A BTS look into the making of these images.

KIT & ACE - SARAH DEWALD

I had the opportunity to collaborate with a great local blogger Sarah Dewald and an awesome fashion retailer Kit & Ace recently. I am very selective with the "test" and collaboration shoots I take on these days because I feel that anything you do for free should be worthy of your book. This fit the bill right from the get go and I was exited to see what we could come up with. The concept was fairly simple.. bright, poppy, on white, and then play with adding in colored shapes on looks it complimented. 

Though our first setup was simple I did light this in a way that was new to me. We had a beauty dish as our main light then directly behind it I had a 60 inch octa box that was powered two stops below the dish. As fill I had a bare bulb Profoto D1 bouncing into a 4x8 white foam core about 15 or so feet away to really fill the room. I love this lighting and it may have been the first time I have done this but it wont be the last! There is a BTS below that shows how the main and first fill were set up.

Our second setup was really just something I asked if Sarah would do at the end of the shoot. I had just gotten this new custom hand painted canvas backdrop made and couldn't wait to try it out! The lighting on this is something fairly new to me but I love it so much. We had a beauty dish high and behind her powered a little hot then the front fill was created using that same Profoto D1 bouncing into a 4x8 foam core like the previous set.  I also had the 60 inch octa far off camera left  just adding a touch more directional light. This is a look I love more and more every time I use it. You can see a BTS of this setup below.

Marcus Barber

I met Marcus a few years ago when I photographed his band at the time Come The Dawn. He recently reached out to me because he is pursuing acting and needed some head shots. It just happened to be perfect timing because I just got some new modifiers and wanted to break them in! 

Field Test

This image set was the result of a for trade test with model Becky D. and hair/makeup artist Heather Hamlet. I had found this field while scouting a few years back and used it one other time but it was time to go back and put it to good use again. The idea was fairly simple but I love the results. I have to admit the foreground elements were kind of an accident at first because I had to be so far back with my 85mm I was in tall grass. But when I realized how it could be an awesome element in the photos I went with it and I have to say it's one of my favorite parts of this set. 

Here is a BTS look at how these were made!
