Angela’s Photo Shoot

My favorite photography buddy Nick Amrhein and I had a blast today shooting his friend Angela, who’s from Ohio and visiting Los Angeles for the first time. Nick and I had a field day with Angela first at Walt Disney Concert Hall and then later in the evening at the Metrorail station in North Hollywood. I seriously can’t remember the last time I had this much fun doing photography! Today’s outing was the first time I got to do a photo shoot with another photographer, and one I’m very fortunate to have met about three months ago.

Angela was a real sport with us today, willing to try whatever poses we threw out at her…in high heels! So major props to her for that. If you read this, I hope you like the photos and your stay here :). Regarding Nick, he recently moved to LA and is starting his fashion photography business; besides taking photos of Angela today, I observed how Nick interacted with her and in the process learned a ton by doing that. Nick has a knack for being creative and going that extra step to get an amazing shot, qualities I totally dig. He also knows how to make the subject feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

In addition to the photos I took of Angela, I also posted below some behind-the-scenes shots of Nick doing his thing. I’ll put a link to Nick’s shots of her once he puts them up online. We’re going to try and shoot every chance we get, so look for lots more photos from us two in the near future!

 

Here are some behind-the-scenes shots of my man Nick working his magic with Angela:

    Sounds like Nick is a true professional; making the subject feel comfortable and going the extra mile by lying on his stomach like that to get the best shot…..
    Angela looks like a model!!!

Kelley’s Photo Shoot

These go out to my Clippers Spirit buddy Kelley :). We walked around various parts of Downtown Los Angeles yesterday getting these photos, going from restaurant tables and parking lots to construction zones and alleyways. We ended the awesome, awesome day shooting at an exclusive beach ;). I think the highlight of the entire shoot was a bunch of construction workers wanting to take a photo with me, or at least I think that’s why they kept hollering at us; oh, that and Kelley buying me some tacos. Classic!

We were fortunate enough to dodge the rain during the entire shoot. It’s been raining pretty hard (for LA standards) the past week. Kelley and I had set on this date ages ago so it would’ve been a huge disappointment had it continued to rain through yesterday. But knowing Kelley’s determination and my love for photography, we probably would’ve done the shoot even if it did rain. However, my camera equipment and her hair might’ve taken exceptions to that idea.

For those of you that don’t know Kelley, I hope you get a glimpse of her wonderful personality through these photos. My favorites are the ones of her smiling because that special smile will cheer up any sad heart. Kelley, thanks for letting me photograph you. See you on Staples Center court!

    I came across your photos on Flipit. Very nice shots of Kelly.   How did you light Kelly in the restaurant? Used any studio strobes?  Please email me if you don´t mind answering my questions.
