This was my first attempt at photographing models and makeup. I didn’t know much about the chosen location or how to light it. My wife and I brought along a couple hot shoe flashes and big reflecting umbrellas. We decided to coordinate the background with the outfits and makeup colors. We tried to make the lighting to appear to be bright and futuristic, without blowing out the makeup.
Inspiration immediately caught fire as I was led to this location. My first experiments in photographic arts were on landscapes such as these throughout the city of Philadelphia. All of these images are straight out of the camera. The saturation, exposure, and sharpness were all done on the fly and left as is.
Thanks, Victoria for a far out fashion shoot!

My wife has a massive collection of barely worn clothing, shoes, and accessories from decades past. Some pieces are for sale, while others are reserved for models’ portfolio images and brides, fiancés, and whoever wants help dressing up for glamorous photo gifts for their loved ones.
These are the very first shots I took of a model and clothing products. The temperature was at an extreme low and the wind was probably the worst ever. It goes without saying, it was a learning experience. Thanks to our model Laura Iglesias for being the frigid weather. She is a true professional. The product shots were done with a point and shoot camera. I found it much easier to set up than my clunky DLSR. Surprisingly, point and shoot cameras have great optics for macro photography.
I was curious to see how our model looked walking away as the wind blew her blue gown.
Here she is again modleing a classic little black dress.
The shoes she was wearing were for sale. My wife said these things are pretty old but I couldn't find any signs that they were ever walked in.
While this lady above has much modeling experience and training, the lady below had never tried modeling before she put on this green dress. She was a super sport, so I did her the favor of glamorizing her face a little bit.
Erased a few freckles, sprayed on a tad of tan, and dropped in some contacts to match her attire- Now she's ready to hit the catwalk.
These shoes are pretty cool. I like the snake skin detail.
