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.

 


Hiding from the Heat

Category : Studio

Record high temps this week here in Phoenix have slowed the photography down.  Too hot for fun shoots, so just business.

“Fun shoots?” you ask.  Those are shoots I do to develop new techniques or help beginning models out.   I like to try to get on shoot in a week that allows me to do something that I can just go off the deep end.

This maternity photograph from last week is a perfect example.

As you can tell, I do go little bit crazy on these shoots.

I did teach two photograph classes and workshops this week.  They were a huge success.  Several students have already requested to take future classes.

Everyone take care of yourself in this heat.  Drink plenty of fluids and stay inside if you can.  Also look at donating on your utility bill to help those who need it.


Pin-up was the big theme this week

This week it seems I was the Phoenix Pin-up Photographer of choice.  And it was a blast.

You never know where a shoot will take you with pin-up.  Seems like there is always a new prop or idea popping into my head to create something new.

I have another Introduction to Photography Class coming up soon.  Great way to learn how to get the most out of your camera.

I have some special Maternity Photography shoots coming up soon.  These are going to be fun.  Come back soon to see the results.


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.


Man it’s hot

Summer is here and it is hot, hot, hot!   To start it off the week I shot some fitness photos of a model for a calendar.

And of course to keep the heat on we had plenty of boudoir photography sessions taking place.   This shot of August was just a little tease.

And to end the week a fun newborn photograph is always a favorite.

I will teaching my Introduction to Photography Class this weekend.  I always have a good time teaching.


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.

 

 


Boudoir workshop a success

This past week I held a boudoir photography workshop is Las Vegas.  Everyone had a great time and learned a lot.  Some of the students liked it so much they have already registered for my next workshop in Las Vegas in September.

Workshops and classes are available for all skill levels.  Starting with introduction to photography and then specialized workshops for just about every need.

Lambos, Boudoir and Newborns

I love to photograph cars, so when I had the chance to photograph this Lamborghini Murcielago I was more than happy.  Automotive photographers love it when we get the chance to shoot exotic cars.

Took some fun boudoir photos which I gave a retro look.  I like the to every once in awhile have some fun and give a photo a unique look that varies from my standard styling.

And I ended the week with a newborn photography session.  It was twin girls who were not even a week old yet.   I should have a photo for you to see with the parent permission next week.


Model Updates her Portfolio

Had a great week shooting a lot of models for a local modelling agency.  You will be seeing a bunch of photos from these shoots.   Here is is one of my favorites shots from a recent shoot.
