Studio Session

Got to shoot with Austin Stinson the other evening inside the RiverRoom and a Lawyers office next to it with a model. It's always good to get out and mess around with some lightning and a location and see what you can make of it. We tried our best to add some movement to each others photo's with some wind, it's actually harder than you think to wave a giant piece of cardboard and make just the right amount of wind to blow the model's hair softly and not just blast them with a gust of air haha. Check out a few pics from the day. I shot a few from behind the scenes and a few of my own. Digg it.

Messing around with my new 85mm

Had the chance to mess around with my new lens the other evening. Its pretty amazing but the focus falls off so fast at f1.2 that it will really be a challenge to make sure I get the right focus every time. Here's a few photo's from the evening, a few are good, a few I lost the focus but it was just good to get out and shoot. 

The Full Bloom Charity Fashion Show

I got invited by Russ Roe(russroe.com) to attend and shoot his fashion line at the Full Bloom Charity Fashion Event. It was an awesome event with a pretty good turn out. I snagged some photo's of his line and a little video take a peak at the pic's. 

 The 3 photo's above were RussRoe's clothing line. The ones below are a few I took that I just thought were interesting

Sunday

Today was a relaxed awesome day of shooting. I met up with Austin Stinson at the River Room where he had a little fashion shoot going on and I decided to do a little behind the scenes shooting. I shot mostly video stuff which I don't have uploaded at the moment but I did snag a few pictures too. I was trying to break in my new monopod and get ready for this upcoming wedding season where I will be shooting mostly video. It's an exciting change of pace and has definitely got me pumped up. Here is a few stills from throughout the dayyy and few from the beach from yesterday.

Photo's from my days around the house

I recently purchased a 85mm 1.2 which is currently on its way to me via fed ex and I have been shooting with my other prime my 50mm 1.4 to get ready. In other news I also recently purchased a manfrotto monopod which is amazing. I cant wait to shoot more with it and really break it in when my 85 comes. The 85 really excels for dslr video and the monopod is a priceless accessory that helps nail some key shots. Its friday and its time for a beer. Cheers everyone.

Hospital Shoot

I assisted the amazing photographer Joshua Curry (joshuacurryphoto.com) yesterday on a photoshoot at a local hospital. It was actually pretty fun, a long 12 hour day but definetly worth it. We photographed just about everything that goes on in a hospital. Doctors, Nurses, New born babys, CT scans, releasing a patient, and an amazing surgical robot call the davinci. We actually had to get suited up before we could go in the room with the Davinci which made the day a little more interesting. Here is a brief explaination of the robot.

"The da Vinci System consists of a surgeon’s console that is typically in the same room as the patient and a patient-side cart with four interactive robotic arms controlled from the console. Three of the arms are for tools that hold objects, act as a scalpel, scissors, bovie, or unipolar or dipolar electrocautery instruments. The fourth arm is for an endoscopic camera with two lenses that gives the surgeon full stereoscopic vision from the console. The surgeon sits at the console and looks through two eye holes at a 3-D image of the procedure, meanwhile maneuvering the arms with two foot pedals and two hand controllers. The da Vinci System scales, filters and translates the surgeon's hand movements into more precise micro-movements of the instruments, which operate through small incisions in the body."

So its a pretty intense machine, but its really phenomenal. It cuts multiple weeks off of recovery time and leaves minimal incisions. It was a great day and I learned a lot, definitely one I wont forget.

Heres a photo of us all dressed up.                                      This is a picture the da vinci robot
