Chelsea Tadros | LA Shoot This | Snow Creek Park

This is the 3rd and last part of the LA Shoot This event. It’s getting dark and the sun is setting quick. We have to work quick to get a few shots in before it’s all dark. We had Greg Bumatay in this group, giving guidance to the group on what we should look out for and how we should be composition the image. Greg was really helpful, he walked around and check on the results we got on the camera, and gave us advises on what could be done better. What’s better than having immediate feedback? Thanks Greg. Here we have Chelsea Tadros as the model, she probably was really confused with all the shout outs “Chelsea, look here”, “Chelsea, look at me”, “Chelsea, look to your right”, “Chelsea, look to your left”. Everyone wants her to do something different, and with 15+ of us shooting at the same time, you know what’s going to happen.

Amanda Goraleski + Rio Wilhelmi | LA Shoot This | Snow Creek Park

This is the 2nd part of the LA Shoot This event at the Snow Creek Park. In this group, we have Chris Diset to show us the Lumodi Beauty Dish. The Lumodi soften the light from the flashes and gives it a very natural look, it will definitely be something that I will get in future. Chris also showed us an amazing location across the street from the park, a wet and nasty tunnel. Thanks to our hot couple, Amanda Goraleski and Rio Wihelmi, they didn’t mind the crazy idea in shooting in the tunnel and they did a lot more than what we could ask for. The set is steaming with all those sexy poses, and I got out with spider web all over my head and clothes, but its well worth it.

Mera Zero | LA Shoot This | Snow Creek Park

Last Sunday I went to Snow Creek Park to attend the LA Shoot This event with the FSF First Shots Fired crew and Nevin. We got to learn from amazing speakers like Greg Bumatay on composition and Kerry Garrison on wireless flashes.

A very special thank you to the event sponsor Canvas on Demand and organizer Joelle Leder for making this event happen.

I got to shoot 3 different groups of awesome models, so I will be doing a feature for each in the next couple days. Stay tuned.

First up: Mera Zero

I can’t resist myself shooting a closeup of Mera’s amazing blue eyes.

These following 2 images are part of the story telling series that Greg wanted us to perceive that Mera is looking for her lost dog.

Claudia + Jesse | Engagement at Balboa Island Newport Beach

I’ve been looking forward to this session for awhile, as we kept postponing this due to weather, scheduling conflicts and whatnot. It was a blast shooting Claudia and Jesse that we lose track of time and we ended up shooting for 4+ hours before we got hungry and headed for dinner in Laguna Beach. We took a spin around the Balboa Island, got to go on the private docks, trespassing nice homes and hang out for a bit in the Balboa Fun Zone. It was a lot of fun. These two are got married last year, and will be having their reception this year. We might so a few more on the beach, so look out much more of them soon.

Big thanks to my friend Nevin for coming along and helping out! Good times.
