PHOTOSHOOT: ROSALYN
In late December Rosalyn commented that she liked one of my photos on Model Mayhem. After reviewing her portfolio, I replied that I would like to work with her on creating some really compelling portraits. Rosalyn has great facial features with a wonderful neckline and shoulders. I envisioned using bikini strap dresses and tops along [...]
NEW 110 Magazine Out This Week!
This week will mark my second issue as 110 Magazine’s Chief Contributing Photographer. Though I got good feedback, I was not happy with the January issue at all. My images were not technically good, they lacked impact and were not on par with my peers at Diablo and San Francisco. So I vowed to raise [...]
Marie Elise
The day after Christmas while most of the planet was returning their broken electronics and holiday sweaters or redeeming a wallet full of gift cards I was searching Model Mayhem to schedule 2010 shoots. A lot of portfolios grabbed my eye but one in particular caught my attention. I write on my Mayhem page that [...]
Elease Williams
I found Elease on Model Mayhem. Her pictures were quite a hodge podge of images that lacked any real focus. Most disturbing was the fact that the images were typecasting her as a potential “men’s magazine” model though she lacked the ‘attributes’ that would make her a star in that industry. Conversely, Elease has the [...]
110 Magazine Bridal Shoot
The theme of the February 2010 issue of 110 Magazine is Romance. I was assigned to take photos of a few wedding dresses in the fitting area of His and Hers Formal Wear in Brentwood, CA. As I researched the boutique I saw that almost all previous stories on the vendor featured the same images [...]
Model: Katrina
While photographing LA Boxing in Brentwood for a 110 Magazine feature story one member of their staff really took to the camera. In image after image it was apparent that Katrina was a natural. When I asked her how long she has modeled, she laughed and said that though she was a NOS Girl she [...]
Seniors: Masia
Waking to a typical cloudless Northern California morning… my heart dropped. Today’s photos would have blank lifeless skies versus dramatic cloud filled ones. Oh well, the show must go on. I picked up Masia from her home and as we backed out of her driveway a storm front started moving in filling the sky with [...]
Attraction
Shot in the early evening, there was not enough light in the house to go natural and wide open. So after playing with lamps, the overhead spot light seemed to the best option. Using a Canon 5D Mark II with an L-series 70-200mm lens, I move the female subject so that the ceiling spot would [...]
Green Eye Close-Up
Green Eye Close-Up Originally uploaded by David ‘Art’ Wooten (twitter: Kandidz) I am really hooked on audio books and podcasts. I buy books and intend to read them but life gets in the way. Whereas with audio I can read while I am on the move. One of my current favs is Lens Flare 35 [...]
