Week 12: The team at the Studio


Rockin' a shoot in Studio

Warning: NSFW


Couple of shoot this week. First one was on Tuesday with Brittany II. Wanted to work with her from a while never got up the nerve to ask back then. She moved away and I thought that was that. Found out that she was in town for a short time. I figure when is the next time I'll get a chance to work with her. So I asked.

As I thought super cool model and even cooler person. Shot on location where we kind of snuck in. Really luck out with the location.




Then we hit the mean street of Las Vegas.



Here's some fun with my instant camera, the Fuji Instax.


Then had a shoot with Stefania on Friday at the studio. MUA Nickee was available and did make-up and of course Lillie help with the hair. Fun shoot. Only one picture right now. Still working on post.



That's it for now. PEACE!!!

Week 11 - More lighting stuff


You too can rock those lights at Xquizit Pix Studio.



I had 2 shoot this week. One on Thursday in studio and one at Town Square on Friday.

Thursday was with Miss Sheena Sisk. She's a Showgirl currently working in Jubilee. Anyway we did some ballet stuff and she needed more Headshots. The light set-up above is pretty much what I use to shoot headshots nowadays. It's pretty self explanatory. Only thing different is I used a 22" white beauty dish and I added another light to fill in the shadows on the left side of her face.

Here's the finish image.


So I was rockin' 4 lights and weird reflector thing which work wonders for bouncing light back into the model's face.

Here's another only using 2 lights. One Large Softbox to the right of the model and another strobe point at the wall to add a little bit of fill light.




Then of Friday I shot with Shelise H. A up an coming model just starting out in the industry. I took her to my favorite location spot, Town Square Las Vegas. We did a very casual shoot. Shelise was such a pleasure to work with and I had a good time working with her even though I was lacking some real sleep.

Random midday blog - Instant Film is Back.


That's right. The The Impossible Project has release some film for our old classic polaroid cameras. The have a different types of film for all the different types of camera. There are still pretty expensive though. Pack of 10 photos is $22.00. I guess it's better than paying for expired film for $40.00 off some dude on ebay.

For some reason I really want to shoot with polaroids. Ahh hell, its just fun to use and easy too. I guess I need to start saving some money.

This is from a while back.


I'm also shooting with a Fuji instax 210. It's a instant film camera and it's pretty awesome. Hit the jump for samples shots. Warning NSFW

Week 10: The Calm Down


TIffany Von Cott - She's an actress trying her hand at modeling.



Shoot with Tiffany on Wednesday. It's pretty much the only thing I've done this week. Other than trying to catch up on sleep. I think I need to easy up on the post work. Some images can do with the old vintage some really don't go with it. I just have to pick and choose which is which.

Oh, I broke my film camera. I'm glad I have 3 of those. And my scanner won't work anymore.

Side note - I was going through old pictures for edits and I think I'm better with ambient light then studio light/strobes. Don't get me wrong I still suck all together but I think I'm more happier with my ambient light work.

I'm still a work in progress.

Week 9: Hell Week


Janette. She's from LA. She's a videographer/photographer and she's super cool.



My job has been fucking with me and my schedule. With the shift change I would be have been scheduled to work 0400-1500. I have a hardship and I need to work after 1500. So there alternative is to give a shift but in a different work location. In the worst work location there, I'll just call it up stairs. So it's like a rock and a hard place. Never the less I take their offer. So since I haven't been there in while I need to get re-certified to work there. Thus I began class on Monday at 0700-1700 everyday this week. Sleep is not something I did a lot during this week.

At least I go to work with some pretty cool people. And a different challenge from me. Available light shoot at night. Shot with Janette on Wednesday.


Then the next day I shot with Ms. Bella Moore. A truly experience model.


If you notice I'm shooting more nudes now. As I immerses myself in the world of fashion photography, I find that nude work, even partial/implied to full nude work, is a pivotal part of the industry.

Both shoots were on limit time. Most of the shoot were with just available lighting. It was a mixture of tungsten and fluoresce light. I shot with fast glass, slow shutter speed and high ISO. And surprisingly I adopted just shooting with large JPEGs, because I'm not really a PS wizard and I really don't know how to use PS.
