Man at night

Comments Off

This was a fun shoot. We took the model out around dusk and did a variety of night shots using only natural elements and light. So I had to get creative with timing head lights to drive by and light up the model at just the right time, and to place him just right where it highlighted him how I wanted. Nothing had to be perfect, it was all about making the errors work for the photo. It was back to old-school photography tricks and really a lot of fun!

Winter is over???

Comments Off

So I thought winter was over. We had a really early spring come to Denver this year and I was loving it. Due to the low amounts of snow in the mountains this year creating low level snowboarding, I was ready to move on into summer and bring on motocross and wake boarding season. But today, we had one of our gorgeous spring snows with huge wet flakes pouring down all morning. I’m not sure if it’ll be the last of it or not, but it inspired me to put up some of the snow shots I’ve taken this winter. So here are a few pics to tide all of you snow-lovers over until a new winter comes.

Amazing team work on shots this year…

How color effects mood

Comments Off

Here are three different shoots with three different color temperatures and contrast levels. Each shows how color and contrast can effect the look and overall mood of the photograph.

The first image is a much warmer shot with a hint of green to give a unique vintage feel. The second shot is very low-contrast with a more neutral color to evoke a soft carefree emotion. The third shot is much more dramatic with a rich blue and high contrast adjustment to feel very moody. It definitely gives the feeling of dusk.

It can be really fun to play with light at different times of day with different color balancing to help add to the model’s attitude and the feeling the viewer takes from the image. You can create these different temperatures in many different ways ranging from kelvin temperatures on your camera or RAW editing software, gelling lights, mixing different color balanced light sources or playing with filters.

These are just a few examples of limitless possibilities.

Commercial photography portrait

Comments Off

Here was a commercial lifestyle shoot of a business man in Denver, Colorado. It was for Wilhelmina Denver.  We shot over in the RINO district of Denver near the Taxi buildings to get some nice rich, warm colors for the location. Our model was somewhat new to modeling, but he was really relaxed and diverse.
