So much to talk about

First of all, I have been teaching constantly.  And I have schedule a lot of photography classes and workshops.  So now is the time to learn all my tricks.

I played around with water for a bunch of boudoir photographs.  Be sure to check them out.  Next summer I will be doing this again.

And maternity and newborn photography is always popular.  I love it when my maternity clients return for their newborn photos.  It lets me enjoy a bit of that special time in their life.

 


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.


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!

 

 


So much to tell

The big news is that I was part of a reality show this week.  I can’t reveal anything until it airs, sometime in December.

Pregnancy was the them as I have been very busy with some amazing future moms creating maternity portraits.    I love it when they bring in some new ideas.  Just when I think I’ve seen it all, they surprise me.

I was published again.  This time in a national fashion magazine called Eliza.  I did an underwater fashion shoot featuring retro swimwear.

Some interesting boudoir photo sessions also added to my schedule.   Their custom books are going to arrive any day.

I also taught a lot of photography classes recently, including studio lighting workshop and fine art nude photography workshop.


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.
