Be careful who you ask!

Here's an image that Eric Cameron and I took as part of a lesson plan for our Florida seminar (on the left). This is a great image, but editing could make the difference!
You be the judge. Which looks better?

This brings up a good point. Be careful who you ask to take your photos... Do they know what finished looks like?

They could describe this to you ...

Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk 2015

This year's 8th annual Scott Kelby World Wide Photowalk was a bit hampered by the weather, but amazing none-the-less!

This year my friends and I took a brisk jaunt through the Cincinnati Zoo capturing a unique perspective for all the world to see!

These are just the initial downloads from my 6D with the Iphone app!

Menacing!

The overcast light turned out to be fun to work with, even though it was chilly.

I formally met some really brilliant nature photographers that pointed out plants cool bugs like!

And my darling Vivian was there with her camera clicking away with her little camera.

And the beautiful Kat was sporting a lovely new pink polka-dot umbrella.

I spent a fair amount of time in the animal "houses."

Still a great experience!

Afterwards a select group headed to Skyline chili.

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.

Michael Zero's School Debut!

Last weekend international rock star photographer Michael Zero opened the doors on his fabulous new teaching facility in Kenwood!

Many many photographers from the area braved the puffy white snowflakes to check out this impressive new setting.

And it was no disappointment either. This space has classroom settings, small gathering team workshop spots, one of the clearest and best looking projectors as well as enough space for...
