Product Photos
I usually never use the term photo, or photography or any of those high class words, why? Because I consider those words to be of a very high caliber and people throw them around wayyyy to much and its quite annoying and makes the people that really try look dumb, so i usually say picture taker or picture etc. BUT for once in my short time of doing this stuff, I am VERY happy with these “photos”. I used a Plexiglas surface and a soft box for the products. I shot a 2 flash from the very top coming down over the box. The result is extremely pleasing, I have learned so much about lighting in a soft box, when I think I got it down, I try something new and make that early stuff look amateur. Here are the examples!

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.
Nikon D700
Nikkor 70-200 2.8
Manfrotto Master Light Stands
Nikon Speedlights
SB900
SB800
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!
