The foundation for this image was captured with the amazig Brooke Shaden during Photo Week at CreativeLIVE in Seattle, WA. The final image is heavily inspired by Brook's work, but very much my own concept and style.

I've ALWAYS wanted to go to New Zealand! 😍🌅 ever since my mom told me I was almost born there I've always wanted to go there ( and also wished I was born there) but my dad decided not stay in the Navy so instead I was born in California which is pretty beautiful too so I can't complain 😉💙🌄

After watching Susan Stripling's course on CreativeLive, I decided to try and see if I could create some ring shots inspired by her awesomeness. These were lit with an Ice Light. Reflective surface is my iPad

Nathan has grown up quite a bit since I last took pictures of him. Of course for a 4 year old he still has a limited attention span but if you make what you're doing sound like the single most fun thing he could do right now he actually works for you. Unlike with other children Ive taken pictures of Im not struggling to get a particular shot or pose or look and just let them play away and hope I can wing a decent moment. With Nathan I could actually give direction now, right down to the positioning of his fingers. And he could hold expressions like he knew what I was trying to get :)
For someone so young that is a very valuable thing to be able to do that and not feel awkward, he was completely natural. I know loads of people near 5 times his age that cannot do that with the same ease. Id say he was even as easy to direct as Sarah :P (I might get hit for that)
After I finished with my pictures he insisted that I bounced on said trampoline. I gave him my camera and he went off to the vegetable patch to take pictures. I watched him as he looked around himself for pictures instead of just mindlessly aiming the camera at anything. What I forgot to do was stitch the camera to auto for him to turn back-button focusing off. He was complaining that it wouldnt focus like some sort of diva shooter :P
I think I will start teaching him to look for nice light. He already knows the 'Put the thing in the corner'/rule of thirds tip but today he learnt what shadows and highlights are on a rhubarb leaf :)
I put one of his (uncropped) pictures in the comments. Remember, he is 4 years old.
Oh! This looks good. This guy is great! So is his studio work aand I'm actually going to try and tune into his creativeLIVE sessions next week, partially because I have no more exams/driving test/client meetings and partially becuase of that beard. Like come on.. beast!
I had a driving lesson today, my second last one. Same story, 100% for the first 40mins and then 2 majors on silly things because I lost concentration towards the end. Albiet the mistakes were on things I havent done before so I know now how to do it right if it comes up again :)
Woop! Positivity!

I'm not a fantastic writer so please bear with me, but I wanted to say that I absolutely loved these courses by Sue! I only opened my photography business a couple of months ago, and even though I have a true love for photography I feel like I have been floundering around, not really knowing what I was doing on the business-side of things, trying to find my style, and not knowing the next step to take. After watching this workshop through creativeLive (and some other courses as well, I'm becoming quite the creativeLive addict haha!) I have grown and learned soooo much and have a much better idea of what steps I need to take to accomplish my goals.
I also wanted to add that I absolutely enjoyed participating in this contest, and equally LOVED looking at all of the other entries, there were so many stunning images and talented photographers! I had a lot of respect for Sue Bryce before, but after doing this session, which was my first portrait session like this ever, my respect for her has literally shot through the roof! I have a long way to go but I can't wait to try this again and push myself further!

I recently created a class with CreativeLive on illustrative, hand-lettering. I teach the class using a tablet and Photoshop, but the majority of it could be done the analog way. I recorded the class while I was in San Francisco — it was a lot of fun hanging out with all the great people at CreativeLive.
The class is broken down into 14 easily digested lessons that you can follow along with on your own schedule. Included with the class are a number of extras including: working files, desktops, a discount code for Kyle Webster’s amazing Photoshop brushes, process PDF’s, textures, and more!

I'm not a huge fan of "copying" other artists, although I'm sure there are times when I do, although I do believe that the majority of the time it is subconcious, because there's no joy for me in copying other artists... it seems like a waste of the brain, imagination, and creativity I've been given. Anyway, I would like to give some credit for this photo to Jeremy Cowart. It isn't that his work inspired me regarding this photograph, it's more that his style and technique is what drove me to keep working this concept and not be afraid of the result, because I consider this to be very stylistically different for me. Allow to me explain...
I came up with the concept for this photo almost 6 months ago. I had the general aspects of it worked out pretty quickly, but there were some details that I wanted to ponder over for a while. So, when I finally decided I was ready to shoot this (today), I had almost all aspects of it figured out... to the degree that I just needed to set it up, shoot it, and be done with it. But what happened is that I accidentally walked in front of the camera when an exposure was being made, and something about the overlaying of motion on this scene just really seemed to make sense. It was around this time that Jeremy Cowart's creativeLive workshop popped into my head, and I remembered how much I appreciated his willingness to experiment in really unorthodox ways... even if it meant coming-up with a really poor image. So I finished-off my "safe shot" (the one I had been planning for months), and then went into a totally different mindset (the one I briefly described above). When it came time to decide which photo to process and post, I really struggled. A part of me wanted to go with the "safe" route, posting the image that is more my style and along the lines of the original concept. But a different part of me kept wanting to push working with the secondary approach... the Jeremy Cowart way of being creative and experimental for the sake of creating something really genuinely unique.
The mechanics of this shot are like this... I was using a fairly long exposure, because most of the light in this scene is ambient (from a window, and from the lightbulb in the closet), then a rear-curtain flash would fire to add a bit of fill light. The long-exposure allows for movement, the flash allows for a certain degree of "freeze" on a moving subject. So, right before the shutter opened I would start walking... this creates some blurred movement. Then right before the shutter closes, the flash fires and illuminates and freezes the subject. You can see how the dark areas of the ambiently-lit background get overlayed with the flash-lit subject.
So again... this is my shout-out to Jeremy Cowart for inspiring me to not be afraid to try different things.
(Setup shot.)
Lighting/Setup Info
- SB600 at 24mm zoom and 1/8 power level, bare and bounced. Positioned camera-left about 4-feet from bounce surface, bounce surface was about 12-feet from subject. (Fill Light)
- Lightbulb in closet was flagged with black tin-foil so that the back wall (in the closet) wouldn't blow-out too much.
- Cybersyncs.
Dirty Bird Concepts (which used to be Sinister Industries) flashback. This was built for an out-of-state customer a few years back and I shot it for Baggers Magazine.
Shot at dusk--I laid down on the ground for this one! Three speedlights up high, one right, one left and one behind the bike. The trick is to carefully balance the strobes with the ambient. Canon 5DII, 24-105L lens, Radio Popper triggers.
This is an older image that I edited after watching the Joel Grimes tutorial on CreativeLive. I dropped in a more dramatic sky, I made the mountains in the left of the bike and increased the contras/drama with a B&W layer set to overlay.

