hi all, a session with alec musser in oceanside ca.  shot on the roof of 1010 which was kinda fun.

here in Baltimore md shooting some fitness images.  for what we were looking for, Baltimore is great for backdrops.  have a nice run down feel with some cool urban scapes.  fortunately i had my brother andrew reilly producing the shoot and he knows all the great places to shoot in Baltimore.  thanks to mark for the modeling.

on the technical side, these are all shot with very light weight speedlights.  the lighting kit we have is not very portable so the fast set up and breakdown of the speedlights work pretty well.  for the most part all of the shooting was in pretty deep shade so it made it pretty easy for the speedlights to over power the ambient light.

pretty pleased with these portraits.  thanks to nicole from jet set and lisa for some great makeup as always.  thanks to jules for helping produce.

be sure to see the behind the scenes of the session, video below, thanks!

a weekend personal project.  one of them is my son who never likes his photo taken i only got one frame off, good thing it was decent one! 

a big shout out to sara, jacob and ryan at sony online entertainment for some fast portrait help.  11 portraits in about 40 mins.  no problem!  i think the trick is making them consistent in look but also getting a few unique original images per subject as well. 

here are just a few, thanks to all for giving me your time to shoot, thanks.

still at it!  i love the challenge of finding subjects.  nothing like tossing the camera in the front seat with some motivation and inspiration to get some portraits.  sorta like a subject hunt.  i have also been testing out my good friend doug boutwells totally rad actions on this set of images.  pretty nice stuff!

portraits of john daniels of oceanside. talk about a fast session.  they always are on the way to the water. 

this was also my first session with my new/used canon 1dsm2, which has been a blast to shoot.  The color is great, the camera is fast and responsive and it feels good to be shooting a 1d body again.  the resolution also have been a perk with stock, i would rather do less up-rezing. really have been scaling back on the gadgets and keeping is a bit more simple and lightweight.  less bags, less lenses, less hassle.

have not shot the boys in a while, so here they are...somewhat of a recent shot. within a few weeks.  in order to shoot them i just need to work them into the stock production schedule, is that bad?  well, anyway, kieran is now 4 and half and brooks is 2 and half.

a quick session with hailey of raw skin.  session was for a new cast of sponsor for hailey.




and while in oceanside, why not people-watch, and snag a shot or two...

the second of a few more session with jet set.  thanks to noah, kayslee and steph for a fun session.
