For portrait class I had to design two collages. I went for a look that would be suitable for an 10×20 album.
I really enjoy the previsualization aspect of this assignment. Hope you like.

This weeks assignment for portrait class was “window light”. Using the window as the primary lighting source, enabled me to focus my attention solely on the subject. If I would have been using a flash, I do not think I would have been able to shoot as quickly and smoothly. Using the Canon 5D, I [...]

Here is a shoot we did in portrait class the other day. We were practicing outdoor available lighting techniques. This mainlyincluded subtractive lighting with a California Sun-Bounce. It was quite intriguing how the smallest change in subject to camera position could make all the difference. As a predominately nature photographer, I find the class challenging [...]

It may seem strange, but some of my favorite images lately have been out of focus. Let me clarify. I have methodically selected certain lenses and purposefully thrown the image out of focus. The result, a nice painterly image with vibrant hues and intriguing shapes. I have never learned how to paint, so I feel [...]

What do you do on a Saturday night in Warrensburg? A question often asked. Well, this last weekend my girlfriend and I chose to go see the dirt track races on Highway 13, just north of Warrensburg. We had a blast! The temperture was perfect, the cars were loud, and the fans were fun too. I knew there [...]

I have chosen my collection of street photography for my Creative Photography Class. Street photography has been around for ages, but for me to do it was creative. I try and catch the viewer somewhere between them oblivious and knowing I’m taking a photo. (I learned this from a photographer and can’t remember their name currently.)
Hope [...]

I have to say that I am quite fortunate sometimes.
Today, as I was driving through Peartle Springs I envisioned a photo opportunity immediately. The image I saw turned out to be of a lady named Valerie. She is 82 years old and has been a fisher-woman since she was twelve. Originally from Kansas City, she [...]

Okay, so here are some more HDR images taken with the 5D. I am super excited because I feel that my growing knowledge and experience is leading to some awesome images. It doesn’t hurt to have some cool subject matter as well. This series was done for my Creative Photography class at UCM.
To really appreciate these, [...]
