I SHOOT PEOPLE

I know it's shocking news to digest, but I shoot people too. Sure they're not as sexy as cars or as cute as dogs, and sometimes you even have to give them directions, but I try not to hold it against them.

This past Sunday I spent the day with some guys from two different flickr groups - Los Angeles and Los Angeles Strobist. We practiced shooting Strobist style with our speedlights (i.e. off camera flashes). I really prefer shooting in natural light to any kind of artificial light, so my favorite part of the day was later in the afternoon when we switched to impromptu outdoor shooting. The shots below were photographed in the small pool area of Bill's apartment building and in the long, tree lined corridor that ran between his apartment and the building next door.

This is Bill, our wonderful host and organizer for the event.



And here's Arash, Bill's younger neighbor we drafted into modeling duty. He turned out to be a fabulous subject.

BIATCH PLEASE!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get to work with actress/singer, diva-licious Jenifer Lewis. I spent the day shooting new headshots and promo shots for Jenifer at her gorgeous home in Sherman Oaks. The lady knows how to live! We were blessed by absolutely beautiful afternoon light and regaled with lots of great stories from Jenifer who's worked with an amazing range of performers from Bette Midler (she was a Harlette!) to acting opposite Meryl Streep at the Public Theater in NYC. Here's to you Jenifer - congrats on the opening day for your new movie "Meet The Browns" and an upcoming turn in Hairspray on Broadway.
