About Me

About Me
I am a Professional Photographer who maintains a Limited Liability Corporation and a desire to create. I have been in the photography industry for many years enjoying the different genres.

In the compensation area, I have written that "it depends on the assignment" because I am not opposed to helping the starting Model out with their first portfolio or early in their portfolio photo collections...plus supply an additional needed understanding of the industry. We all start somewhere.

My current two areas of interest are High Key and Composite (Green Screen) work and the reasons are :

High Key Style Lighting:
High Key Lighting – Which usually is just the Model or Actor with a white background. This look emphasizes whatever is being pictured as they are the only things in the frame with no other visual distractions. Usually, with “High Key” lighting I prefer to use “Glamour Style” lighting unless the client requests another creative look which we can also provide.

Green Screen:
Green Screen - There is an added plus by using a green screen in your work-flow. It enables the photographer, Model or Actor more flexibility by adding diversity to their portfolio. The added plus of visually increasing the locations via "Green Screen" for the Model or Actor in this manner allows it to be done with a minimal amount of effort and cost. Adding visual locations with "Green Screen" for example an office, city, abstract or exotic locations (backgrounds) provides the viewer with the idea that perhaps for the new the Model or Actor has been shot at multiple locations selling the idea that they have more experience in front of the camera then may actually be or can assist in showing the more experienced talent's (Model or Actor) creative range even help get the job by placing them in the intended genre of the job that they are applying for. Green Screen can also help to express a creative artistic concept whether it be abstract or more avant-garde which is only limited to the creator's imagination.

I do have a studio but can go mobile using Buff Strobes with optional vagabond lithium batteries or 5pc Radio controlled 600ex-rt speedlites if that is required.

I enjoy creating and shaping light using strobes - it enables me to produce a consistent product. I can on the other hand also work with natural light or continuous light as well if the client prefers.

I just finished writing an ebook teaching photographers how to perform Sunset Portrait Photography. The ebook not only provides a step by step process but also covers recommended customer apparel suggestions as well as the importance of triangle posing in groups portraiture.

But most of all I enjoy the collaborative process between Model and Photographer which helps greatly making a picture develop into a work of art.
