I've been absent for much too long, but for good reasons.
Last month I teamed up with two photographer who had the same dream as I do... what dream is that? To have our own studio and start making photography an even bigger part of our lives.
I've been teaching photography for the last few months and have stayed away from shooting so I can work on finding a location to call home. After months of searching we came across the most amazing place with 1500 square feet of space and 15 foot ceilings! The keys were handed to us last Friday and we began painting and renovation to make the place into the biggest and best studio in the area.
Collecting all the pieces of puzzle we finally have a studio that no one in the area can even come close too, with over 12 lights ranging from 300 watt to 1000 watt, power packs, 8 foot soft boxes to 4 foot octoboxes, a slew of hand painted muslins and over a dozen 12 foot seamless rolls... oh and an alien bee ring light and like a million other modifiers plus a dozen Pocket Wizards to fire the things in unison!
Now what can one do with all this light and room... here are the first samples from the very first shoot out of the studio using all sorts of lighting setups and even reflectors. All shot with the K20D and 16-50 f2.8 tethered right into me new 15.4 Macbook Pro using Lightroom 2 to edit all the raw files shot and all images run through PS3 for final effects.
I'd like to thank everyone here who has watched me grow from the eager photographer to who I am now and it wouldn't be possible without all the encouragement of the people here and you all should be proud. Thanks for being the best photo community a guy could ask for and don't be mad if it takes me longer to keep you all up to date on things.
ENJOY!! C&C is always welcome as well.
