Shootout with Justine and the Crew – Phoenix Fashion Photographer
Posted on February 7, 2010
I am so behind on posting!!! A few weeks ago we had our first meeting for my photography group for 2010. Made up of some of my good friends and other gals in the photography community. It’s a supportive group of some really fun girls. I decided that for the first meeting of the year we would have a “shootout.” That is when you convince a model to stand in the freezing cold wind during a potential downpour and model for 3 hours, for free (for images). Justine was our model for the day and such a trouper. She did awesome! You may remember her from last year when I first worked with her. She is also my assistant. I love Justine.
Here are some of my shots from the day. Soon I will post some shots from later in the meeting. I set up a crazy booth (that name belongs to theimageisfound btw…but you all know what crazy booth is..) The ladies got a little nutty. I will make sure to throw some of those up later this week! For now enjoy these images on that moody, cloudy day we had a few weeks back. (Moody, makes color pop…love it).
My good friend Sarah Godman
Craziness!!!
Happy Holidays – stuff yourself silly.

Beverly Kidd of News Channel 3

Here’s a great recent session with Beverly Kidd. She came down to the studio and we had a blast. She is so much fun to work with!
She had some concepts that she wanted to try. We went to a rooftop downtown in Phoenix to get the night shot. I used a constant light source to mimic the sunset affect because it was actually hidden by the garage we were in. What you can’t see is the Mercedes that I was manuevering around trying to get her shot because it was in the parking spot I needed to use. We laughed a lot while trying to get set up. She almost stood on my generator to get tall enough for the railing. I figured I better not have one of Phoenix’s big newscasters balancing on a gas generator for the sake of a shot. The funny part was it was her idea.
I shot this with my Canon 50 1.2 at about 2.8. My ISO was right about 600 even with the light source, I needed the back sky lit. I had to further enhance the skyline in photoshop and lightroom and run a little noiseware. I used a tripod to keep it as crisp as possible. So as you can imagine, tripod, gas generator, huge (very hot) 1100 watt light all with in inches of a very expensive car. But hey…we got it right?
Here’s the beautiful Beverly Kidd. You can follow her on Twitter @beverlykidd .
