Dani – Utah Fashion Photographer

Dani came all the way from Springville, UT to shoot and I’m so glad she choose me. She’s a sweet girl with a love of fashion, clothes, hair, makeup … you get the point. We decided to make this an outdoor night shoot and we both wanted an industrial look. I knew the perfect spot. I’ve been wanting to use this area for a long while now.

We get there, and a steel mill is having a shift change. We had an audience for a little bit, but we were too busy to notice them. We warmed up under an overpass, which at first was a bit challenging to get lite well enough because of the sun disappearing. Simple answer … point a strobe at the ceiling.

After we went to a loading dock, then on the side of the steel mill. While we were shooting one of the workers stuck their head out the window and said … if we wanted we could come in and take pictures in there. Without hesitation we ran in! Just a few minutes before I was saying how cool it would be if we could get in there.

Our set in there ended after the foreman came out and told use we couldn’t shoot their because of their safety standards. We called it a night as we were happy with what we got.

Dani’s going to use some of the images to help her in her modeling career, and is meeting with some Ford Modeling representatives this week. Good luck Dani!

The Twins

So I had a full day, and it was suppose to be busier … glad I didn’t do my third shoot today. I was more than happy to focus on these two little angels. These identical twins were so sweet, while somewhat upset, there were great moments of calm where we were able to get some great images. I hope I get to work with them more in the future!

Last year, working with Isaac, this was our first project we did together. Dani was great, and willing to do whatever it took to get the project done. Even stand in the cold cold snow. Well, even though these are really really late, I’ve finished our favoriets! Just posting one of these for now.

Xtagged @ Club Bliss – Utah Event Model Photographer

Friday night I get a call from Dani needing a photographer for a club shoot that night. The fact it being last minute was not a problem at all, I like being tested, and thinking up ideas on the fly.

So I get some ideas on how I would like to shoot the event, and rounded up the necessary equipment. When I arrived I was informed the shoot was of a car and two models. I was flustered as I only brought one light stand and no umbrellas.

I still had three strobes, 2 barn doors, and all my Lee filters. While I started to unload my equipment and set up I started to think how I might shoot this scene. I put one strobe with a bard door and a Lee soft filter on the ground; allowing it to highlight their logo only. The 2nd strobe I put on the light-stand with a barn door, a Lee soft filter, and a Lee CTO filter. The third strobe I placed in different places for a back light. Eventually the third strobe got its very own voice activated light stand.

Below are some of my favoriet picks from that night.
