I used one light in a large 4 x 6 soft box, behind an even larger scrim, on camera left. This produces the soft gradient lighting on the bottle. I set up a white board to reflect light into the bottle on the right side of the camera, giving it a nice line down its side. The background gradient is subtly lit with a small soft box camera right.
A simple light set up to enhance the beauty of this delicious bottle of wine.
Looking back at our annual local neighborhood surf contest. One of the best days of the year, for sure...Friends, Neighbors and even some Dolphins.

Peter Lindbergh Inspired Portrait
This week we focused on Peter Lindbergh! This photographer rocks!
Week two of my eight-week portrait course studying classic portrait artists. I was inspired by Yousef Karsh and his lighting style.
Simple Subjects, Simple Design
A vision statement for my work... I photograph simple subjects and use a simple design.

Last couple of days of Winter in Encinitas...
Encinitas Sunset...
This was just the beginning of another amazing sunset in our fine city. The most beautiful part of this particular sunset came a few minutes after the sun sat below the horizon. The sky opened up above us and became a lovely vivid pink masterpiece...
Stonesteps Beach, Encinitas CA
Sometimes you just get lucky. This guy was running down the steps for a sunset session and I quickly fired off two shots. Love how the sun rays wrap around his head...Ahhh, Encinitas in February!

The family awoke to a big boom and crackling lightning this morning. What came next was an incredible display of clouds in such dramatic form. So I grabbed my camera and captured a moment in the eastern sky...
A one-light portrait session. I got my inspiration for this photograph from a photo I saw by Edward Weston...
I came upon these BBQ Green Onions in the grocery store and thought I could make some art with them...
This was assignment 11 for Project 52 Pro. Using Black Angels by American composer George Crumb I was to make this CD cover for the string quartet. You can listen to this piece for yourself right here. Below is my interpretation along with behind the scenes...
If you dared to listen to the music I linked above you may understand where I'm going with this shot. My thoughts were to use the graceful lines of the string instrument to bring your eye right into the bow with torn up horse hair coming straight down into the image, like an exclamation point. Below is the BTS...
I used window light but I had the violin about three feet from the window and the window was covered with two cards. Approximately 2/3rds of the window was flagged and the sunlight spilled over the top. You could say I used the window light as a strip light...
Celebrating Valentine's Day and our Anniversary at Moonlight Beach, Encinitas CA...
This portrait is one of two for my Project52 assignment. One 60" shoot through umbrella just out of frame camera right. A black card behind door, on the pillow to give her skin less brightness as light was reflecting off the light color wall.
On my back looking up and over.
