This is a second sneak preview of the 10 women I photographed at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the We Rise organization that will be featured in the One Of Many photography exhibition at the KD Neeley Gallery on October 05, 2018. I will be one of five photographers featured at the event which you can find out more info about at this Facebook event page. The photo above is my personal favorite from the shoot. I chose a tight crop to really focus in on the emotion in the eyes. Shooting with my new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro SP lens allowed me to focus very closely and get extreme detail. Be sure and mark your calendars for the evening of October 5th to come out and support this cause and see these images as large prints.
A very special photoshoot for We Rise & One Of Many
A recent Saturday was spent photographing ten women here at the JCP Home Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for an upcoming social awareness fundraising event on October 5, 2018 at the KD Neeley Gallery. The organization is called We Rise and this particular photo shoot was for a photo exhibition called One Of Many. Find out more information on the Facebook event page. This is a sneak preview with one of the women from that day. Between now and the event I will be posting more sneak previews. The theme of the photo shoot was to focus tightly on the eyes, which were done by a make-up artist. I used my brand new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro SP lens to capture the emotion in the eye and the detail in the make-up along with a clamshell / beauty dish lighting setup.
Clients themselves in make-up to appear doll-like for their own business' Halloween flyer.
I made this image for the people in the image. They are the owners of RAW VIBES, whose grand opening was just a few days ago. This time they wanted me to produce an image they could use in one of their flyers to promote their Halloween event. La La (on right) really likes kind of gothic dolls. She showed me some images of them before the shoot, so that was the look we went for in the shot, as best we could. I think she had a real talent for posing with a very doll-like expression on her face.
This is the setup I used for making this shot:
Nikon D300 on tripod with built-in flash on in commander mode
Tamron XR Di II 17-50mm f/2.8 lens @ f/5.6 & focal length 17mm
Nikon SB-600 Speedlight hand held by me directly over my head pointing down at the models
