Mandy Luxton

First time in the Studio and also first time working with a gymnist. I liked it a lot, she can pull quite a few stunts.

My neighbor from the studio got pissed just because I forgot to turn off the light when we were passing thru …… hater.

Anyway, I’m thinking setting the studio as my gallery. I can start by painting the wall light brown and the ceiling dark color. We’ll see how it turns out.

Another session with Valerie

This is the first time I shot around my studio, Rex was kind enough to let me use the arts as backdrops. Props to the respective artists.

We didn’t get a lot done but Valerie has taught me a lot of useful tips on posing. She’s really a nice person to work with. Thank you for the tips.

First time at Inn On The Riverwalk

Sheila and I agreed to meet up in downtown to do some fashion style pics. The location was behind the “Inn On The Riverwalk”. The view is really nice and quite, what a beautiful spot to do photoshoot. So we sat down for a little bit, then I explained what my goal is and what we were going to do for this session, then she took off to change. Five minutes later, she came back with the red dress on, oh man, she’s beautiful.

So I started to shoot a few by the river bank then a few more in the back of the offices.

While we were shooting, we discovered another good spot right behind the hotel, we packed all the gears, Sheila put on her black dress then we jumped over the fence. She’s so natural, I hardly have to instruct her on what to do.

At the end, we are really pleased with the results and both of us are struggling to pick the best ones.

Aaron and Christina

This is my experimental shots. I was trying to mix the sun light with ABR800 and didn’t have the remote control to trigger the strobe. The trigger was done with 580EX on camera with the help of aluminium foil to bounce the light into the sensor. It was PITA.

Strobist: A single ABR800, camera left and high, pointing down the subjects.

Saturday afternoon with Brenda

I feel bad because Sofia came over to the house ON TIME but I wasn’t there. Brenda didn’t know my real name so when Sofia asked for me, she said that she hasn’t seen me for a while because Brenda thought Sofia was talking about the other Will. Supposedly Sofia called me, but my phone didn’t ring and I didn’t get any missed call from Sofia. Anyway, the Taco place was taking forever just to make simple breakfast meal for Aaron and I. I should have told Brenda that Sofia is coming over, but I thought I could make it back in time. It was a mess.

So Brenda kindly volunteered to take Sofia’s place, then we headed to Mike’s house. It took us about 2.5 hours.
