I'm Back

I really really need to get back into do this, its been forever since I've been here, but i realize i don't do much around the house, so i might as well do this! First off, I passed English with like a F+, so deal with it :) So lets just into a crash course of whats going on

Melanie B

So basically, I met this Amazing girl at the Honda meet up that I had posted a while back. Her name is Melanie Brammeier, I usually have this big rule with hanging out with the girls I take pictures of, but this was definitely a big exception. Minus the fact of being able to pose, her personality is what really struck me. It was extremely easy to communicate with her and work together. We didn’t take many pictures but I think I’m quite satisfied with the outcome. I just purchased a 50mm and this was shot with my 70 200 which requires a 5 foot minimal focal distance which is extremely hard to work in my apartment. I have no idea if me her will work together again, but she definitely has a way to go before she gets far, which I'd love to help.. but I know she has what it takes to do this. And myself, I need to get better with directing poses and what not.

on an added note, i REALLY feel like I'm getting more and more closer to that look I want, I REALLY love how her skin is glowing and how the light is wrapping around her. I can't wait to get that 50mm in the mail!

Breast Calendar Shoot

Wow what an amazing day, so many girls and cars! So where do we start, I didn’t sleep at all the night before cause I was just plain out to excited, so I woke up around 6 in the morning with about 2 hours of sleep…bbq some tilapia and started the day with Jdawg. First stop was Intense motorsports. But not without technical difficulties, well, our strobes broke the first second we started to shoot the STI, so Justin went back to Photofourm and exchanged them for a Sony flash which was a great deal! So it was left up all to me to shoot 5 cars, I didn’t have much control of angles, so you’ll have to excuse some shots.
Oh man was their cars epic. We shot 5 cars there here was the first one, A Flat Red STI that was featured in Import Tuner



And that’s about as much as I can show you from there, if you wanna see them all, you’ll just have to buy a calendar!
Next place we hit up was UMS tuning. They were doing dyno runs when we got there and washing the EVO. The pictures turned out pretty good!
And next was the finale, the Skyline R34, and Ms Tessalyn Joi, I’ll let the picture speak for it self



She was A LOT of fun to shoot, very spazzy and what not. Overall, I think the shots could have been better but I mean, it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life, so I’m pretty pleased about it
