Senior Portraits Dalina le

This shoot was great because it was the first shoot i had since coming back from Vietnam! over vietnam it was all nice and warm, well super hot. and back in seattle it was cold and leaves were starting to fall. Dalina had gave me a call and wanted to do some senior photos, but she wanted the leaves so she can show its fall.

So i thought of a place, beacon hill, last year i did a shoot for Ashley and Diane there so we went to the same spot.

Franklin Prom

Another Prom shoot, this time it was for franklin. My friend Denny ye, gave me a call asking me if i wanted to shoot his group and pictures of him and his girlfriend, And how could i say no? Denny ye is one of my good friends so i always love to help out a friend, epically on a moment like this. For the shoot we went to a location right before the Green bridge on beacon, i don't know the name but its going to be a place i come back for sure. This proms shoot wen extremely well, i had 4 couples to shoot, some of them ere hard but some were just very camera shy, so it took them awhile to warm up to the camera, but after that they took the best pictures ;D

After shooting this event, and using my beauty dish, I'm starting to want a Large Octobox for couples type of shoot so i can light up more people and light up more area with it, and the octobox will produce even more softer light!

here are the images

Marie Senior Portraits

Marie is one of my good friends when i was in high school. we even had a few classes together like yearbook! one of the classes that had made me pursuit my career and passion of photography to the next level ;). Marie will be attend School in Oregon next year. As for the photo shoot, we went to Carkeek park which is right of greenwood.
It is a amazing place for sunsets and just relax and taking pictures of course!
At carkeek park there was a green walking bridge that was very nice but it was very busy so we didn't have a chance to take snap shots there, so we went to the rail road tracks! On the Rail Road Tracks we had to be extra careful due to the fact that on coming trains still run!. After the rail road tracks we did some shots on the beach and finally shots on the grass!
Marie was a great Model, and her smile just tips the picture off to spark!

L.O.V.E

During the Shoot we also did a set Image ;)
i love this ;)

Anh Tran & Danang Le Part 2

The first time we had the engagement shoot we had too much fun, so i had ask Anh Tran & Danang Le Part 2 if they wanted to do a part two for there engagement shoot! They were more than happy to volunteer for a second shoot. That said we went to alki to do a total different type of shoot. The first shoot was more of your casual normal pose type of things. So this time it was the more relax and real laid back, they both came dress in jeans. instead of doing the typical pose we just had a lot of fun. We were doing pose that had to deal with Tran running in the air, so which makes it look like DN is carrying him! Oh man it was so much fun! for a matter of fact They had too much fun that they forgot that i was here ;) which made my job easier to capture a picture,

This shoot was very fun, Anh Tran & Danang Le were energetic clients. I wish i had a sidekick that day to hold a reflector so i can get some of the shadow out of there face, and i also wish i check the tides so i know where its low tides or high tides, I got my Socks wet because it was high tides and for a good shot i needed to go in the water.
But as a photographer you must do what it takes for that great shot. This time i only had to sacrifice my wet feet.

Setup
Nikon d300s (diana) 70 to 200 2.8

MESA SHOOT- Anh Tran and DN Engagement part 2

Next two posts

and the second part of out 2 part shoot
For there engagement shoot.

stay tune ;)

Gully *Granite* Raza & Jennifer Sus part 2

I totally forgot to mention that Gully is a bboy (break dancer) and his bboy name is Granite which means solid as a rock ;) he is apart of the massive monkey crew!
Massive monkeys is a of the great breaking crew from Seattle that ever got big. they have been feature in many shows and even complete on ABDC! since Granite was a bboy i had to use his unique skills and use them in the shots. During the shoot i also did a few three pieces sets.

For example a picture of gully doing a bboy pose.
1. The first picture is him getting ready to go up
2. is where Jennifer is trying to catch his legs and get him set
3. The final image we wanted.

check it out ;)
