First Studio Model

Though most of my studio work has been primarily product photography, I decided to expand my skill-set with in-studio lighting for portraits. I offered Courtney the opportunity to model in-studio in exchange for portfolio credit, and had my first in-studio shoot with her. This was Courtney's first photo shoot as well and she enjoyed the experience. It's important for a portrait to express who that person is, so I asked her to bring something personal, something Christmas-ish. Below are the photos from Courtney's session.

Dec Show

I have four photos at the Chatham grill in Chatham NY. One near the bathroom and three in the side room.

November Air

So the day started off like a normal day watch some YouTube videos check whats happening online, doing what I need to do around the house. Around lunch time I checked Instagram and saw a local artist hid art. So i reread his post looked at the photo and see if i could put them together to try and figure out where it was, I was like "I know where that is and drove over and found it.

There it sits in our mud room. After I found the art work by (scout pines) I remembered someone had unneeded CD stuff like cases and blank CDs to use for clients. So I went over and picked them up. Then I was off to do what I was waiting for all day.

The plane ride was fun I invited a photographer friend to go up with me and it was fun we flew around my house and around the fire tower at Beebee Hill and flew around to houses. It was a little bumpy but not as much as I thought it might have been with the wind and it being mid day. I had a live stream going, gopro filming and me photographing. I need to invest in some iphone camera tools so i can let my phone film and not needing to hold it all the time.

Studio Update

Here is just an update on the studio. A standing desk with a shelf where the tether cable mouse and other things are. The table with wheels is a movable desk for the computer and also a make-up desk with a mirror. Large table and the mini paper is for product photos. There is a waiting couch that we can use for a session if wanted. My art is on the side of the couch. That's the view from the studio. The studio also has heat for when it gets cold and some other photography gear. Changes will still happen, just wanted to do a blog post and a studio update.

Wings Wheels Warbirds

Yesterday there was an event at the Pittsfield Municipal Airport in Massachusetts. This was their first event, a very big turn out with lots and lots of cars to military aircraft. The cars were anything from rat rods to newer cars and everything in between. The airplanes they had there were anything from experimental to high-end airplanes. My friend who owns a helicopter was giving rides they invited me to come with them and hang out and have fun, and I did have fun walking around and taking photos all day. I was going to ride the helicopter back home but it started to rain so we had to turn around.  Here are just some of the photos I took throughout the day, who knows maybe it will happen next year it's definitely something cool and fun to do.
