Cara Young, Washed Out, Sexy

Just playing with the light a little bit here. Didn’t want to use any reflectors here. Just used the natural light and the wide open apeture of the 300 MM lens to get the very soft background.

Not something that I’d take the time to do in the studio, but very easy outside. And the results are exactly what I needed for the shot.

I Am Nikki Donley

Nikki is one of the first models that I shot using the 300 MM Canon Lens. Needless to say, I was quite happy with the results. So happy, that I’m now shooting most of my headshots with this lens.

Shooting with the 300MM requires a lot of extra “umph”, but the results are worth it.

Singer In The Sand

Cara Young is the lead singer of a Dallas-based band called Inner Frequency. This shot was taken under the highway in Lewisville, TX. I wanted to shoot in the desert, but travel was out of the question.

The road crews had mountains of sand that they’d dumpped there, so we used it as our back drop.
