2015 DAAP Fashion Show

 Last week I got to photograph the behind the scenes for this year's DAAP fashion show!

 There's a lot of crazy stuff going on on the other side of the runway and I was there for it all!

 At times there was some pretty intense lighting issues do deal with.

And in one room there are about 100 ladies preparing hair!

 

 And then more makeup with Jason Ervin!

 After final touches it was time to get dressed...

 Just seconds before the big finale of the show!

 And then these beautiful designs by Kat Bishop made their way on the runway

 

And the queen, Laura brought down the house. 

 

And congratulations Kat!

2015 DAAP Fashion Show Preview!

 This was a busy week!
Here are the spectacular dresses by Kat Bishop that served as the grand finale of the 2015 DAAP Fashion show!
More to come! I'm still processing images!

Sarah and Sean preview!

 I have been caught up lately in the coolest stuff imaginable! I just finished shooting Sean and Sarah's wedding yesterday and I can't resist sharing some of the amazing images we created together!

One thing they were sure of was a shot where Cthulu was invading. I really like this. This is the Riverside Marriott who's staff was amazing in letting us photograph here during the level 1 snow emergency!

And the final preview was our Vanity Fair group shot. This was totally Sarah's concept! 

Now Imma sleep! 

Congratulations!! 

More greatness to come!

Westcott Beach Party Model Shootout + Overnight at the Oasis!

 As promised last week, Here's my portion of the

Westcott Beach Party Model Shootout!

My model this Sunday was the lovely Mackenzie.

That's right,  1:00 to 1:30 we were bringing it to the expo live!

 After starting off with the giant Westcott soft box to set our key light we tried to find some fun poses!

Thank you Lindsey Driscoll of Eclectically for You and Jenna Beers for capturing the session!!

We tried out some fast shutter work for kicks...

 Then got down to business.

We set up all the big Westcott continuous lights we wanted.

That got some really great lighting... 

Mackenzie is pretty awesome!

 Then we kicked it up a notch with some mood lighting with the help of my good friend Frank Wilson and the Westcott Flex LED!

The secret to my success is a great assistant!

 Bam!

 Then selective lighting with the Ice Light

The ice light with "barn doors" lets you focus the attention with continuous light.

I think this really turned out well. 

 And then an idea by Mrs. Amanda Cantrell

And what session by me would be complete without a posing example?

Thank you to all who attended!

Now... this fellow is Jake

I snuck in a couple moments with the models at the other booths because they were great too!

 Beautiful woman!

Overnight at the Oasis!

 And this is the man Mr. Frank Wilson!

 The Overnight at the Oasis event Saturday night was amazing! My lovely cousin Holly Angel helped out as guest model!

We also had the beautiful Kasey Taylor...

and the super suave Anthony Treller

It was a fun session with three styles, Glamor, Athletic, and  Boudoir.
