Run-away Photographer, er, I Mean Runway Photographer

Last weekend I got the opportunity to shoot photographs of many wonderful models at a fashion event put on by Kami Shade. It was called Shop Til You Drop and it was held at Basics in San Diego. I had a fantastic time taking photographs of all the the great models, making some new acquaintances and practicing my photography technique.

Every photoshoot is an experience and this was no different. I'm a little more used to shooting in studio settings and/or where I can control the subjects and hopefully the lighting a bit more, so this proved to be a challenge. The event started before I knew it and so several of my first shots were spent adjusting my camera for the light, and the environment. After a while I got things together and feel I got some nice shots. There's always more to learn about photography and that's why I enjoy doing it - so I can learn and adapt to each new situation. Overall, I like the shots I got - There are of course things I'd have changed in hindsight, but hey - that's life. For those of you models and other photographers checking out my site and these photos, feel free to comment or contact me about the photos.

I look forward to hopefully working with many of these wonderful models again in the future and wish everyone involved in the event MUCH SUCCESS with your career goals!

Can you picture this?

 
Today I'm happy to report that I recently got the opportunity to do a photo shoot for the movie I'm involved with Notes from the New World. The photo shoot was needed to replace one of the lead characters in the posters and advertising for the movie. Natasha Blasick has been cast in the role of "Sonia" replacing another actress. We needed a photo of Natasha which resembled the shot of the other actress and the picture is to be used in the movie poster! The Director Vitaly Sumin asked me to take the picture and I excitedly agreed! The photo shoot actually took place several weeks ago and I recently got a preliminary copy of the new poster with my picture of Natasha incorporated into the poster. Natasha is the actress on the left in Red - looking on at the other two Actors Brent and Amanda. Let me know what you think. I don't have a picture of the original poster shot I was trying to reproduce, but if I find one, I'll post it so you can make a comparison. I'm pleased by the photo and the opportunity to work on the movie, and it's really exciting to know that one of my photos will be used to promote the film. I'm grateful of the opportunity to be involved in this project, and as always, I'm grateful for all the opportunities which happen for me in this crazy/wonderful industry.