Strobist Sunday - June 6, 2010 - Needs A Battery
(yes a bit of a stretch based on the theme, but i figure many of the group members will post things that require a AA or two, so feel free to take one of these :D )
This is a quicky for the Flickr Strobist Sunday group. I spent all day today watching Zack Arias teaching a studio lighting course online through creativelive.com. I'll be around on Flickr to comment and stuff on Monday (after this seminar/workshop/whatever is over)

My beautiful wife...she's never had a real photo session before. It's taken a lot coaxing and begging from me to finally convince her to get dolled up for a session with me. She agreed because I told her I had a chance to win a really nice camera from Sue! In reality, I just wanted a good excuse to finally get a chance to really make her beauty shine. As a mother of 2, she doesn't often get to take time for herself, let alone have a few hours to get pampered and treated like a rock star!
I don't really care if I win. I have these amazing photos of her now (patting myself on my back, but big props go to salonelementspa.com for the hair and makeup)
These photos were taken in a tiny corner in our bedroom (we moved the nightstand that we keep our alarm clock on) using a Sony A77, Minolta 50 f1.7, Sony 35 f1.8 and a large reflector bouncing the window light a la Sue Bryce. As a photographer, I only have 1 year under my belt, but I've learned soooo much from Sue Bryce and creativeLIVE that I feel I've accelerated several years ahead. Thanks so much to Sue and the team at creativeLIVE!
Holy cow! Where did my little girl go?
Natural light. Shot today after watching Sue Bryce on CreativeLive last week. In an hour and a half session, I have so many usable shots it's unbelievable.
Thank you, Sue...

Catching up on some editing, I did this senior portrait using Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2. Applied the "green" filter in SEP, which really brings out the eyes and lips. Tried some of the posing here that I learned from Sue Bryce on CreativeLive. I just have a hard time shooting portraits like she does with a 35mm or 50mm lens,. I always like the 85mm much better.
Our Daily Challenge: Park. An explanation is in order. This image is a composite image. The background image was shot 6/12/2013; the selfie was shot several months ago; and Maggie was shot this morning. I am taking an online Lightroom course through CreativeLive all day today and knew that I would never get near a park, a parked car, or any interesting interpretation of the word park; therefore, I made a composite incorporating an image shot today so as to comply with the requirement that the image must be shot after the challenge is made. I brought together myself and Maggie at the Leo Carrillo Ranch, a park in Carlsbad, California. I had fun making this during the breaks in my course. I hope that you enjoy it. :)

Trying to apply what I learned from Sue Bryce awesome CreativeLive workshop on glamour photography.

This is my entry and I agree to the official rules :)
What I have learned from Sue Bryce....Honestly, not sure where to begin. Her sweetness, her talent, her gift to share goes beyond anything that is imaginable. This women inspires in me things that I didn't even know were there. Looking at the images that have been entered I am blown away at how much love and lessons learned by others as well. Awesome job!
Honestly, the biggest thing I took from Sue Bryce @ Creative Live is "spread the love, pay it forward". After hearing Jill's story, Sue's "ah ha" moment, following her heart, she knew what what she wanted to do...acting on it,....priceless (love her even more for that). Me, chances of winning something so amazing in the hands of someone so fabulous....slim. However, I have and am pursuing any and all avenues I can to pay it forward to more women and families out there like Jill. What I learned from Sue...will hopefully make them proud. Practice makes perfect, and I will continue to do as much of that as I can, and have a fraction of the talent this women possesses. Rock Star that she is.
This women before you is my beautiful friend, she is all that and more, both inside and out. Single Mom of 5 (husband thought it was time to move on while she was pregnant with their 5th child). For the past 10 years she has done an amazing job raising her children and focusing every ounce of energy into them and creating beautiful & smart little beings. Not without many challenges and obstacles.
I learned from watching Sue, what works and what doesn't (yes, I was one of those corny, Yeah baby, work it! types) lol... Now, I sit back, evaluate, breathe, focus, direct, "think".... slowly.,,chin forward, down, shoulder, bootie out, relax you mouth..frame it, speak softly, give me that "tickle of a smile".... "click". MAGIC :)
So far to go....so blessed to have crossed paths and learn from the best there is.
Will continue to watch and re-watch the videos over and over...till it comes naturally for me.... Everyone women deserves to feel beautiful....every single one...! Sue, may someone as fabulous as you someday photograph you so the tears flow from you as they do from so many that see what you capture of them. You are so deserving of that and much much more.
Keep on rockin' it.

After watching enough creativeLIVE, I took the inevitable descent from Elements 10 to Lightroom, and finally to Photoshop CS6. I tried to hold out, but it was futile. . .
