Jordan - Lounging
Flashing it back to April 14, 2023 for this elegant lounging lifestyle shoot with Jordan. I wanted to create a distinct, separated look using a cool background tone on the grey canvas.
Here's the setup:
Separation/Background: Godox AD200 with a 7-inch reflector, blue gel, and barndoors.
Key Light: Godox AD600 on a 25-inch Glow beauty dish.
I shot this on my Canon EOS R with the sharp RF50mm f/1.8 lens. Camera Settings: f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO 100.
Tamahtzi - Gold Elegance
Kicking off my 53rd season of life with a glamorous studio set featuring the amazing Tamahtzi, (8-26-25)! I had the pleasure of meeting her at a fashion show in March and knew her elegant look would be perfect for this kind of set.
For this set, I used a 4-light setup:
Key: Godox AD600 on a 42-inch Glow beauty dish
Fill: Godox AD200 on a 25-inch Glow beauty dish
Backlights: Two Godox MS300Vs with strip boxes
Camera Settings: f/9, 1/125 sec, ISO 100 on my Canon EOS R5 with an RF24-105 f4 lens.
Daisie - Fishnet Stockings
05-07-25, I had a shoot with Daisie, where she wanted to express her emotional side. We worked together to create a series of images that beautifully blend vulnerability with a sense of quiet sensuality. I think she did an incredible job of conveying that emotion, and I’m honored to have captured it.
For this session, I used a Canon R5 with the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. To shape the light, my main light was a Godox AD600 inside a Glow Deep Parabolic modifier, with a Godox AD200 in a 25-inch Glow beauty dish for fill. My Camera settings: f/8, 1/400 sec, ISO 100.
Stacey - Victorian
On March 3rd of 2025, Stacey and I got together to capture a few sets to build up her portfolio. For this set we went with a Saloon styled outfit, with corset bustier, ruffled skirt and boots to match. I added some red leaf trees for a prop to go with her red corset. I paired my Canon R5 with my RF70-200mm F2.8 to capture these images as well as my Godox AD600 with a 37" Glow Deep Parabolic modifier. My settings were f3.2 1/100s and ISO 125.
Railey - Black Stockings
Talk about turning a 'bad luck' day into pure gold! These images of Railey, shot on Friday, June 13th, 2025, are easily my favorite set of the year so far – and I've had some really strong ones waiting to be posted. We absolutely crushed it, capturing so many incredible moments that choosing what to edit was the hardest part. My gear for this session was the Canon R5 paired with the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. For lighting, I used the Glow EZ Lock 42" softbox with my Godox AD600 as the key, and the 25" softbox with my AD200 for fill.
Summer - Low Key
Summer and I got together in March on the 23rd to create these low key images. Her fit little body created perfect curve that were highlighted by the lights. The first part of this set I used two Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in strip boxes with honeycombs to light her up. Then I used one Godox SK400II with a snoot to light her up and cast a shadow behind her on the others. I used my Canon EOS R mirrorless camera with my 35MM Sigma Art lens, set at ISO 200, f5.6, 1/125 sec.
