Close up

Luis — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:05:36 +0000

I had the opportunity of work with some model and with a makeup artist of Detroit, MI area.

Bianca Robinson (MM#1554129) is a great young makeup artist. She is very hard worker. In a collaboration, she did the make up for some model and I did the photography.

Having a good makeup on the models makes all the work a lot easier on and after (post-process) the session.

Here I show some close ups from that session.

Taylor – Blue

Kristie – Blue

Stephanie - Silver

Amanda – Black

All this close ups were done using a canon 70-200 mm lens f4 L, one of my favorites lens for portrait.

On this photo-session my assistant was Leonor F, my wife. Thanks

Selfportrait

Luis — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:21:40 +0000

Just playing a little bit with the camera, I got some self-portrait. All of them were done in a single shot. It is not photoshop cloning. The only post-process that was done was for color adjustment and cropping; Lightroom was use for the post-processing.

I just use a dark studio.
50 mm lens
Long exposition 30 seconds, and
Small aperture f11 or f22
And remote trigger fire the strobes 2, 3 or 4 times.

I was just fun.

Full senior portrait done

Luis — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:03:01 +0000

Few weeks ago I started to set a senior portrait session. The senior is Bruno, class 2010.

He is the oldest son of some friends on Ann Arbor. They wanted a studio session only.

The general step that we went through were:

Set the time for a the photo shooting
Short interview before the shooting (20 min) to get good idea what we could shoot
Very smooth shooting (1 hr 15 min approximately). We tried two color clothing and one beautiful guitar. Of course, he is a guitar player. So, he was very comfortable with it.
Post-processing
On line private gallery
On studio viewing; to see the full set of pictures
Deliver personalized CD with high resolution files (final selection)
Order prints
And deliver print

These is a pair of my favorite pictures from that senior portrait session:

Thanks Bruno and his parents.
