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.

It doesn't take long to feel right at home in the Pacific town of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico.  The warmth of the sun reflects not only off the ocean and surrounding coastline, but also through the welcome extended by the residents of Puerto Vallarta.  A town with artists, restaurants, boutiques, and nightclubs, the welcome extends from sunrise to sunsets, wit probably one of the most fascinating sunsets I have seen.  While staying in one of the historic hotels in the middle of old town or relaxing on one of the many sandy beaches, I feel the need to capture these magical moments.  The photo traveler may capture the beauty, the excitement, the solitude, the relaxation available with just a early morning stroll through Puerto Vallarta, just as I did.
