Warehouse photo fun

A recent assignment for a global electronics distributor included some shots in their huge warehouse. I accomplished this shot with a single Nikon SB-800 strobe. It was "mounted" on a voice activated stand behind the shelves to camera right, aimed at the lift operator. I dragged the shutter in aperture priority @ 1/8 sec. f 5 for the overall exposure.

Annual report group shot

I'm working on the annual report for Western & Southern Financial again this year.

It's always a challenge to make group shots interesting, at least for me.

Starting the shoot early this year gave us the opportunity to shoot some of these groups outdoors. This one was shot on the steps of their HQ. I used my small strobes kit. One light high up on camera right just skimming the column and another strobe placed on a floor stand behind the men aimed at the wall.

Mobile Heath Unit

I was assigned to do a shoot for Onsite Health, a company that dispatches mobile units to many points in the country. My assignment was to cover health screenings for senior citizens. The unit features three exam rooms. I used my compact strobe kit ( Nikon SB800 and Sunpak 5500 units ) . The narrow hallway and small exam rooms would have made using standard mono-lights very difficult to position, not to mention the safety of those aboard. I attached a SB800 to a 6 ft. light stand bouncing the light off the white ceilings. This created nice soft wraparound light.

This single light also made the experience for the patients less of an intrusion into their privacy.

Contractor

I shot Anthony , a contractor & VP for a concrete company , for a trade publication.

Luckily, a rainy morning turned into a glorious afternoon !

All I needed was some fill flash from camera right, one Nikon SB 800 on full power.

New promo piece

This is my latest promo piece.
It uses my new websites home page bridge image.
This has become my "brand" image. All of my printed material including invoices, estimates, business cards, and statements now carry this image.
I have also created pdf documents that can be downloaded from my site. One has general information on my work the other gives studio info.

Number Nine ... Number nine

Why are photographers drawn to shooting windows ?
I was drawn in by the texture of the wall and the cracks running up.

P & G campus

I was in downtown Cincinnati near Proctor and Gamble's HQ shooting some executive portraits.
When I finished up , the morning clouds gave way to a great day, so I took a stroll with just my 18-70 on the D300.
This image is shot from under the arbor covered walkway on the P&G campus. They have super grounds keepers !
