PhotoWalk:MI Garden

Keeping this one short and to the point. Photowalk MI had a walk that was in the Botanical Garden in Taylor. It was to practice any lighting style with speedlights or reflectors. I choose to do a lil of both. Only this time round I played the assistance role more than the photographer. as we had those who needed help understanding their equipment. 

Travel - City of Angels

Before the Camera Artist Summit mentioned in the last blog, I took a quick trip to Los Angeles to visit my brother and his wife and son. They were out there for a few months and I needed a reason to get away for a while. 

While there, I spent most of the time just chilling with them. We did drive around Hollywood and walked Venice Beach. During that walk, I decided to do an impromptu photoshoot. Even though I left most of my equipment back at the hotel. To visit my brother, I was also trying to plan a shoot with some of the local models in the LA area. That was a failure, but I'm not going to give up on my goal. Back to the business at hand, With the equipment I had was one body (D7100) and one lens (18-70) and the sun as my only source of light. 

Assistance on Hand....

This post is long over due. Back during the summer I was helping out fellow photog Dedan Blackmon with a shoot Downtown with his model Te'Asia. We shoot along the boat docks along Chene Park and Dequindre Cut. All of this was before helping out on another shoot with Alex for international singer Nina Bradlin. This was also the same day when I met the inline skater Chyna as well. As this a short one here are a few pics from the shoot. Check out Dedan's photography page on Facebook.
