MOSE show 2010

The mose show is put on every year at UNT. They're a great group and always happy to have me out shooting their show. I didn't make last years, so I was happy to make it out this year.


First up we have Kellye, who some call a perfect 10. I can see why they think that, she rocked the night and her outfits for sure.


Monde was great as well. She has just the most beautiful skin tone.


Lauren is always a blast to work with, I see her around quite a bit, we've even had a one on one photoshoot together. Just a fantastic model. You can see I changed my lighting set up here. It's fun to switch things up.


But perhaps my favorite model of the night was Kendyl. I have what you might call a "photographer's crush" on her. I just want to photographer her more. Don't take that the wrong way, it happens with children, animals and even buildings.


And Jerome to salute us farewell, also to prove there were guys there too. :)


Here's a post from the 2008 Mose Show:

Hawaii, Hawaii

My last big trip was about a year ago, Sarah and I went to Hawaii for our honey moon. It was fantastic. We just returned from our 1 year anniversary trip to Yellowstone National Park. I figured, I'd better make a post about our last trip before I make any uploads or posts about yellowstone, right?!


Here we are on a small plane flying from one island to another. Many of you know how much I love aerials. This is one of my favorites. I love where we are in relation to the cloud line and I love seeing that very defined volcanic crater. Very cool



This was where I played golf. Gorgeous. I walked it the morning prior for these photos.





Then we took a helicopter ride. .. naturally. This is an active volcano.



That's the magma flow. You can see some lava down there. So cool.


Here's the flow dumping into the ocean.



Some amazing waterfalls.






broken ship underwater

hula dancers, my favorite!

Macros and tons of pretty flowers:





























Our resort.






exploring













old lava tubes now caves.









night time lava. This is the same place the aerials were taken of the massive steam clouds from the ocean.

Commscope Portraits

Here are some executive photos I did for Commscope in Richardson, TX.  You might also know Commscope under the name Andrew Corp or Systimax. They are a great company. This is a high executive, Ted Hally. He was great to work with and was able to dedicate almost 30 minutes out of his day for us, which was wonderful. His time is very valuable.


Here I have a four light set up. On Ted I have two flashes: 430ex's either side with umbrellas. Camera left is at 1/4th and camera right at 1/8th. In the back I have a flash hitting the guy in orange from the left with umbrella at 1/16th power. The I have the color kicker, a flash just behind the left monitors with a blue gel and cap diffuser set at 1/4th power.




Here I used a green gel. These highly protected servers were neat, but not too photogenic. The green backlight made them come alive and gave the photo a very techy industry look.

They originally didn't want to shoot in this room because of how it looked with the ambient lighting, but I talked them into it and we were both thrilled with the result. In fact, so thrilled that they flew me out to New Jersey to shoot another executive. Pretty neat.
