Composite Lighting a Hyundai Sonata
A couple weeks ago, my beloved Scion tC was rear-ended. Luckily, no one was hurt and the car is being repaired. In the meantime, I was given this Hyundai Sonata to drive around as a rental. I decided to look at this annoying situation as an opportunity and photographed the slick looking car this past weekend. I tried something new that I’ve never done before when shooting with lights like this. Continue reading for some behind the scenes photos and tips on how I lit the car.
How It was shot: A Personal Portrait
Last week I posted a very special portrait that I took along with a short narrative describing how it was such a rewarding experience. Since it was the first time using this type of lighting setup, I wanted to share some details and explain how and why I lit the shot the way I did. I have also shared another personal piece of the history behind this portrait below as I found it to be very fitting.
Bunny Project - The Paintballer
It’s been a while since I have posted anything new from my bunny project. Don’t worry. I haven’t abandoned or forgot about this project. This shoot actually happened in April 2010. Yes, that would mean it took me pretty much a year to edit and post it. I’m not sure why it took me that long, but I’m stoked to finally add it to the series.

Try something new and experiment for a day
If you follow my work, you know that it consists mostly of boudoir and model photography. I love working in these genres, but sometimes I like to try something new. Prior to moving to the DC area, I worked as a sports photographer for a local city newspaper in Pennsylvania. I absolutely loved photographing sports and sometimes find myself missing it quite a bit. With that said, I ventured out this past weekend in the 104 degree heat and photographed a sport I hadn’t before. I also experimented with the post processing to give the photo an entirely different look than what is currently in my portfolio.
