Week 49: Back to the old


Mandiee back in action.

From nothing last week to 3 days and 4 models. That's how I roll I guess.


Usually I do the the blog update kind of late in the day on Saturday or after I get off work if not on a later date. That's because I still could take some pictures on Saturday during the day and it would still count for the week. I figure I took enough pictures to this week and I'm not planning on doing anything for Saturday.

I schedule a shoot with a model from San Diego some time ago. It was for Wendesday the 9th. It was 36 degree out that day. Our model is Miss See-Yin.

One of my friends is a fashion designer that design this shirt. One Love is what it's call. I told him to loan me a shirt and I would shoot some stuff for his catalogue shots. He gave that shirt last month and I only got around to shooting now.

See-Yin was a joy to work with and a really trooper for it being that cold out there. I did an artist nude editorial shoot with her. I let her take multiple breaks to warm up. I had a great time with her. Although some people show up to the spot and kind of shut us down. I'm running out of location to shoot at. Hit up the flickr to see more photos of her.

Then I had a fall out shoot from a casting I did a week ago to try and complete this project of mine later that day with Jaclyn C. at the same spot but since it was shut down I opted to shoot at Town Square. She was already there and the shoot went pretty quick because it's of the cold. We got some good photos none the less.


The next day Thursday 12/10 I had a pay shoot with a model I've been to work with for a while. Nelly is her name. She contacted me months back and due to scheduling conflicts Thursday was the day we final got to do something. She needed some photos for promotion gigs. I didn't have my regular lighting gear so I had to make some compromised and have my speedlight on camera.

And as usually I try to do a little bit of editorial fashion. For the most part I wanted to use the ambient light around and make real uses of the nifty fifty (the 50mm f/1.8). I didn't get to do this with Nelly because I control the environment. I shot in a small space and didn't have enough room to move freely.

I shot on Friday 11th with a model I work with before at the Red Rock hotel shoot I didn't whenever that was.

Miss Mandiee. I always like this girls look and wanted to shoot with her but she couldn't find the time. Here she is now and I'm diggin' on her shirt.

All in all I'm really diggin' the 50mm f/1.8 and I'm thing of getting the 35mm f/1.8 soon. As I mention in a previous post that I lost a piece off my camera. I think it's time to get a new one. If only I had the loot to do it.

PEACE!!! Kids.
