Portrait

I love this shot!

Portrait

This is more in line with the images I like to create. While they definitely serve a purpose, I don’t really like plain whiteish backgrounds. I much prefer dynamic lighting with shadows if I’m using strobes.

This shot is featuring my #suicidegirls “Fill in the blank____” tee.

What do you think about this style? Do you have a preference?

So much emotion 🙌

boudoir, Portrait, portraiture

One of the things I find so interesting and captivating about Laz’s shots are her emotive facial expressions. I love this look. This is one of her signature expressions. What do we think about Laz? Have you all enjoyed her shots this week?

Heading into the weekend and wrapping this series

Portrait, portraiture, self portrait

What has everyone thought of the series? Have you tried this kind of shoot?

Here’s the “gift” I mentioned:

Would it surprise any of you to find out that this isn’t actually a true golden hour shot? This was manufactured using strobe and gels! Doesn’t it look legit?! There’s actually a strobe on the other side of this window. It’s setup tall and facing at a downward angle (to mimic the sun) and, I have it remotely firing through the blinds. Isn’t that cool. I LOVE the creativity involved with photography. I don’t NEED a sunny day to take sunny portraits; just a little bit of creativity.

Are any of you going to try this? You need a pretty powerful strobe and you need some quality CTO gels. 1 or 2 should do it.

Let me know how it goes for you if you try it!

Have a happy weekend!

Time to let the sun shine in :-)

I learn so much when I do self shoots. I had a ton of fun capturing these. Enjoy!

P.s. Stick around til the end of the series. I have something for you 🙂

Geek is chic with Baby T

boudoir, Girl Next Door, Portrait, strobe photography

The goal here was to create a mock SuicideGirls.com set. I became a fan of the photo sets there because all the aesthetic when I joined up was pinup/girl-next-door boudoir. Who can’t relate to having a gorgeous neighbor? Lol..

Anyway- The whole point is to look cute and relatable without looking like you’re trying too hard. This is NOT an easy feat. It takes a lot of work from everyone involved to create a great photo set in this niche genre.

Baby T made it look hella easy but, I assure you, we WORKED this day lol..

Enjoy the results

2021 and we’re still hanging in there :-)

Headshot, low key, photography, Portrait, strobe photography, studio

This a portrait photo from quite a while ago that I just never got around to editing and finalizing until recently. This is definitely one of my preferred angle of capture for self shots. I think it flatters me very much. What are you thoughts on this low key portrait type? Do you prefer high key? Lighter backgrounds? Or do you prefer this look? This is a 1-light mobile setup but you’d never know it from the shot 🙂
