I’ve always liked the old US Navy posters.  You know? Where they used pretty looking girls and strong shirtless sailors to recruit people; often times called pin up girls.

I’ve never had the opportunity to do a themed shoot like this but hey, guess what? It happened about a week ago. I had the chance to work with a model who was up for this kind of shoot. I really like how the bright colors “pop”and the fun and inviting feel.
I would love to have a project with this kind of style to work with. I need to start writing down all these ideas for future reference. -hint-hint-…..

Enjoy!

I like to have a variety to keep my skills up to date. So I went out with the guys for a shoot today and decided to bring my Nikon strobes. I was able to get awesome results with three Nikon SB-800′s.
I shot @ ISO400, 1/1250 to darken the sky and the strobes we’re doing their job @ full power. I set my aperture to f/4 and went at it. After messing with my exposure for a couple of times, I ended up with what I wanted. Dark skies for a dramatic effect and a well lit subject. I didn’t have any kind of light modifier. Strobes were shot bare and I used Nikon’s CLS to fire the strobes. Enjoy!

P.S.
Flickr is not working for me today so I had to use Photobucket. :S
