A day in Seatle

A little while back I caught a flight up to Seattle to spend a few days with my oldest friend and his family that I hadn't seen in about a year and a half. Other then a day of golf, which was only my third time playing, the only thing we got out to do was explore Pikes Place Market. It's the place where the throw fish to each other at one of the bigger seafood stalls. The rest of the trip was spent telling stories, catching up and heavy drinking. But here are my favorite shots from the market.






Everything was shot with a Nikon D300 and a 16-85mm, handheld and processed in Adobe Lightroom 3. Enjoy

This image was done with a softbox camera left with an SB-900 and another SB-900 with a Honl grid behind Kelly and camera left.
Same softbox set up as above and the second light was moved directly behind her.
Just a softbox camera left.

Here are a few images from a shoot I did at a local MMA gym out here in LA with Barrett.

This one was done with a VAL holding a softbox with an SB-900 on a boom above and camera left. While a second SB-900 is bouncing off of a reflector on the floor in front of her.
Same info as above.

Give Peace a Chance

I spent a day with Justine, a new friend of mine out here in LA, out at Venice Beach and this was a quick grab shot that jumped out at us because of the colors of the wall, her shirt and how they played against each other.

A Day in the Sun

This was a very simple photo, I used a 70-200 and punched up the saturation a bit in Lightroom.

My first shoot at Zuma Beach

This is an image from the first day I went to Zuma Beach. Very simple shot, one SB-900 camera right with a dome diffusor held by a VAL. I underexposed by about a stop and then processed it in Lightroom.

My contribution to Indie film.

I shot this image for a friend of mine thats making a movie here in Bemidji. Each person was shot individually and then placed on the black background. For Mike (center) I had two SB-900's behind him for hair lights and then an SB-800 in a softbox in front but from below. The other two images were done the same way except the softbox was eye level and to the side that they are facing.
