Notes: …Enchanté…Merci beaucoup…Hair blowing done with my air compressor.

Notes: Before there was Capture NX and Photoshop, there were old school Cokin filters.

Notes: It was an honor photographing such a lavish wedding.  Covered the family events as well, and it was interesting seeing all the little ceremonies that have been practiced for centuries.  Amazes me how cultures can assimilate so well in America, yet still hold on to their own language, music and traditions.  Managed to use all of my lenses (different tools for different purposes) and a few decent remote speedlight photos, but after reviewing all the images, sometimes it’s best to just shoot in the “natural” light of the environment.

Took a friend to a casting call for a rap video (…crank dat…ohhh!).  It was over pretty quick so took the opportunity to try some strobist shots around the ATL.

Technical Notes: As you can see, SB800 with the diffusion dome, hand held.

“…It’s such…It’s such a perfect day…”

Dunwoody Model Meetup | Photo Barn | Lilburn, GA

Notes: Nikkor 17-55mm 2.8, and 105mm 2.8 VR Micro for these shots.  Shot some with the Photogenic studio strobes, but couldn’t get my usual results so went back to the good ol’ SB800 in a softbox for some images.  Nextdoor was an old Chevy remodeling place.  Mosquito repellant, chinese parasol, bike, and rice pickin’ hat courtesy of me.
