Toni is an author and about to release a new edition of a book she wrote more than 10 years ago. She decided it was time to update her author’s photo with the book.
This was shot in her backyard in open shade late in the day with a bare flash as fill, strobist style.
Mark came into the studio this week to do some promotional images for his new consulting business. He wanted a few traditional images as well as some with slightly more dramatic lighting and posing. This is one of the crops we came up with… may use it when we print business cards for him, as well.
Its that time. If you want to get a custom image for a Christmas card, the sooner the better. Contact me about special Christmas packages available now through Thanksgiving weekend. I don’t run many specials, so you might want to jump on this opportunity!

So the theme this week is balloons.. and since I just had this promotional card printed up using this image of Bella, it seemed appropriate to share it. I’ve already had great response to this card, I need to do it again sometime…
This entry is for I ♥ Faces…
As promised, here is an image of the lighting that was used for the 13 Days of Halloween headshots…
As you can see, its fairly simple. A flash unit in the back with a red gel, lighting up the shelves behind the subject. Another flash is on the ground pointing upward to give that “horror lighting” look .. the same one you get with a flashlight under your chin in the dark. The subject is seated, so they could look up at me with their eyes easily.. which is equally creepy when done right. For those that had props, such as Disorder’s horn here, I had them hold it close to their faces so it could be included in the image.
Feel free to comment with your own blog links to your Halloween photos! I love them all.
