From this same wedding I did a post about photographing downwards from upwards positions. Well it’s very easy when the subjects are much shorter than you.

One good consideration is that you can find cleaner backgrounds for the pictures (like on the right picture)

There’s something about having someone tilt their head upwards like this… they often come up with great expressions naturally.

Remember the things you make them do will effect the emotions coming from their face… ergo the look you get.

This was from a wedding reception in California on the 3rd of July this year and as usual taken at the lowest aperture of the lens 2.8 usually.

Thought it’d be fun to have her mess around her hair a bit.

I mean I can’t do that too often with the brides… so I suppose it’s something new.

This was in between wedding and reception as we went to In-N-Out to have lunch.

So it’s not often a portrait photographer would be putting his life and equipment on the line.

Sure an adventure photographer or even some kinds of sport photographers.
Absolutely for a wartime photographer …

But not a portrait or wedding photographer!!

Well I might not have died falling into the river I’d say 50/50 with the almost freezing mountain water. But it was sure possible to fall in and the camera woulda been toast.
And those rocks were crazy slippery.

Perhaps I’m a wimp or perhaps I want to make it into a bigger deal than it was.

UPDATE: I guess I was right in thinking it was pretty risky… here’s a story of an actual death

Let’s just say my heart was pumping getting out on the rock and the dang thing was slick as anything… but stephen thought ahead and put towels on the rocks … or it would have been impossible.

 001_7S45039

This is stephen getting the towels on the rock. Doesn’t really show that there was no easy way to get to the rock.

I’m sad I didn’t get him to take a picture of me on the rock… but my thoughts were elsewhere.

Might we add the obvious!! They were out on that log… they were pretty crazy too!

And stephen!! Well the kids just a stud… jumping around on those slick rocks!
Going back to my bag when the battery ran out. Etc Etc

Fun times!!

Remember back in the day when I talked about how individual portrait shoots or modeling shoots are pretty easy.

Well I don’t get to do them often with all the other shoots going on and since I’m known mainly as a wedding photographer.

Well Jenny convinced me that I should take time and at least do her’s.
She did a good job because in a week where I had 8+ photo shoots I fit her in for a nice long shoot with 3 outfit changes from direct sun to shady to dusk and even night with lots of off camera flash stuff.

It helps when you’re with good company.

Jenny is working on a fitness show and I wish her all the luck in the world with that.
Tell her how beautiful she is and perhaps even how Amazing My work is. haha

BTW, I stand by what I said this kind of individual portraits is so much easier than weddings or shoots like that, but there’s something about weddings that make them worthwhile… oh yeah and they also pay better.

That being said I’d take nice paid portrait/model shoots any day if anyone is looking.

Part 1 : Keeping the camera Clean & About Festival

Part 2 : A run down of the events & how to approach as a photographer

RE-Edits
I’m including on this informative post new pictures or new edits on old pictures.
So I guess we can say we get to see some never before seen footage from last year.

 001_DS20706

Lots of interest

Well it appears there is enough interest when i posted my last blog
I think Holi: Festival of Colors will be well documented this year.
Please respond to let me know what you think of the information I provide in this Book-Post

Since the post was too long I had to divide it up into Two parts

Part 1 : Keeping the camera Clean & About Festival

Part 2 : A run down of the events & how to approach as a photographer

What to expect and Do – A picture story

  • I got there 1hr early last year.
  • Lines for the colors prior to the event are very long… but those aren’t the lines to get into the event… just to buy bags of colored flour.
  • I got a feel for the surroundings
    I took pictures of the animals.

Lines for colors can be very long but that doesn't mean you need to wait in them... that's just for buying color

So an old friend bought a D90 and she finally got around to getting training from me.

So the funnest way was to go take pictures of eachother.

While i took pictures I narated every move and reason behind the action I made. Figuring that would provide vast amounts of insight into doing people photography and photography in general.

It seems i have tons of different teaching styles based on the circumstance and the type of person.

Anyway she flipped out over her pictures… It was way fun and very flattering all the amazing things she said.

Thanks Chelise,

Man I could put a whole bunch more of them on the blog to show off… but gotta stop somewhere. So you just need to go to the full gallery to see more.
Here on SmugMug – The first 60-120 are my favs… yes there are more… yes that’s a lot. But they said they wanted a bunch and we worked well together… so it just happened.

In case you’re wondering he’s from france and she’s from Brazil.

Four great shots in one evening…
it was bang bang done…
But everything turned out great, and I got lots of shots of each group.

 

Look at the limited galleries or request to see the larger full galleries,
with some of the goofy and fun pictures.

I know a lot of these kinds of pictures (specially of guys)
tend to be more serious, but I tried to throw in some smiles as well.

And even though it was all about the fall colors… I ended up liking a lot of the BW.
And I’m not a hard core B&W fanatic.
