Headshots

Recently Rachel McCash was lamenting that, for all of the modeling work she had been doing lately, she still needed a better headshot.  I contacted her and told her all I needed was 15 minutes of her time and that we could do something really different (different from what she had been doing).  Check out the results!





One of Rachel's most striking features is her gorgeous eyes. Check out this close-crop of her eyes and the original image it is pulled from below on the left:

Vogue Fashion Set

A friend of mine, Christina Winn, told me she was coming to town for Thanksgiving and asked if I'd be interested in shooting. I had told her I was interested in doing some type of vogue or high fashion set and she thought it would be a great idea as well. She actually did most of the work. She contacted a male model, Tim Weaver, to work with us. She had a makeup artist (MUA) lined up (who had to cancel at the last minute due to illness). She had the clothing, makeup and hair designs all figured out and even had picked one of our locations for shooting. All that was left was for us to show up and shoot.

The following images were all taken within one city block of where we met up in downtown Salt Lake City.  The unique design of the art sculpture (the vertical bars stuck in the ground) in a location near Benihani's was to be our starting point and we went from there.

American Bald Eagles

Today I was looking at a couple of images I took two years ago, around Christmas time, up near Twin Falls Idaho.  My brother had told me about an area where he had seen a bunch of Bald Eagles flying around and suggested we go take a look to see if they were still there.

I believe there were approximately 40 American Bald Eagles flying around at the time I took this. Most were too far away. The first image below was shot with the Canon 100-400mm lens at 400mm and cropped in from a 21mp image from the Canon 5D Mark II.

The challenge to wildlife photography, of course, is patience and perseverance. You can't tell the bird, fly this direction, in this lighting and look this way. Oh .. and could you PLEASE come closer? (I don't think it matters how long your lens is, it's never long enough when shooting wildlife)



As the sun was setting, I decided to capture the birds up in the tree together with the sunset.  I believe I counted 15 Bald Eagles in this tree:

Aubree Williams Teen Model

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Aubree Williams, the current National American Miss Utah Teen 2011.  Next week Aubree heads to California to compete for the National title. Aubree came to me for some help in developing her portfolio. Below are some of the results from last night's photo session.
