p.2 #1 · 3 Models 4 Photogs :: 22 pics


Very cool set Sam. I love 1, 4, 7, and 14. Thanks for posting this set. Hope you don't mind that I add to your thread.

To answer Andrew's question: Why? Well, for practice and fun. We're wedding photographers, but I need a break from altar shots and Uncle Bobs. Just us, light, and beautiful subjects.

Haley, large softbox + window light. I love her tones and the shape of her face.

Getting a decent studio, urban location, three reliable models, two stylists, eight couture outfits, and four busy photographers together during peak wedding season, could have been a freaking nightmare. But it wasn't.
Angel. Large softbox + window light. She's russian and I love her exotic look.

Its not a maglite on my camera in Sam's shots; I was aiming a snooted head + spot grid. While one person shoots, the others hang back or do lighting; we tried not to shoot each others' poses. At one point we had to get out of the studio, so we shot two sets simultaneously.

Apertura was the impetus since they were in town also to do a wedding and a bunch of e-seshes. That morning they picked up Sam and I from the east bay in their big van! They ended the day pushing back their flight, just to get more photos in the better light. Their passion is really, really impressive.

Erin in the abandoned warehouse. Lit w/medium softbox up high. This girl can move! ...I think I'm still in love with her.

Sam's crazy personality also makes him the best fixer possible. Without him we would have had no subjects, no stylists, and everyone's energy would have peetered out. Dude has no limits.

Haley in the smoky garage. My clothes still wreak of sulfur, but seeing her in the shafts of light was worth it...

They all rock. You really have to give yourself more credit.

I saw a ringflash, battery powered strobe, and sunswatter in those images. Those don't count as pure natural light

Can I ask for a few unprocessed shots? Curious how much PP there is in these...



I'll do this on Monday. I think it WOULD be interesting to see. You might be disappointed though. Most of my stuff is close to SOOC.

Amazing, I feel ashamed I use a 5D2 and I am so far away from your results.

Yeah... it's too hard to just pick out a few I like... each has its own special thing. Although, what's that guy in #22 on the bottom left side using? Seems so big...

Dudes and dudets everyone looks at these and feels like crap because their pictures are so sweet but...... it just proves that when you are surrounded by other humble talent that is willing to work/share/and be there for you, you will get better. I hopefully one day will be able to work with some other photographers that are passionate enough like me to just do a fun shoot like this and let it all hang out. Sam, Maurice, etc get better because they push the limit on their own time. Nice job and way to show us how its done.

Thanks, Sam. That'd be awesome, and double awesome if it's SOOC.

Thanks to Maurice for the lighting info as well...

SH, #9 and #14 are silly good.

MR, the 1st shot is so simple, yet, so well done.
