We had booked a photo session with a young couple for their engagement over two months ago. When you live in Florida, the weather can be different from day-to-day, and so on the day we planned to shoot it was heavily overcast and rainy. So the decision was made to shoot indoors at the location of where the wedding will be later this year, which was the Rosen Center Hotel.
This is a sample of a shoot I did in Downtown Orlando. This couple provided their own chemistry while walking around and allowing me to shoot candidly throughout the time there. It was a fun experience because they allowed me full creative authority on their pictures. What’s great about this is being able to channel in on your true photographic creativity. While I am rather familiar with the area and had some key places I knew I wanted to shoot and how, still being able to create what I wanted was refreshing.
Last weekend I went out with a few of my friends to the Ritz Carlton for the annual Festival of Speed car show. If you’re not familiar with it, think high-end expensive cars all over the back yard of a hotel. Sprinkle in some concepts, classic Chevrolet’s and Fords, and a few bikes and a few tall models and you’ve got a pretty interesting afternoon. Take a look at some of the shots below and see for yourself.
In April I attended the Photoshop World Expo here in Orlando, FL in April. There were so many people in attendance it was crazy. I ran into a few people I knew locally, but met a whole bunch more from all around the US. This was my first time ever attending a Photoshop World Expo, so I was like a kid in a candy store.
For those of you who have never attended the full expo, here’s what goes down. It is a few days of full day workshops led by some well-known industry leaders in photography and Photoshop. The last two days is the expo part, and that is where all the vendors are, real demos from experts, speakers, and even some hands on experiences from various software manufacturers.
Getting to see the vendors actually using some of the famed software like Photoshop CS6 or Perfect Photo Suite 7 was pretty cool. I ended up buying some software right on the spot convinced I’ll be able to replicate the effects they showed that day.
One of the apparent fan favorites is the free model shoot you can just walk up to and shoot with whatever camera you happen to bring with you that day. This theme was of a young blonde dressed in a nice aviator outfit accompanied with an aviation background. There were two constant light setups to both sides of her.
There was yet another car show here in Orlando a week ago. This was from the car enthusiast organization of Festival of Speed and personally I thank them for continuing this road show of high-class, high price cars from local owners and enthusiasts. I took advantage of a Living Social deal and packed my Nikon and got shooting. Below are some of the photos.
