Desi - Chimney Bluffs

Another great model shoot. This time with model Desiree, on a cool, windy, not so nice day. My second shoot with this model in two days. We were a bit tired. It was not the best for shooting but we managed to get a few keepers. The location was Chimney Bluffs State Park in Wolcott, NY. The location was suggested by a client and I'm so glad we made the trip there. It was well worth it.

I do plan on returning to the park on a HOT summer day with the family when I can enjoy it more.

I'm looking forward to another shoot with Desiree soon.

Anticipation & Excitement...

I'm so excited for my model shoot with Kendra tomorrow. I have so many new ideas to try with this shoot and a new location too. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, lol. The anticipation is killing me. It's like being a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for Santa. It looks like the rain will hold out until the afternoon so we should be okay weather wise. I actually hope it is a little cloudy so I can take advantage of the soft, diffused light.

Check the bloggy blog tomorrow night for the latest imagery!

Retouch - Before & After...

A quick retouch using Photoshop and Portrait Professional. First time I've used the PP software on a male model. I kinda like it though. Hey if they can wear makeup, they can have their skin softened too. Right? Can you see the difference? Click on images for larger view. You can see my reflection in his eyes too. I'll have to work on that. What a great smile!
