Extreme Honesty

Over the past few years I’ve come across some seriously fantastic portrait photography. For a while I tried to figure out how to create the “epic face” look. This look is one of extreme honesty. No detail of the face goes undiscovered. Every little wrinkle, sunspot, hair and even pore is brought to the viewer. Back then I thought it took several steps in Photoshop and a couple hours per edit. After accidentally stumbling upon some things, I discovered a relatively simple way to make highly dynamic portraits. These shots give a sense of deep emotion. They portray an image of a long life, full of experience and ready to tell a story.
I know I said the last post was one of my favorites, but this one is pretty high up there too.
Note to photographers: I don’t use Photoshop often. Rarely in fact. If you’re not using Lightroom, you’re doing it wrong.

This past weekend I was running around all over town and had my camera with me most of the time. I went to Ft De Soto beach to scout out a location for a future shoot (which will be pretty awesome) and stumbled across a couple interesting shots.
Later that day I went to my friend’s parents house who live on a lake. My intent was to do some astrophotography, but there was just too much light in the sky. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to photograph the Milky Way. I ended up just taking a couple shots of the lake and even did some light drawing. It was nothing too complex, but was still kinda fun.
On the way home after that I stopped and did yet another long traffic exposure. Nothing new but I enjoy doing long exposures of traffic at night. Also, the first shot is a portrait I did of a friend a couple months ago which turned out nicely.
The Brothers

Ever since I bought my lighting setup, I’ve tended to leave them in my car trunk. The reason for this is because I’m never really sure when I’ll need good lighting. An example of this was recently when hanging out at a friends house. His brother was there and we decided to put the new camera to use. This shoot, like all others I guess, has some interesting aspects. These brothers have, in ways, opposite professions. One is trained to kill, and the other trained to heal. I’ll let you guess which is which.
Also this is the first time I’ve posted completely unedited photos. These are straight from the camera. Enjoy.
A New Day

It’s a new day for me and this site as a whole. For a while I’ve been denying myself a better camera because I wanted to avoid thinking I could create better images just by upgrading my gear. Until recently I believed I hadn’t reached the limit of the camera I was using. Finally I decided to pull the trigger on the Nikon D7000. It’s going to be interesting to see how I can push this new camera. I went out this evening to a parking garage I’ve been looking at for a while to capture a great Florida sunset. If you like my work, hopefully you’ll like this new stuff even more.
My Desk

As boring as the title of this blog is, it fits in with the boring nature of my desk. It’s a somewhat plain desk and functions mostly as a workplace. It has walls that form a cubicle and sits in a hall with others of its kind. There’s really nothing special about it. One day a fellow tie-wearing colleague brought in his Canon Eos 60D. I took it for a spin around my desk and this is the result. Oh and if you’re curious, the bobblehead is of Andrew W.K. who, no matter how the day is going, reminds me to party.
If you find an image you like in this series, let me know. It’s sort of difficult for me to know how others view my work, but I enjoy a couple of these shots for reasons I don’t understand.
