Light & Airy Photography vs Dark & Dramatic Photography
For this video, my goal was to challenge myself to shooting the same location, model, camera, lens, etc and creating two completely different looks just by altering my lighting and style.

What an amazing rooftop fashion shoot this was with the brand new Profoto A2. Make no mistake, this small light has some serious punch.
Like many photographers, I’m always trying to find new ways to take my images to the next level.
Light and story. These are the two most important factors in making great portraits. Not your camera, and although I get asked a lot, it’s not the focal length.
If you've been in the photography business for a while, you already know that mood is a huge component of any picture you take.
Often, when photographers think of “flash photography” or alternate light sources, they think dramatic, but sometimes, all we need is some lighting to fill and even out the skin.
When anyone approaches me requesting advice for photography and how to build a business doing it, the first thing I tell them is, “You better LOVE it and you better be willing to work REALLY hard. It’s a lot harder than it looks, and it’s not nearly as glamorous as it looks either.”
When I started on my journey into the world of photography, I didn’t know what to expect or where to start. All I knew is that I wanted to create amazing images and create incredible art.
There are many ways to take your portraits to another level. However, I have created a simple workflow that has helped me create the BANGERS that have turned a hobby into a full-blown career.
As a professional portrait photographer, the bulk of my work is done in my studio by choice. From the beginning of my photography career, I have been in love with studio portraiture. As a new photographer, I was eager to learn how to light my subjects through tutorials, online classes and workshops, but the demonstrations were typically held in large spaces with high ceilings.
