Oh my.. is this another blog.. I'm on a roll ;) Yesterday I had the honor to shoot with some of the coolest clients.. Casey and Ryan. We added a lil bit of Maker's Mark to the shoot for some added goodness. We shot in Casey grandparents home on the water and let me say, this place was a treasure.. Here's one shot from yesterday that I love, but I'm just not sure if I love it in color of BW.. Help me choose.

Cheers

The B&W for sure! Love the low light, Reminds me of an old time photo at like a tavern or something. Awesome

Definitely the B&W. The dark, low contrast processing totally works for this shot.

I love this couple.. Ben and I have a great history. When I was a youth pastor he was on my team that was made up of some serious world changers. Such a great time of my life back in those days.. but now what's even cooler is that we are at it again at a different church down south :) Ben has an incredible calling on his life and he has found one incredible woman. All I can say is watch out. We got to go out and play for a bit and we came up with a very simple feel for their shoot, but what's coming in a few months will blow your mind.. We are going to get crazy with their creative shoot... just wait.

Anyways here's a quicky of our recent shoot..

Which do you prefer?
Posted on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 at 10:14 AM By clint in fashion , photography
Yesterday I had a great shoot with Brandi and Kelly of mucho bueno. We came up with an idea to showcase some of their jewelry with the help of Ginny (our model for the day and a talented make-up artist as well) There was one particular shot I really wanted to get and then work around that concept for the rest of the shots.. I loved what we got. I mostly shot with the natural light, but in a couple of the shots I blasted Ginny with a hot flash right at her face ;) Below is one frame shot with the hot flash and then natural light.. 

The image on the left was shot at: [NO RETOUCHING]
[ISO 1600] [F2.8] [1/60TH] [WB SET TO DAYLIGHT]

The image on the right was shot at: [PUT A FADE OVER THE IMAGE IN POST]
[ISO 320] [F8] [1/200TH] [WB SET TO AUTO]

So my question to you is which one do you prefer?? Tell me what you like and don't like about the images.. I can't wait to hear back from you..

ginny_sidebyside_1.jpgI'll be posting the rest of this session in a couple of days.. 

Cheers

Clint

Left, I like back lit - more natural, less fake.

I'm a sucker for blow out... the right one

#1/Left for sure. I initially was drawn to the image on the right. (like how the blacks are lifted and it's slightly overexposed) but something about the image on the left feels much more organic and real. I'd imagine the image on the left in an urban outfitters catalogue. i do like the framing and composition of the image on the right better though.

all that said - i think the image on the left is more flattering to her facial features and body structure...and therefore makes a more appealing photo. the backlight makes her and the antlers pop too.

woot

initially I liked the one on the left, but the one on the right seems somehow more of the now.

I prefer the one on the right... looks like something Terry Richardson would shoot ;-) ...and I mean that as a compliment.

I like back lit. I'm curious what that one would have looked like with a *little* fill flash...

Also, I'm with D-Dub -- I'd like to see the left image with a little exposure adjustment and the same fade action you used on the right-hand photo.

And, yes, her stance/face is better in the right-hand one...

Danny said:

I like the left one more just brighten the exposure (in my opinion) and the left will rock.

 (04. 5.11 @ 11:23AM)
Jaclyn said:

# 2 for sure!! Has a more high fashion feel to it. But, she also has a better stance and face in #2 which really makes it that much better.

Rog said:

The left one calls to me as far as compensation and distance from the subject, but the style and light of the right is my fav.

#2 with out a doubt.

Mia Bridal Craziness...
Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 10:26 PM By clint in news
Hey everyone.. I know, I know it's been a while. Some good friends have let me know that I need to get back on track with my blog, so when I heard from Emily over at Mia Bridal Couture that she was going to be throwing a crazy sample sale on some of the most amazing wedding gowns in town I had to do a quick post about it.. So below is the deets from Emily  to the craziness. And let me tell you. If you or someone you know is in the market for an amazing gown GO THIS WEEKEND TO MIA BRIDAL...  You won't regret it. They are some of the best in the biz..

(just so you know, I copied and pasted ;)

There are only FOUR more days until Mia's monumental Sunday Sample Sale on April 3rd.  So in the spirit here are our Top Ten Tips for finding the perfect Sample Sale Dress:

  1. Arrive Early - There are no appointments, so to get the best, you need to be thefirst.
  2. Do Your Homework - Know what type of silhouette looks best on your body.  No need to waste your time with trumpet styles if a-line silhouettes flatter your figure best.
  3. Recognize a Steal - Make a mental note of the designer's usual prices so you can spot super savings.  A Kenneth Pool ball gown adorned with Swarovski stones for $2,000?  Yes please!
  4. Limit Your Entourage - Bring one, most trusted friend or family member.  You need to be confident in your decision, not confused by other people's opinions. It's about what you want! 
  5. Be Selective - You will only be able to pull 5 gowns at a time and will have 30 minutes in the dressing room.
  6. Stay Open to Possibilities - There are so many possibilities in alterations.  Hate the straight across neckline?  Have it changed to sweetheart!  Need something with no train?  Take the extra length off with your hem.
  7. Don't be Afraid of Too Big - Most couture gowns are alterations friendly and can be taken in several sizes to make it perfect for you.
  8. Review Your Selection - As samples, the gowns will be have some shop wear.  Understanding the cleaning and alteration options will make you comfortable with your purchase.
  9. Come Ready To Commit - There are no hold or layaway options, so come ready to purchase the gown before another bride spots it.
  10. Get Excited - Weddings are expensive.  So saving thousands of dollars on your dream dress could also mean there is room in the budget for your dream flowers, or cake, or shoes!  The possibilities are endless!

See you at the Sample Sale, Sunday April 3rd!

And what's a blog post without some pics.. If you never been to Mia Bridal, here's a look into there amazing space over in River Oaks..

I hope you enjoy the event..

Cheers
