    Johnnie did a great job guiding us through the park, finding good subject matter, and brought reflectors and lighting so we could try different shots of the same subject and learn about the effects. Great learning event, thank you!

    My oldest daughter is graduating with her Masters Degree this year and asked me if I would take some graduation pics for her. I normally don't do portrait work but this was a special occasion. The weather outside wasn't very cooperative and the light was flat but soft. One Ad200 in a softbox gave the shot a little more pop. Most importantly my daughter loves the shots

    I rarely delete any of my shots unless there are technical problems that cannot be overcome. When I initially reviewed my shots from this series I wasn't sure what I might do with it but I felt like it was a good capture. This shot was done in studio against a 50 grey backdrop. I used a series of overlays to give it a dreamy background. I hope you enjoy!

    I enjoy macro photography highlighting parts of everyday object wee usually overlook. In this picture, I noted the opening of the white rose petals to reveal the reds and oranges of the stamens and pistil against a golden glow formed from the light diffusing through the scene, like the opening of a painted paper fan.
