Caroline Diep of Ford Models came in to the studio today for some new beauty shots. I’ve worked with Caroline a bunch of times before and it was great to work with her again. Diane did some amazing work with Caroline’s makeup and hair. I also had Angie from yesterday’s class there to assist. It was a good day all around.

We had a great time in our Studio Lighting 101 workshop yesterday. We had a great group of students. During the workshop I took some snapshots using my iPhone just for fun. Here’s a low resolution look at some of the fun.
The first lighting setup of the day. This was a basic 3 light setup with a two lights added to give the background a bit more light. We mixed our Profoto equipment (foreground) with our student’s equipment (background lights) to illustrate how to mix and match lights. Our model, Amanda JoLynn, sits patiently while we discuss the different options.
Another shot of Amanda, this time from the reverse angle.
Students Johanna and Praveen makes some adjustments to the lights for one of the setups.
Students shooting Amanda. Praveen, Johanna, Dave and Hartono are shown. I think those are Angie’s hands just to the right. The white blob is our studio dog Luka.
Diane gives some pointers to the students. Left to right; Angie, Stacy, Dave, Praveen and Diane.

Angie saying, “WOW! I love the ring flash!!” Amanda smiles in agreement (every model loves the ring flash) and Johanna agrees in the background.
Dave getting in on the ring flash fun. It’s just too good to pass up!

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Thanks to such a great group of students. We’ll be adding more workshops in 2008. We’re working on the schedule and will be posting it soon. I hope to see a lot of new faces in the coming new year.
We’ve been getting a lot of e-mail this week from former students and family of former students asking us to help them out with Christmas shopping. I’m going to put together a list soon but I’ll start out by listing a few books that are my favorites.
Sandy came into the studio again today. I tried out a new lighting setup and really liked the results. I haven’t gone through all the images yet but here’s a first look at one of the shots I liked from the session. Diane did all of the hair and makeup.

A brand new model, Sandy, came into the studio today. This was her first time in a studio and her first photoshoot ever. We had a lot of fun getting to know her. She did a terrific job and we’re looking forward to many more shoots in the future.
