We were recently contacted by Kirsten, who was looking to have some shots done on a local farm in Elkton, Maryland. Personally, I love shooting on farms, especially when we have access to a barn.
Here are a few previews from her session.
And in between shooting, she even was patient enough to allow me to grab some film shots with my Canon AE-1 (which still continues to impress me).
This past Sunday was the big Baltimore area Model Mayhem meet and greet held at Patapsco State Park. These are generally more socializing and networking events than actual shoots, but we always manage to get some shooting in regardless.
Always a good time and usually a good chance for me to work with “one light” setups as we are constantly on the move. And to top it off, David Hobby (the creator of strobist.com) stopped by to chat and shoot. Great guy, and definitely my inspiration for using off camera flash as much as possible.
Here are a few from the day (all shot using one light):
And one of the main reasons I attend these events is that some of my awesome friends (who are also photographers) are in attendance and fun to hang out with.
Looking forward to the next event in October!
Not only a couple of models who I met through Model Mayhem, but Nina and Eric are also just a gorgeous couple. Nina had spotted The Beehive in Fair Hill, Maryland and wanted to shoot there. Luckily, she found me and we met up for a quick Sunday afternoon shoot.
I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to work with. Very laid back and fun to both shoot and hang out with. Here are a couple of the shots from the day.
More from the shoot can be found here.
For the record, I love shooting at Savage Mill, Maryland. From inside the shopping area, to the nature trails, and of course the old abandoned mill buildings.
When the chance came to work with Lacey again, Savage Mill immediately popped into my mind. We met up there on a very overcast Sunday afternoon and after a little jumping, climbing, and walking through mud, a fun time was had. Oh, and we even ended up with some photos!
A few more can be found here.
This past Sunday, I was invited down to Baltimore to participate in a Model Mayhem meet and greet by some photographer friends of mine. Since most of my models, so far, have been newborns, infants, or children, I thought that this might be a nice change of pace.
After some initial technical difficulties with the lighting (as in it’s been a while since I used my flash off camera, so I overlooked one important detail), things went fantastic.
Thanks to Sean and Sarah Baker for having me down, and to all of the members over at Model Mayhem who attended that made me feel so welcome. (and of course thanks to the awesome models that took time to work with me)
Here are a few sample shots that I have sorted through so far:
