Aloha Wellness Center Headshots

I've started a little project shooting headshots for some local small businesses. They great people over at Aloha Wellness Center in Boulder were kind enough to let me take over their lunch hour and shoot them.

We had a great time and I like how the photos turned out. If you know of a small business that needs to update the photos on their website or social media let me know.

Headshots with Lauren

I recently shot some headshots for a friend who wanted some new profile picks for the web. Having a nice looking avatar photo in the social media world can separate you from the crowd as a real professional. Nothing makes you look suspect and hard to take series like a profile pic from your phone in the mirror or the infamous at arms length shot. Two of any photographers pet peeves.

  Lauren came over with several outfits and Athena helped with hair and makeup. She now has several different looks to get her through the next year by changing up her profile photos and keeping it looking professional.

Holiday Party Dress up

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far. Saturday was my company's holiday party. So before Athena & I headed out I had to take some pics of us all dressed up.



I set up my white seamless paper in our living room as the background. I put the camera on a tripod with a timer to shoot us. Then got out the Alien Bees. One is in a 5 foot octabox as the main light and the other Bee is in a 1 foot x 5 foot stripbox for a side light. I used my PocketWizards to trigger the lights.



Then I'd push the button and run over and it was up to us to do something in front of the camera till it clicked. We had an absolute great time doing this. Athena wanted to stay and do more but I thought we should get to the party. (I can always set it up again).



David Hobby over at Strobist wrote up a blog about this app Strobox. So I thought I'd try it out. Here's the lighting diagram on how I had the setup. All this was in my living room.(wow!)
