Before moving here to Ohio, I probably would have told you that I wasn’t going to ever use studio lighting, that I was absolutely a natural light only kind of photographer, and at the time, probably would have meant it.
I am SO glad that that is no longer the case, nor is it my mindset.
Off camera flash and studio lighting, HOW DID I NOT TAKE THIS LEAP SOONER?
I started working with Staley earlier this year, producing shoots, assisting where needed and just generally learning all of the things. I’ve been buying books to teach myself different lighting diagrams and the theory behind it, but it wasn’t until I had the opportunity to watch it in action that I really truly realized how amazing (and powerful) lighting can be.
This fall, I had the opportunity to produce along side Staley the fall fashion editorial for PRIZM News, which is launching October 1st. No, these frames are absolutely not from that shoot, for those you’ll have to wait for the first issue to drop, but I did meet TyLemar while working that phenomenal shoot. Finding out that his background is in dance rather than modeling kinda blew my mind, he is a natural in ever sense of the word.
Thankfully, he was willing to come get in front of my camera, again, which meant that we got to spend some more time playing with light.
Finding someone who is not only willing to come and get in front of my camera but is also inherently comfortable doing so, that’s a rare thing. We had a blast in my studio that night, created some really fun images, and loaded TyLemar up with new head shots for his new adventure living in Philadelphia.
When is the last time that you had your head shots updated? If you have to think about the answer to that, let’s get you booked.
I promise, you’ll have fun.
