Tonya in Deep Ellum

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

I recently met up and had a fantastic shoot with Tonya, she has a natural beauty about her and is an absolute pleasure to work with!  She’s just starting out on her book, so I suggested some casual light, lifestyle-ish images!  We met up at one of my favorite places to hang out and to shoot: Deep Ellum!  And we had a great overcast day which to shoot; a photographer’s dream!  Colors are just so delicately beautiful and soft, the absolute best light to shoot some casual images.  Just had to break out the Bronica on this one!

Love, love, love these two…especially that top one.  One of the best feelings as a photographer is when you frame up a shot, snap the shutter…and just know that you nailed a great shot.

The only thing that can make a softly lit over cast day like 100 times better, is when a wind blows up and adds that little extra “touch” to a shot.  That classic windblown hair shot…

I look forward to shooting with Tonya again really soon!

Just having some fun in Downtown Dallas with Grant Meeks….getting off our butts and shooting something.  We did one of these not too long ago, Grant shot digital and I shot film…which should be reaching Scan Cafe’s scanning center right about now.  This time we switched roles; he shot film and I shot digital.  Next time we’re both shooting film, or we’re both shooting digital.  Also with shooting with my philosophy of one shot no chimping…I shot this like I had a roll of 24 exp film, I ended up with 25 shots, with about 12 finals, here’s six of those:
