Jason & Pua

This was my favorite studio shot from an engagement session I did with Pua and Jason last week. We did a quick mix of outdoor and indoor portraits. The weather outside wasn’t the greatest, but it could’ve been worse. I really liked this shot a lot. I know, it’s a silhouette! But I want to really stress a different style when we’re in the studio. Something you don’t see all the time. It’s just going to take time to really develop that I think.

Here is a link to the rest of their photos. They did a great job working with my poses and I hope they’re happy with the photos. I should be doing a few more engagements in the near future, so stay tuned.

Other side of the lens

Stephanie and I got a chance to hang out with Stephen the other day for a few hours. I had asked Stephen to come up and take a few photos of us in the studio so we could send something out with our press release material when we get back from vacation.

We didn’t want anything extravagant, but as usual, Stephen was an overachiever. It seems a little strange saying this, but I always like watching other photographers work. It teaches me so much more about how to handle myself and what to do. If you pay attention to the small things another photographer do during a shoot, you can be sure to pick up a lot. This was no different.

I’ve talked a little bit about pulling out someone’s personality during a shoot, but Stephen has mastered this whether he knows it or not. All it takes is a little bit of time and talking to the subject.

Here’s a few more shots of us. Our press release will be going out after we get back from vacation on the 10th. Yeah, I know we’re bums for opening a business and then going on vacation, but we’re going to be bums with tans!

No, this was not a setup shot. We were actually make last minute updates to the studio before we started the shoot, but I’m glad he got photos of us actually working on the studio.
