Portrait

     For this image I used a green gel to cast a highlight around his head. I achieved this by using a Alien Bee strobe with a green gel over the light and directed it at the back of his head.

Mixed Drink

 

     This image is of an apple martini made with Smirnoff and an apple drink mix. I used an Alien Bee strobe with a softbox and fill cards to light this. I added depth to the image by including all the ingredients and items used to create the drink.   

Model Portfolio

     This image of my friend, Alicia, was photographed using an Alien Bee strobe and a beauty dish. The beauty dish created a glamorous look to this head shot. This was just one image from a series for a model portfolio. For this one, I had her hold her glasses up to her mouth to create a seductive school teacher or librarian persona.   

Pink Heels

   This pair of heels was photographed using two Alien Bee strobes with softboxes. I positioned them this way to show the elegance and daintiness of the shoe.

Fruit

     This is a photograph of a bowl filled with luscious fresh fruit. I picked these different types of fruit to add an arrangement of vibrant colors to the image that would grab the viewer's attention. The fruit in the foreground was strategically placed to add depth, as well as to lead the viewer to the bowl of fruit in the background. The light was arranged to create a feeling of the early morning sun gently spilling across the fruit, as it awaits someone's breakfast.

Appletini

      To create this image I used two Alien Bee strobes with soft boxes on each. I first made the drink then added the ingredients to the photo to show what goes in to creating this drink.  I decided to photograph it from a higher angle to give the illusion that someone is about to enjoy this delicious Apple Martini.      

Taylor

      This is a glamor head shot of my friend Taylor.  For this image I used three Alien Bee strobes and created a clam shell lighting technique with a background light.
