I had the pleasure of attending Zack Arias’ “One Light Workshop” in the DC/VA area this week. If you’re a photographer and you want to learn about how to achieve dramatic, editorial style lighting while maintaining portablity, do consider enrolling in one of these if you get the chance. It was an excellent chance to rebuild my knowledge foundation about lighting, get into the head of a very successful photographer to improve my own creative processes, and to pick-up some new tricks and ideas. I know my clients will enjoy the results. For more information about the One Light Workshops check out OneLightWorkshop.com. Below are a few of my shots from the workshop. Wouldn’t these just “rock” as Senior photos?!

David contacted me via my ModelMayhem.com page looking to do a shoot to help build his modeling portfolio.  I used a single Vivitar 285 strobe fired by a radio trigger to try to get an edgy, high contrast feel to the shots.  We shot at various locations around Jacksonville, North Carolina, keeping an eye out for spots that would give an urban feel to the photos.  Camera was a Canon 20D, with a Sigma 15-30mm zoom lens. 

Joining David were his friends Ramon and Ryan Lewis.  Both stepped in front of the camera for a few shots as well.  This is a quick grab from the shoot.  As I get further into the edit I may add a couple shots of the three of them together and a solo image or two of each.

Thanks David, Ramon, and Ryan!
