Friends (31)About Me
My name is Stef and I am owner of Aperture Labs LLC d/b/a Aperture Photography in Albuquerque. This is my job; I'm not a hobbyist. I recently joined mayhem when I found I was doing more and more glamour and high fashion shoots.
Light, and the lack, is key for all photography. Above all else (equipment, photoshop, film vs digital, etc), light creates the shots. I want to use both traditional lighting and unusual/experimental lighting with a goal of creating dynamic, compelling imagery. Understanding and "seeing" light for a photographer is like a painter understanding pigments. I don't push a button; I create art. I'm always looking for interesting photographic projects, especially unique shoots with difficult challenges. I want to have to study new ways to make a shoot work, and then actually make it work. I've done many model shoots on location, but the real fun is studio sessions where I have complete control over the light and the assorted light modifiers I employ. If you are a model or actor and need a glamour shoot or headshot, my prices are competitive and I also make very affordable comp cards. I am occasionally willing to do a TFP shoot, if I think it is a great concept that is mutually beneficial, and have done many pro bono fashion shows because they have high visibility, are professional, and are great fun. You're welcome to bring your own music and an escort to a TFP, but your escort must not interfere while I'm shooting and may not bring a camera. A female staffmember will be present if you give me advance notice. There are a couple ways you can get paid as a model: arrange to sell your photos to a magazine/website/etc, or arrange a magazine/website to contract with me to shoot photos of you in which case I pay you a portion of the proceeds. I'm very flexible and will make the phone calls if you have a tip, and in this business which lives or dies by word-of-mouth, I'm careful to do honest dealings with everyone. I have a lot of experience shooting: Portraits Glamour Nudes Runways Fashion shows Weddings & Events Unit stills (Television and movie sets) Visit our main website and blog at http://aperture-labs.com for current events and recent shoots, and to contact us.
