Night Fashion Shoot

These Images are from a recent Fashion shoot I did. I rented The Alien bee ring flash (ABR800) from borrowlenses.com thanks by the way! (pay me now for the mention) lol. I used the ring flash as a main light for most of the shots, it works very well as a fill also. Overall I was really happy with it, lots of power right in your face! I did have to lug around a vagabond on my back, and hold the ring flash, camera combo so it wasn't for the weak, lug this set up around for a few hours and you will know what I mean.

St.Louis Trip


Last month I went and visited my friend and photographer Jonathan Lehman in St. Louis. Had a great time and here are a few images from that weekend. I did get to take the old Mamiya RZ67 for a spin, and Jonathan got to test out my Canon 1Ds Mark II with the 85mm lens. The Mamiya is amazing and is probably my favorite camera, its funny how I like the old film camera more than the expensive digital body! By the way if you are ever in the downtown St. Louis area you have to eat at Sweetie Pie's, this place has some home cooking thats just as good as grandmas!
