Studio Lighting Addition

Finally got a chance to utilize the new in-home studio, and i LOVE the lighting setup. Added a new 22" beauty dish with grid, and it seems to have been the key missing ingredient. These were from a test shoot with the amazing Vanessa Geneiva.

Fashion Kick-start

Immersed into the world of fashion photography with the help of Dean Zulich of VH1's "The Shot" fame. I shot this for a "Personality" challenge. Surrounding Dean (with the cameras) in this shot are Logan Neitzel (Seattle top fashion designer, and contestant on the upcoming Project Runway Season 6), and Seattle top models Leah Ferrel, Michelle Green, James Flu, and Eriq Haritonov.

Since that initial workshop, Deb and I have been assisting Dean on a bunch of studio & location shoots (along with Nicholas Heilweil & Brian Chambers).

This also led to eventually shooting Logan's "Spring 09" line at Seattle Fashion Week. Those images can be seen at LoganNeitzel.com in the Collections gallery.

The one that started it all

This was one of my first real "concept" shoots a few years ago. It was the first time I'd used multiple lights with a model (Bryan) and 2 assistants (Rai & Ben) at a remote location.

It kicked off a series of crazy ideas, and lit the fire.

Word of warning: Knights in full chain-mail walking down the street with real broadswords don't get a second look in Seattle.
What's up with THAT ?!
