Hey all. Here's some shots I took for an e-session last night. I came the closest I ever came to dying on a shoot... and for me that's saying something. Please feel free to comment or rip them apart... I appreciate the feedback. There's quite a few more on my BLOG
Hey brother... in keeping with my on going pursuit of more and better C&C, you're up! Of course, everything is personal and professional opinion.
Strap in kiddies, here we go!
1. Carefree fun... perfect.
2. Perfect control of DOF to lead to the beautiful clients (where do you FIND these people... do you have anyone who doesn't look great in front of the camera?)
3. More carefree fun!
4. Love it... I can feel the speed of the river. Perhaps this is where you almost fell and died? I'm glad you didn't...
5. I like it, as it's your awesome layering techniques being put to great use. Any hope for a shot where the foreground isn't lit and the couple is?
6. Perfect... I'm jealous of Pennsylvania or wherever these were taken.
7. Smogeous... half smokin half gorgeous... yes, my made word from facebook for my clients has finally made it to FM.
8. Just more sauce for the goose... amazing flare control.
9. Again... a solomn moment, great interaction, and her face = wow.
10. I don't care for the main diamond being totally blown out, but the shot still rocks... no pun untended. =o)
11. This is special and tells me that these crazy kids are some fun awesome people... I just adore it.
12. I 2nd your fav.... it's perfectly executed.
As always Tony, you are a FM Rock star photographer and we are blessed to see and learn and grow along with you. I look forward to taking some seminars from you in the future, once you start the circuit. =o)
Whatever they are paying you, it isn't enough. 6 is straight up cinema-esque, and I cannot even tell you how much I hate you after seeing 12. And... What Tim said +1.
Awesome set, Tony! Did you bring the umbrella? I've been tempted to buy one for the upcoming rainy season...
3 & 9 are my favorites! Did you ask her to wear heels? I never get brides in heels -I guess I'd want them in flip-flops anyway, but it's funny to see two engagement shoots with heels up there!
Deb, she was wearing flip flops for most of the shoot, but I had her break out the heels when necessary. Among my brides, I've become known for my foot fetish, so most come trying to show off their kicks.
Foot and leg fetish is a good thing to have , 1 is really great and 12 is in the "OMG" category. Your work is really really special and only getting even better, wow!

Awesome. I was wondering if maybe she saw shots from another post - with heels. Makes sense that she would know to bring the shoes.
