Shoot: Art Pieces for Stephanie Mitchell’s Etsy Shop

Earlier this week I had the chance to shoot Stephanie Mitchell’s paintings for her Etsy Shop: Bonafide Love Doodles. It was my first time shooting inanimate objects for this purpose and I had super short notice to figure out how I was going to do it. I decided on using a single strobe with a 36in softbox pointed up at the ceiling for lighting. All the photos were taken with a 5dmkii and a 85mm f/1.8 lens and shot at f/8 with a 1/125 shutter speed at 100iso. All the photos were cropped, sharpened, and color corrected in Lightroom and posted up. Here are my two favorites that I shot. You should go buy them. Seriously.

Photo Adventure: Graffiti & Poison /w Arthur Bueno!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting with Mr. Arthur Bueno around Fresno, Ca. We visited a graffiti pit that serves as a homeless hide out on the North side of town and an old poison processing plant on the West side of town. I had a lot of fun just shooting. It’s something that I really take for granted when most of my time is made up of gigs and preparing for them. It was a great way to relax and spend an afternoon. No exposure info this time folks, except: All were shot on a 5dmkii /w 85mm f/1.8 in natural light. Go check out his way better and rad blog post from our adventure: Here!

Shoot: I manage Stars / Brian Cade and Friends!

Photographs: Morgan Standen, Brian Cade, Stacey Cacal, & Le’Breaun Camera: 5dMkii   Lens: 85mm f/1.8   Exposures: All over the damn place! 1 Light setup: 1 AB1600 /w 64in Umbrella camera right + Gold Reflector camera left. Shot mostly at f/4.5.

Recently I have had the pleasure of working with Nathaniel Levingston from I Manage Stars. Last week we went downtown and shot the whole gang over 4 hours throughout the parking garage. It does seem to be one of my favorite spots the last month. It’s just south of Kern St on Van Ness Ave right across from Brick (great pizza!). Here are some of my favorites from the shoot. Go ahead and click their links and check out their facebook and twitter pages. And just a quick update from me: I’m booked solid for the month of June which is rad, and July & August are filling up quickly. Go ahead and give me a call I’d love to work with you: 559.260.6935. Stay tuned for more steady updates this month, your pumped.
