Chelsea

This shoot was incredibly painless. It's so refreshing to find someone who is so in-touch with herself in front of the camera. Chelsea is beautiful she's easy to work with. I just bought a couple of Alien Bees 1600 watt strobes and an 800 watt ring light, and I'm impressed with their power and recycle time. It allows me to shoot at f32 at 1/200th sec.

Madison

This was a ton of fun! Madison is an excellent model and a great listener.  Katrina, Madison and I were shooting in the studio all afternoon. They even made turkey sandwiches and brought them out to the studio with cream soda to drink and blueberry yogurt for desert. A fancy studio picnic. We were shooting in the dark exposing for just a christmas light net stretched across a black velvet curtain. Then I added a large softbox and a strip bank on Madison to keep the light off the background. I think i had to drop the strobe power all the way down for the shutter speed. By dragging the shutter for 1/2 second we could either rotate for the light effects or tilt down for the rainy effects.
