OK back to Kris…

I got the email thursday and had the shoot on friday. And they needed prints by Saturday 6am. I’m glad I invested in my Canon Pixma Pro 9000. Ritz camera photos just don’t cut it any more. They needed this pics for a professional modeling portfolio, you can’t go in there with copy and pasted pics from your myspace page on 8.5 x 11 printer paper.  I dont usually print myself but this was an emergency situation.

Kyle took some pics and rolled out cause he had people waiting on him back at the barbershop. lol ( he was at the studio over an hour )

Kris was good for his first big shoot. He can handle anything being that he’s served his country in Iraq.

We shot a some indoors then went out to Philly for some location pics. It was hot-outside and inside. I just bought 2 more Alienbees so my studio heats up alot faster. I need another A/C just for that room.

Here go some of the pics from the shoot.

Outside pics were crazy. I had bought a couple of ND Filters from B and H on my day date to NYC last Thursday. They helped lower my f stop for a better depth of field while in bright sunlight. It pretty much makes a f/8 turn into f/2.8. Yummy. So here are my first shots with the filters. I got one for my 50mm 1.4 and one for the 70-200mm 2.8 and 17-35mm 2.8.
Ii also brought out the Vegabond II with 1 Alienbee AB800 and a 22″ Beauty Dish.
something like this:

And the final results looked like this:

The difference between f7.1 and f1.4. I forgot I had the filter on and I was shooting natural light now so I was like lets stop it down and see how it comes out. I rarely shoot at f1.4 because the focal plane is so small its hard to get anything in focus, resulting in “soft” images.
