2 Weeks ago, I was sent to North Carolina for a Temporary Duty pertaining to my full time military Job. As soon as I found out I would be traveling to North Carolina I contacted a photographer friend that I knew in England when I was stationed there during 2004-2007. Before I knew it Martinez, 1 of the 2-Man Team of Making Shots Photography (http://www.modelmayhem.com/1339959), had worked 2 photo sessions with models from the area that I could work with at night after I got off work. One of the sessions fell through, but the one that did happen, I am so glad that he put it together for me! I met his Partner Travis Dunson, who owns a MEAN Nikon! Between him and Martinez I don't think I stopped laughing, that was seriously the hardest thing about the shoot, trying to focus and take a picture without laughing. The shoot was completely out of my element. I recently purchased my New BABY! Canon 5D Mark ii! And I didn't have a chance to mess around with it before I made the trip, so I told Martinez I wasn't going to bring it and just stick with my Canon Rebel. He insisted that I bring it anyway and I did, and I am very GLAD that I did!!!! When we started the shoot, I stuck with my Rebel because I was comfortable and knew the controls but when he seen what I was doing Martinez was not going for it! ;0) Martinez uses the Canon 5D so he was familiar with the controls and settings. He showed me how to make a few adjustments on my new Canon, let me borrow his AMAZING L-Glass, 24-70mm and let me go to WORK! Like I said before, everything about the shoot was out of my comfort zone and I loved every moment of it. For the first time I used my Canon 5D, with 2-professional photographers as my assistants, I shot outside with strobes, at night! with the beautiful and amazing model Brazyl (http://www.modelmayhem.com/847602). I hope and can't wait to work with her again! It's hard to find Models that are beautiful and have an amazing personality like she does. It makes it easier to work with and the results show that! It was at night and cold when we did this shoot and we shot for about an hour or so and there she was, in just a pair of fatigue pants and a sports bra, and NOT ONCE did she complain about being cold. She is a TROOPER! This session was strictly a result of networking. My first time actually experiencing that and it certainly proved to me how important and beneficial it is to network. NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK! Martinez, Travis, Brazyl, THANK YOU.Saturday, March 19, 2011
North Carolina Shoot (March 10, 2011)
