A Sharp Photo at Studio 40 East

Last week I got to shoot at a new studio in Ocala, FL; Studio 40 East.  They had a 'Shootout' event.  The purpose of these is to generate publicity and interest for the studio and to allow local photographers and models to network.  It was pretty intimate, 7 photographers and 7 models and there was plenty of room to shoot.

I had a blast!  The studio has a room with different colored backdrops, a boudoir/bedroom set and the sales room is a great setting for shooting as well.  There is a hair and makeup room and a variety of strobes and modifiers.  Even the area outside of the studio is great for shooting.  Daniel Bray and Jennifer Lazos (the owners) were helpful, kind and knowledgeable. 

Not having a studio can sometimes be a stumbling block for new photographers, especially if you do racier work.  Its great to have a place like this in my backyard.  I look forward to doing more work at this swanky joint :).

A Change of Heart

So, for quite some time I'd been saying that I had no interest in photographing weddings.  I felt that they were too much work and I didn't know if I was up to the challenge.  Last month I photographed a small wedding for a friend in Orlando and I love it!  Because I was just doing a favor for a friend, I didn't fully equip like I normally would but things went really well.  I discovered (decided) that the pace of weddings isn't what scares me; its the potential to miss great moments that bothers me.  You have to know everything that's going on and be hyper-aware and that's before you get things technically correct with your camera.  But, all things considered, I actually enjoy doing weddings and I look forward to doing more.
