"Just Relaxing During The Shoot"

Just Relaxing During The Shoot "Just Relaxing During The Shoot"

This image was made right after I got my brand new Canon 20D a little over 5 years ago. In fact, this is one of the first images I made with the camera. I love the relaxed feel of the bride apparently just waiting for the next shot. This was that "next" shot. People hate "posed" photographs, at least when they look posed. My goal is to always have the subject looking their best and completely at ease in these kind of shots. The beautiful surrounds sure adds to the wonderful composition of this shot, too. Camera specs; Canon 20D fitted with 17-85mm IS lens (the only lens I owned at the time), F5.6 @ 1/60 second - hand-held, ISO 400, JPEG mode. Light from camera left through a shoot through umbrella. Enjoy! -David

Photographer in the rain - Saturday

Had to photograph a 21st on Saturday. The weather wasn't the greatest, but my wife took this quick shot of me :-)


Was a 60's themed party, this is a very poor impression of James Dean :-)

My son

This was a photo taken of my son, no cleaning of face or anything done before hand. Old sheet used for a backdrop and had to force him to sit 'quickly' so that I could shoot a few really quick photos.

He doesn't doesn't have much patience which I think he gets from me. No post processing, straight out. I love the eyes and the expression.
