A couple more of Nathan with his hat. Wendy thinks he looks like a little old time paper boy in these. One has to admit he captures your heart with sweet innocence. All images were shot with Nikon D3, 24-70 mm lens. In studio set up with four strobes.

Nathan Daniel Muth, 8 mos













Today we did a photo session with my grandson. Nathan wore his Christmas outfit. He was adorable. I used a green screen for a background so I could change it to what ever I wanted later. Nathan was very cooperative an I got some great expressions. Here are a few from his session that I really liked. Click on images to enlarge.

Happy Halloween


Today is the last day of the month and that means it is Halloween. The spookiest scariest day of the year. The Portrait Gallery and its staff hope you have a fun, happy and safe day. Enjoy!

Trying out a new background today. I went to home depot and picked up this material used for vents. It is light weight plastic and has a cool texture. I used two speedlights with colored gels to light it. I like the way the light reflects off the texture and with a little experimenting this will be a good high school senior background.

In keeping with our Halloween themes this week and inspired by the Adams Family. I re created " Thing ". I shot this in studio using two speedlights. It shows what a little technique and some imagination can do for your photography.

Lighting Lesson 06


Here is a cool effect and it was so simple to do. I placed a Nikon Speedlight SB 600 under an orange plastic bowl and triggered the flash from camera position with Nikon SU800 commander. I under exposed the room lights to make the over all image darker. I achieved an eerie type Halloween look. Click on image to enlarge.
