This I shot in November/December. She liked the art perspective of my work, and looked at that in a photographer so she booked with me. It was chilly at times, but we ended up with some great shots! :)

This was a fundraiser show in Wapakoneta, Ohio, where Kent Boyd is from, to help raise money for the Wapakoneta Performing Arts Center at the high school. The show took place on February 19, 2011, and they wanted to raise money for the PAC to inspire fore more shows to be created for the locals and kids to enjoy some different entertainment in their small town. I was lucky enough to meet all of them and photograph this amazing show.

Shoots with Brandi

 The texture just added some color too it, because it was high key before. But this shot made me think of an idea for the future, possibly a "Romeo and Juliet" themed :)

 Got away of my school requirements, and did a little fashion.

 Kicker light is very dim after changing this into an intense black and white photo, also accomplished a sloppy 45 lit on her face :P

 This shoot had soo many wonderful shots. I still don't know if this is a good representation of it. I want to do another one in a field with balloons.  Sunset as kicker, white lightening as the main light.

 Another toned out black and white. Sun is kicker, and the white lightening as main.

Last minute shoot with the first snow flakes in winter of 2011. Missed the big ones, but still got an awesome shot.   The back light is a street light, metz AF50 off camera with an umbrella to the right, lighting the front of her. Shot with a 35mm 1.8 Nikkor lens.


These are some shots I have done with Brandi, a friend of mine who is a good model. As you can see I have done a variety of shoots with her! Enjoy :)
