Camille and Christophe – Fitness Modeling Session
I’ve always admired people who can devote their time and energy to keeping your body fit. As a photographer, it’s hard to carve out time to go the gym and work out. The motivation is just not there… until of course you do a fitness shoot! I had the pleasure of shooting this sweet couple a few weeks ago. As soon as I finished the shoot, I went to the gym for about 4hrs! I’ve been running at least 6 miles a week now and eating healthy. Long story short – headshots, fashion and portraits are awesome but photographers should really do more fitness photoshoots… it’s good for their health.
Strobist info: black muslin background, 2 gridded strip boxes at AB800s and one flash behind the camera for a bit of fill.
Eva Luna – Portrait Session – Model Development
Photographing a model who has extensive dance background is very different that photographing a model who grew up modeling. I had recently had the opportunity of photographing Eva Luna in my favorite studio The Candy Factory in Fremont, CA. Vince Gotti, the Director of Photography at GEV Magazine set the shoot up and contacted the amazing hair stylist Roy from Hairby Roy along with the always fabulous Prince Kaleo from The Armoire Closet to create a fantastic photography set.
Eva was so interesting to work with. Unlike most models who moves from pose to pose, Eva fluidly moved throughout the entire shoot. It was up to the photographer to guide the movement and capture an instance where the movement is at it’s most beautiful state. Now I would never give this posing advice when I am doing corporate headshots or portrait photography here in San Jose / San Francisco area but for some reason, she was able to make it work. Maybe it was because she was a dancer maybe she was just really good at what she does; no matter what the reason on how she made “fluid posing” work, I am looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Lynn – San Francisco Baker Beach
Nature vs. Nurture… do people learn how to pose in-front of the camera or are they just born knowing how to pose? I am no anthropologist but a recent portrait session has me leaning towards “born with it”.
Accountant during the weekday and awesome lifestyle model during the weekend. Lynn was very professional and easy to work with. She had suggestions on location, clothing and poses. The portrait session went smoothly and we would have kept going but it started to rain in Baker Beach.
Nerdy Photography note… I actually had problems uploading this in WordPress because the color profile I initially used was ProFoto RGB. Apparently ProFoto RGB isn’t supported by WordPress and it completely messed it up. It darkened and desaturated the pictures making her look like a corpse. I ended up changing my work flow because of this and I’ll be using sRGB as my color profile from now on.
