Street Photography: How I approach people
If you couldn’t tell, I’m really enjoying this new found love of street photography. As my Street Portraits gallery has grown, some of you have asked how I approach these people on the street.
To show you how, I took my Fuji X100 into D.C. and used my Flip video camera to give you a first-person point of view.
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.
Classic Ford Mustang Photoshoot - Behind the Scenes
I have been waiting to find the perfect location to photograph my very own 1966 Ford Mustang and after a little research on Google Maps and making some calls, the wait is now over. My dad and I purchased this car from a guy in California while I was a sophomore in high school. Fun fact: It was shipped to us in an enclosed trailer right next to Mario Andretti’s Lamborghini.

Shooting for the Washington Kastles - Part 3: WTT Finals BTS
The Washington Kastles had a magical 16-0 undefeated season this past July. It became the first team in WTT history to complete such a task. At the end of their regular season, both Rich Kessler and I were asked to travel with the team to Charleston, SC for the World Team Tennis finals where the Kastles were favored to claim the championship.
Since I’ve already shared what gear I used and tips for shooting tennis and sports in general, I thought it would be fun to share some of the behind the scenes moments that took place during finals weekend.

If you have been following my Facebook and Twitter updates, you’re well aware that I got the opportunity to photograph all of the Washington Kastles’ seven home matches during their one month season this past July. I also traveled to Charleston, SC where I got to photograph their playoff match, and the league final as they closed out their perfect season by winning the WTT 2011 Championship.
So some of you might be wondering about what kind of gear I used and how I lugged it all around during the matches. Or you may be curious if I rent any of the gear, and if so, from where? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about in this first of three posts about this fun and exciting experience.
