It took me a long time to post these photos because of some confidentiality agreement I had with Earl. Anyways, here’s Earl as you’ve never seen him before.

My sincerest gratitude to Earl for letting me take these portraits and for allowing us to shoot at his wonderful abode.

Feel free to post your comments.

Portrait Sessions: Kristin

I invited several friends for portrait sessions last weekend, but unfortunately, they all had to backout on the last minute. Our good friends Dennis and Kristin Adigue was with us that weekend, and so as not to waste the day, I taught them how to get good portraits with their current gears.

Dennis and Kristin did almost all the shots while I assisted and gave pointers (they were part of my earlier portrait shooting sessions; this was just a refresher for them).

Here are a couple of only 5 photos I took using Dennis’ camera:

I was itching to practice shooting portraits one weekend, and fortunately, my wife’s choir mate, Mitch, was a willing model. So I lugged my whole mobile studio with me and went to our friends’ flat to do the shoot. Thank goodness for portable setups.

Some technical details:

Cameras: EOS Canon 20D and 40D

Lenses: Canon EF 70-200 f/4 L and Tamron 17-50 2.8

Lights: 1 580 EX II and 2 Generic speedlights

Here are some of the images from the shoot.
