Las Vegas Portrait, Beauty, Boudoir and Cultural Photography
Well, it’s June and here in Vegas things are already starting to hear up. Seems a bit early, but that kind of heat is what you can expect living in the desert. I went downtown yesterday around 4:30pm and shot until around 9pm, when the temps dropped to a chilly 94°F. 😉 If you go …
There are no hard and fast rules for street photography, but this video just covers some of my thoughts on the subject, as well as 10 tips that hopefully could give you a place to start in developing your own process for street photography. I referenced Ted Forbes YouTube channel, The Art of Photography. This …
This past week was a fun week. I shot with the X100T with the TCL, making what is normally a 35mm (ff equiv) to a 50mm focal length. Then I also shot with my X-T1 that I usually use the 35mm f2 lens, but this week I used the 23mm f1.4 lens. That takes that …
This is my “What’s In My Bag” video for the bag I usually carry with me for street photography. I never used to carry anything but my X100 and a couple of extra batteries, but since I’ve picked up the Fuji X-T1 I now like having some extra gear with me. Not a lot, but …

A while back I did a post on someone who’s become one of my favorite photographers, Saul Leiter. The post was on his early color work, which is amazing. (the work, not necessarily the post 😉 ) When I first started studying Saul’s photography it was his color work that really stood out to me. That …
Last night was Christmas Eve. It was a little cold out, and a bit of a breeze was blowing but I still felt like getting out for a walk. I decided to go downtown just to see what a Vegas Christmas Eve looked like down there. Although there were a few people in this shot, as one …
Henri Cartier-Bresson’s book, The Decisive Moment. Several people have asked me about this book. Well.. I love it! If you are a fan of his work or just appreciate this kind of work, you probably will too. They (Steidl) have done a nice job with the reprinting of this book. This is the first copy …
I got a chance to get out last night and do a little street shooting downtown. It’s December but the temperature wasn’t too bad and it felt great to get out! Photography is all about light and shadows and most photographers prefer more light as opposed to less. Might be just a phase but I’m …
