Simplicity

Tweet A few weeks back I was assisting Michael Gomez (www.gomezphotography.com) at Studio Daylight (www.visualreserve.com/studio). Michael was doing a shoot for a modeling agency and gave me the opportunity to shoot one of the models. I did a super simple set up with a grey backdrop and natural light. Simplicity is key to this photo.

Hair

Tweet Last week I had the distinct honor to work with hair stylist Kenya Smith www.kenyashairstylist.com and make up artist Marie Ali Sweeny www.wix.com/marieali/marieali. The above is one of the many images that were made that day. Kenya and Marie come together to create some crazy styling.

Halo Stereo Retouch

Tweet I finished up retouching one of my pictures from my session with Halo Stereo. Tonight Wes Aldridge and myself will be meeting with the band again to show them the pictures. I went ahead and printed this one off to the band to give them as a gift. If you have not already you should check out their website http://www.myspace.com/halostereo. The band makes some great music.

Whit Aldridge

Tweet The other day Whit Aldridge came into the studio to hang out. Whit is Wes Aldrige's brother. I had him stand in for a test shot before I shot Kristen Kukta. This is a natural light portrait. At Studio Daylight natural light pours through the windows all day. This portrait is a great example of how simple a good portrait can be.

Testing

Tweet
Yesterday Wes Aldridge and myself held a test day at the studio. A big thanks goes out to David Bean and Michael Gomez. David allowed us to do the test at his studio, Studio Daylight in the heart of down town Nashville. Michael allowed us to borrow some of his gear.

This is the first shot that I will be posting up from our testing session. We had a country music artist, a model, and a band show up for our test day. More pictures and information to come.

Danielle Dobbs' is the model in this picture. She is an amazing model to work with. You can find Danielle on Model Mayhem
