Pass the Popcorn

Grab your coffee, click subscribe, enjoy the readings of my blogging ramblings of Gearing up topics. I'm always on the run and sharing my comings and goings of the life and times of the life of an active photographer.

We host monthly workshops for photographers, models, actors and makeup artist. We do this in unique location with a different concept in hopes that everyone involved can add their photos to their portfolio and build it up.

Now, pass the popcorn and tell me what you think?

Gearing up for the Fourth of July


Gearing up for the fourth of July with the Family.  Looking for a long awaited time to rest and hide the phone.  Photo above is this issue of onetalentsource.com E-Magazine.  Model Ciera Samuels OTS #28820 is the feature model for this issue about marketing.

We are only days away from the SOS Event 5 in Surfside and we are busy making some cool props for this event.   We have some really unique models, location and props to add to this years big event.  For those that have not registered yet as a photographer, please do so before we close the event.  We have makeup artists coming early to work on models in advance of the shoot starting.

Click HERE  to register. 

We are kicking off our second Wet n Wild workshop for July 31st with three amazing models and only six photographers.  We will shoot the models in a private pool with fog, smoke, gel lights, reflecting pond and outdoor showers.  It is Wet and Wild with models in some Haute Couture Makeup.

The first one we did some color gel lights in the garden tub and the photos looked really cool, but this time we are bring in the shower outside.  Here is a photo from the first Wet n Wild at the beginning of the month.  Photo below is Model Annicia Davis OTS #26717 with Makeup Artist Alicia Guevara. 

A few weeks ago we did our second paper design workshop at the cotton gin.  We had 14 photographers and eight amazing models at it.  It was Hot and Haute to say the least.  We would have to say that dispite the hot temperatures the photos were amazing.  Here is one from that event with Model Kimmi Hunter a long time model on OTS # 18245. 

We hope everyone has a great fourth of July as we celebrate with our families and friends.  Be safe and be happy in no matter what you do.  I leave you with a photo from our kids Sweet n Sassy Runway workshop of Photographers Chris Fords oldest daughter Megan age 24.  lol
