Besides being my last day of work today, (uneventful) I got to shoot a portrait session (which I feel like I haven't done forever) for my friend Allison who needed some portraits done for this upcoming Holiday Season.
(You all should have been so smart.. its still not too late haha)
Allison and I worked together two summers ago in an extended year program for special needs toddlers. She did an awesome job today.
I started out with this pose because it was fresh in my mind...
I've decided that this is indeed a flattering angle and not
"condescending" at all.
This was shot with my new 70-200 F4
Allison is also a very talented piano player. And my flash actually did what I wanted it too!
(flash bounced off the ceiling dialed down to like 1/8 power)
A mix of natural light and ambient light makes for a good window portrait. Achieved solely because of a fast lens. Thanks to
Chris Hidey for letting me borrow his 50 1.8, mine won't get here now until the 27th.
I love the composition and lighting of this shot.
Allison and I got to hang out afterward and grab a bite to eat a
Michael's Pub (which has some really good wings)
Thank you Allison for the privilege of shooting you, you did a great job. I think this is one of my favorite shoots ever. I love that even though we only shot for about an hour and a half we got so many different looking photos.
Off to the National Cathedral tomorrow weather permitting with Chris Hidey. If anyone wants to kick it late night I'm trying to force myself to get on hawaii time now so I can hit the ground running.
cheers,

why ubx is illegal.
not to be controversial but I didn't evolve from these things.

to help show perspective
I might throw this one in my portfolio... it doesn't really show the scale of this escalator but it was huge.
pretty typical... but its good to have typical sometimes
There's nothing really to show perspective in this shot... but if you haven't been you should go. It's a bit of a hike from the metro though.
Another exterior shot.
The beauty of the place is the indoors. Another beautiful thing about it is they actually allow you to use a tripod.
I used my remote for this shot with mirror lock up. It should be extremely TAC sharp.
"excuse me sir, finish taking your shot and then you need to leave this area its prohibited."
