Sam Danan Shoot








Today’s shoot was with the amazing Sam Danan. We got together because I was inspired by a photographer that she introduced me to named Jatecson. I wanted to focus on his style, but I ended up taking my own direction and I am happy with the results~! I love that we actually got out today because in the morning it was pouring raining and we were going to call off the shoot. But noon came around and so did the sun! We shot at random local locations in Santa Ana and Fullerton, the first for the gritty building n the second for the lovely sky/clouds. :) I wish i could get out and shoot more on days like this!

Studo shoot- Melissa




Here is s sample of the recent photoshoot I did with Melissa 'Honey' McNeil. The original idea was to shoot at a new location outdoors, but unfortunately this weekend was predicted to be rainy and freezing so I decided to try something in-studio! This was an attempt to try out a studio setup technique that I stumbled across when reading Zack Arias's blog. It was quite a challenge to say the least. THANKFULLY my good friend Brent Powers (a fellow photographer) who is great with strobist lighting help me set up and assisted me for the whole shoot! I look forward to testing out this same setup in a bigger studio space, that way I could take advantage of all the opportunities this studio setup could provide.
Dont get me wrong though, either way the shoot was fun~! I got to test out my new Canon 5d Mark II (!!!!) which I am blessed and excited to get to know. To welcome in the 'full-frame experience' I will attempt to shoot and upload something new every weekend for at least the next month. :) Well, I will upload some more finished photos as soon as I can.
