Thanks for the kind words guys, especially coming from great photographers like yourselves!

HKYStormFront - I couldn't agree more with the parking decks man, I hate them myself. Its like a college project to shoot on a parking deck haha. Unfortunately that's the location I was told to meet the car so I didn't have much say. With me being new to photography I will take whatever is given right now until I am confident in the quality of my work. What makes it worse is as soon as I got there and saw that it was a shopping plaza I told the guy we will be kicked out. 1hr later, we got kicked out haha.

6spd - Thanks so much man. Thats the good and bad about fulltime job. Only time I get to go practice shooting is at night haha. And because I don't have any strobes or decent speed lights yet I am stuck having to fake flashes with light painting. Need to save up some cash so I can invest into a good lighting setup.

You are very talented and tasteful with the light painting, much props! Was that shot one shot or a composite if you don't mind me asking?

Ohh I dont mind at all man.

It was a lot of shots.

1 front Wheel
1 Rear Wheel
1 Front Left to hit the emblem and grill a little
1 To hit the CF
1 To hit rear quarter panel
1 To hit whole side which I then used only on the top portion of the belt line to make that bodyline pop a little.

I used my EX580 to fire manually into the car because I am now on Nikon and need to get a trigger for it to work in sync.
I also have this ghetto rig I made out of a tow truck light that I used to light part a little of the rear with.

Here is another shot I did last weekend with my car. Again, a bunch of shots put together haha.

Thats actually my biggest struggle. Finding a fun exciting env. I know some guys photoshop in a dif env but I am really trying to avoid getting that fake with it yet. Or better yet, I havnt got a shot where I was motivated enough to do that haha.

Only negative thing about it for me is the great env are in the less wealthy areas and I am always worried about getting robbed. Esp when its pitch dark and your standing flashing a light around attractive everybody haha.

For this one I just did it all in photoshop. I do have that rig program but I use it for my CGi cars. I personally want to buy me a real car rig but before I do that I want to buy me a Profoto B1 500 location kit.

I haven't posted pics here in a while, so here are a few from an award winning set I did recently for a school exhibit:

In my quest to try knew things in the photography world and branch out my portfolio, I tried my first attempt at a fitness photoshoot this past weekend with one of my favorite models, Meghan Bailey. I've worked with her several times through Z1 Motorsports for their poster photoshoots and she is one of my absolute favorite models to work with. We always have a great time together. Out of what I got, this was my favorite shot:



Here's the rest if you'd like to look through:

6spd - that last shot is awesome man!

HKY - I agree, love the highlights on all the weights in that one. Beautiful lighting on her as well.

Ordered my B1 location kit the other day, if all goes to plan I will be playing with it this weekend! Need to step my game up to compete with you boys haha.

This is AWESOME! thanks! I've been an independent contractor endurance coach for a while now and just filed the paperwork for my own business. Putting together a website as we speak and I need ideas for content. Perfect timing and great inspiration! Very Nice!
