Nikki & Scott

I had the pleasure of doing a quick shoot with these newlyweds the other day. They have a great energy about them. They're funny, playful, and most importantly, wicked in love. Here's a little taste of what we came up with.

Don't Forget About Art

Just because you have a tool in your hands doesn't mean you should stop creating art; abstract or otherwise. Here's an abstract that I took the other day that I fell in love with. What do you think? Does this do anything for you? Do you love it? Hate it? Tell me peeps.

Keeping It Loose

I love doing shoots with people. They're a lot of fun. You're constantly hitting angles and changing gear. It's a little hectic and pretty fast-paced. However, I think it's important to keep a relaxed outlook on photography. Photography can serve many purposes, but catching moments is one of my favorites. Snapping pictures while hanging out with your friends can be just as fun and rewarding as being on shoots. It helps your mind open up to more and more styles and techniques. Here are a few shots I took the other day while with some of my pals. Let me know what you think!

A Few Black & White's of Cierra

So I thought I'd go ahead and share with the world a few of the black and white's from my shoot with Cierra. I did the first two with a pretty traditional tone, but pretty high contrast, and the second two I decided to give a warmer tone, almost a split tone. Let me know what you think; do you hate em, love em, wanna burn my house down they're so bad? What?

Cierra

So yesterday I did a shoot with my friend Cierra. It was a beautiful day after that crazy night of storms that you all seemed to love so much. Cierra's not a model, but you tell me whether or not she knows what she's doing in front of a camera!

85mm f/1.4

Wow. All I can say is wow. I got my 85mm f/1.4 today, and did some sample shooting with Bart out in Roseville, and all I can say is wow. This lens is a beast. It is razor sharp at any aperture. Here are a few samples to back that up. Enjoy!
