Alright, another four days of shooting and I’m spent. We shot at the Big League Dreams complex where I photographed some promo stuff for them last year. This week, there were tears, cheers, and any other kind of a emotion you can imagine 8-14 year old boys having. Now its time for a little break from baseball and back to denver. Here are some picks from this week.
On my day off yesterday, I decided to join some co-workers to a spring training game of the Colorado Rockies against the Chicago White Sox. Now, the score doesnt matter, because the Rockies got rocked. It was a beautiful day, and I really enjoyed justing laying out and getting a tan while watching, but I couldn’t resist taking my camera to get a few photos. Here was an exciting play at second base.
A little vacation time is always relaxing, and when I travel with a youth sports photography company, we usually get a few days to enjoy ourselves when we aren’t photographing sports. Its spring training down here in Arizona, but we are shooting a youth baseball tournament that has three tournaments within it. This past weekend I took pictures for the second section of the tournament, and had a blast. The kids were just excited to get out and play in the great weather, and I was excited to photograph them. I will be in Arizona for another week to capture images of the final event, but until then, here are some of my favorites from part one.
Last weekend, I took pictures at a soccer tournament for a youth sports company. The weather had its ups and downs, and so did the light, but overall, everything went well. They were all youngsters at this event. I didnt shoot anyone over 11 years old. Here is an assortment of the better action shots from the tournament.
I would like to personally thank the weather here in colorado. 2 days ago it was a high of 30 degrees, and tomorrow it is supposed to show. However, today was a beautiful 50 with the soft light of the clouds evening out my light. Jeanne is vocalist at Lamont School of Music. We tried to get a variety of smiles and ambitious looks, indoor and outdoor. Here are three of my favorites from the photo shoot.
Alicia come over today to add some fun things to her portfolio. We decided to try to get a few totally different looks, but we could only fit so much in the allotted time. We started out with the concept of blue. Blue eyelashes, blue lipstick and a blue tie. Then, to counter that, she put on warm colored sweater dress. Those I am not completely sold on the concept. A dress… that is also a sweater… I don’t know that is supposed to keep them warm, but it looked nice so I will stop complaining. These are two of the contrasting photos I chose.
I had the chance to shoot a wedding in Breckenridge with Justin Edmonds earlier this year. The bride and groom had blast, and so did we. I covered the groom getting ready while Justin hung out with the bride. Here are just a few shots from the day.
Amilia was a blast to shoot. She just moved from New Mexico to study here in Colorado and do theatre. For this photo shoot we went back to downtown Denver to find some great backgrounds, and a few worked out just fine. We photographed a variety of stuff from all natural light, to reflectors, to speed lights into reflectors, and shot with a variety of lenses to give us a medley of possibilities for her to choose from. These were three of my favorites from out photo session.
It was another beautiful day here in Denver. So for these headshots, Shannon and I went downtown. I rarely take pictures out here, but after this session, I think I am going to start doing it more. We started out near Commons Park, But there were so many wind tunnels around the buildings there, it made it hard for her hair to stay in one place. Every headshot from our photo shoot was made with only natural light. A large white and gold reflector was our other light source the whole day. People often get caught up in strobes and trying to control the light too much, when often, the natural light is the most beautiful. Here were three of my favorites from the shoot.
My friend Serina and her daughter Gracy came out for a beautiful afternoon this December in Denver. Sometimes it snows, and sometimes it’s 50 degrees. We went to Westlands Park, where I have shot before with success. We did a combination of regular posed images and some candid photos of them playing in the snow, or playing itsy bitsy spider. We had a great time, and came out with some great photographs.
