LUCKY THREE


Several things are happening this month of September for our studio.
The first is that we are celebrating our 5th year anniversary. It all started five years ago at my brother in law's house. I met my wife while we worked for other people. I grew tired of working for someone else and was thinking of starting my own business. It was a coincidence that my wife ( friend back then ) was also tired of working for others and she called to ask if I had any work. We met at a restaurant and spoke about everything except business. That is pretty much how it all started.
The second thing is that we have updated our website to show more images and make it easy to navigate. Hopefully if you are reading this you have seen my portfolio and found the photos interesting. We will keep updating the images and adding more in the near future.

As for the last change for this month. We are moving! We found a great location about one block away from our current studio in the beautifull city of Lawndale. My brother and I are working on remodeling and will post photos on our progress. You may not know this but I am a do it yourself type of guy. What ever I can't do I will definately hire a pro to do.

Portrait of Ify

This is Ify. Sister of Amy and Cynthia who I photographed a few weeks ago. At first the session went a little slow because she was not relaxed but after a few clicks of the shutter she posed beautifully for these portraits.




































These portraits were taken with two strobe heads and one Sb80DX portable flash. The main light was positioned to my right and the rim light was postioned to left and slightly behind the client. The back light was on a honeycomb grid positioned to create a separation between the client and the background.
