Haley at The Book Cellar

When Haley Renee said she wanted to do a concept shoot, I immediately thought of shooting at The Book Cellar in Lincon, California. This used book store is full of great decorations and hallways and props everyplace. Haley wanted to try a sexy librarian concept and these are the results.

I shot with the Fujifilm X-T3, 35mm f1.4mm lens and an on camera flash.

Fashions with Leanna Sommer

Model Leanna Sommer visited my studio on Sunday and we got some fun pictures all over the studio and yard. A few samples of our work.

To get the laptop light, I placed some LED lights in front of the computer screen. I also had the model sit on a roll of paper towels to raise her up above screen level.  I also had a Godex continuous light to camera right in a strip box.

Halloween with Annaliese

When Annalise Nobile said she wanted to shoot at Bishops Pumpkin farm, I really didn’t know what to expect, other then a lot of people. I had never visited the farm before but I was really amazed by the size. It was more of a county fair grounds environment vs a farm situation. Not only did we capture some great pumpkin pictures, but we also found some places to get a unique moody vibe.

More with Annaliese Nobile

Teen model, Annaliese asked me to do a photoshoot with her in Nevada City this week. The 3 hour shoot included a visit to the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley before it was closed for renovation. We probably had the very last photoshoot in that hotel before the furniture was sold and the wallpaper removed.

We used natural light in the hotel, so that we would not bother the people running around the hallways purchasing every lamp, chair and bed in the building.

Model Bridget Pelzman

I had a chance today to work with a 16 year old professional model Bridget Pelzman.  For a a teen model, she really has very talented and made for a wonderful shooting experience. A few of my images from the shoot can be found in today's blog update.

The outdoor images were shot with natural light in Folsom. I didn't have access to a flash or reflector, which I think would have really been great to help the eyes pop.
