MONTANA FASHION PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER - BEAUTY PORTRAIT

A beauty portrait for a fashion model!  You can see Sarah’s inner beauty just pouring out of those baby blue eyes.  It’s an honor to work with such talented models like Sarah.  We had a lot of fun in the studio for our first shoot together, but I think our next shoot will have to be on the ski slopes.  That is, if I can hang with her Olympic level speed!  Oh, and when she’s not crushing powder, she’s crushing math books.  Yeah, so much for stereotypes, she crushes those too.  Thank you Sarah!

She was freezing, but she made it look good!  Haley is a young model/actress developing her portfolio.  She’s a hard worker!  We could only squeeze in an hour of shooting at 8AM in frigid temps, but we made the most of it.  Thanks Haley!

Tip for brides:

Using professional quality gear helps wedding pros get the job done efficiently while keeping their weddings running on time. When you hire a pro you can have peace of mind that your special day is in good hands.  That’s why brides love us!

Tip for the macro photographer:

I made this closeup with my new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens.  This is my go to lens for wedding detail photos, especially ring shots.  It’s best to shoot macro photos at a small aperture such as f/11 or f/16.  Depth of field shrinks quickly when your subject gets closer to your lens, and in macro photography your subject is about as close as it can get.  But in order to shoot at f/11 you need a lot of light.  For this photo I used one Alien Bee AB800 at ¼ power with a four-foot softbox to light the rustic box.

Tip for the wedding photographer:

On a wedding day I rarely have time to set up a studio strobe for detail photos, and that’s when I lean heavily on my gear to get the job done with natural light as quickly as possible.  This lens has image stabilization (IS) so I can shoot ring shots hand held at a slow enough shutter speed to use natural light and still shoot at f/11.  Image stabilization combined with very strong ISO performance from my camera and I can shoot wedding details in a half hour or less with all natural light.  If I need extra pop, the speedlite is always handy.
