Of course we will still provide all the services we are known for such as amazing boudoir photography, beautiful maternity photographs, cute newborn photos, head shots, automotive photography and photography classes and workshops.


So much great news

First of all I am now Director of Photography for UFOria TV.   This show is going to be great!

Had some fun creating some fashion photographs.  This model came from Ford Models.  Very talented young model.

And my workshops have been filled to capacity lately.   So if you want to take a photography class or workshop, be sure to plan ahead.

Visit my maternity photography website blog to read about cord blood.   It may be the best gift you can give your child.

This past few weeks I have had several boudoir clients return to get new photos done for the man in their lives.

And of course I have been adding some videos like this one.

 


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.


Motorcycles and Classes

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.

In between I had a chance to shoot some motorcycles featuring some cool new lighting.

Keeping Busy

Valentines Day had my swamped with boudoir photo shoots. I know there were a lot of very happy guys.

In between there were quite a few maternity photos done too. I wonder if any were a result of a boudoir photo shoot gift.

Lots of headshots, I even found some of my work on IMDB, which is always fun.

I did a news story on being a Google Trusted Photographer which can be seen on ABC 15 here in Phoenix. If you want to learn more, visit my Google Trusted Photographer Phoenix website.

I taught a lot of photography classes this month too! It’s been great to be so busy.


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.

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!

 

 


Another busy week.

This weekend’s introduction to photography class sold out early.  There is still some room in the introduction to studio lighting.  I also added two more introduction to photography class later in the month.

I shot some fun couples maternity photos this week.   I love to shoot couples as part of a maternity photography session.  It is great to show the love for a new baby.

Boudoir photos kept me so very busy this week.  Lots of amazing women came to the studio for the photo shoots.  Everyone wanted to remain private so I can’t show you any photos this time.

My favorite shoot was for Flashes of Hope at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.   A great cause that I love to volunteer for whenever I can.

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.

 


Models Everywhere

This week was full of models coming in for portfolio updates.  Some were experienced and some were just beginners.

In between I managed to shoot a few headshots for a couple of executives.

Over the weekend I taught my Introduction to Photography class.  It was a huge success and I got several emails from students telling how I had helped them.


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.
