More Fun Projects

Probably my favorite project this month has been the creation of Orcatek’s Angels.

To become an angel too, just book a  boudoir photo session.

Then I had a chance to work with Kyris for his model portfolio.  He was great to shoot.

And of course I have been teaching.  Since my last post (I’ve been busy), I have taught over 100 photography students between classes and private lessons.

Guess What

Time to catch everyone up on what has been happening here at my Phoenix Studio. Okay, technically Tempe, but drive 1/2 mile north and you are in Scottsdale, and 1/2 mile west and you are in Phoenix, so close enough.

I have been teaching more introduction to photography classes than I can count. Lots of eager students. I love teaching.

Doing more pin-up than usual. The studio is a great place for pin-up photography. Here is a sample pin-up I call Windy Day.

I always like to create something in the classic style of some of my favorite vintage pin-up artists like Gil Elvgren.

And just in time for Father’s Day I had the chance to create this touching father and son photo of a newborn baby and his dad.

Hope to be a little sooner with my next update to what is happening here in Phoenix with your favorite photographer, Orcatek.

This past week has been loaded up with photography classes here in Phoenix.  There were several introduction classes, a fine art nudes workshop and some private lessons.   Next week is just as busy with more intro classes and another fine art nude workshop.

Last minute updates

My photography workshops and classes are becoming very popular.   I have been teaching at least one class a week and have had private lessons in between.

The holiday season is a prime season for boudoir photography, which is why I have been lacking in my blog updates.  Lots of men will be getting a very special present this year.

Sexy photos make a great gift

I also shot a lot of maternity and newborn photographer sessions.  Some amazing new families came in for their shoots with some of the cutest newborn babies.

And of course the rest of my time was filled with holiday portraits.

Have a safe and fun holiday season!

Teaching and Shooting

The past 2 weeks have kept me so busy that I didn’t get a chance to post until now.

I’ve been doing a lot of teaching.  Introduction to photography, Boudoir photography workshop, Introduction to Photoshop and lots of private lessons.  To see what I am teaching next check out Orcatek Photography Workshops in Phoenix.

In between teaching I’ve had a lot of fun shooting.  One of my favorites was a maternity pin-up photography session.  As you can see, we had a lot of fun.

This week ahead is also swamped, which is good.  Love it when I am busy.

So go ahead and book your class or photo session.  Let’s keep this trend going.

Fun week

So many things happened this week it was great.  I did a shoot for the feature story in Automotive News.  Can’t wait to get a copy.  I love automotive photography.

Taught several photography workshops this past weekend.  Both fine art nudes and pin-up photography.  Everyone had a great time.  This week I will be teaching an introduction to photography class for DSLR’s.   Click the workshop link to learn more about it.

A few boudoir photography clients came in for their photo shoots.  More lucky guys out there will be getting some great gifts.

And a few more maternity and newborn photography clients came in for their shoots.  You never know when the newborns shoots are going to happen, so it’s always a pleasant surprise.

I have a large charity pin-up shoot scheduled for next weekend.   It’s going to be a blast.

Fashion workshop and more.

This week I hosted the Scottsdale Community College fashion photography class at my studio.  The workshop was set up to provide the students an opportunity to work in an actual studio to create some fashion images for their portfolios.

Everyone had a lot of fun and created some great photographs.

I am planning several new photography workshops for the summer.  Send an email to workshops@orcatek.com to get on my mailing list.  Topics will include fine art nudes, boudoir photography, pin-up photography and automotive photography.  Workshops will be held across the country.
