to do this, but something about it was just so nerve racking. So I really appreciate all of you who enjoyed my photography that was on display. I was able to select 5 photos that I felt reflected my style of photography and also the people that would be attending the Commons Night.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet too many people out there because I was running around with camera taking photos of the performing artists. But looking around, I saw a lot of people looking at my photography. I really appreciate the response I have gotten from my photos. I really hope you enjoyed seeing them on display. I hope to do it again, and hopefully give everyone a fair warning next time around!

A lot of people were asking me how much I would sell the artwork on display at the Commons Night. Some of you may have wanted to know, but didn't know who I was to ask. Anyway, to answer the question, I sell my 16x20 prints framed for $100 and if you are interested in a smaller size, please contact me personally so we can work something out. It brings absolute joy to my heart to know that you are interested in putting my artwork on display in your homes or work establishments.

Also, keep in mind that I have a book for sale of photos from Eugene called, "Streets of Eugene." It is currently only available online, so shipping charges will apply. I will eventually be able to sell these personally if you'd prefer to wait.

Thanks for everything! I really appreciate all the support and high fives from everyone! I look forward to sharing my photography with everyone again soon! Have a wonderful weekend.

Quick Update

So, some of you may be wondering whats been happening with me since I got laid off from my job. Things have been extremely busy. Who would have known? Being unemployed and everything. I have kept myself busy with photography, and just trying to get things in order. I have been able to keep my bank account populated, and my life busy with many different projects. Most of my photography lately has been paid work. Which means I don't get to share it on here with you. I will get back in order with some model shoots here soon, and just for fun photo shoots.

I am in the process of getting in line some new tools and toys for my photography. I just got my self a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens, Battery grip for my D300, new Dell XPS 1530 laptop, a camera/laptop bag, a back drop stand, 104" wide white/black seamless paper backdrops, and some more gear to get me pointed in the right direction. I am excited to see where my photography will go in the next year. Even though I am not really quite sure where it is going.

I am looking forward to getting some new photography up on here and on Flickr to share with you. So keep your eyes peeled and look out!

The photo above is from a recent set from a week or two ago of Heidi. It was a fun shoot and i got to play around a lot with some new lighting ideas and found a cool location for rainy days. You can see more from this set here.

Have a nice day.
