Model portfolio - Sunshine

One of my favorite models I've ever had the pleasure of working with is Sunshine. Over the past couple years, I've worked with her quite a few times and she's proven to be very versatile and an absolute treat to work with.

Promotional session with Renee Marcou

Had a great session recently with up and coming young singer Renee Marcou. This young woman has a voice that is soulful beyond her years and is going to be a star someday, I'm convinced. She needed some new images for her press kit, web site and promotional materials and my friend and favorite make up artist/stylist in the world Janeen Jones referred her to me. We spent a solid half a day both in the studio and on location shooting through a half a dozen wardrobe and styling changes.

Thanks to Janeen (again) for another fantastic job, its always a huge pleasure working with you. Thanks to Renee for being a pleasure to photograph, being damned photogenic and knowing your body and how it moves! And a special thanks to my friend Steve I for his fantastic job assisting me!

Portfolio shoot for Janeen Jones and Caitlin

When the incredibly talented Janeen Jones, one of my absolute favorite make up artists, asked me to shoot a concept she was planning I jumped at the chance. She always seems to hit it out of the park when it comes to design and implementation. She specifically designed the look for one of our favorite models, Caitlin Patricia, so we all were looking for portfolio images.

We started out with hair and light makeup. I set up some christmas lights on a background stand, hanging in front of black muslin.





From there, Janeen glues a bunch of gems to Caitlin and we moved to a white muslin background.





My friends studio that I was using has this gorgeous old staircase in the back. I grabbed my Vagabond and a 3 foot softbox and we moved out into the hallway for the next few.





After a hair and wardrobe change, we took over the staircase again.





Lastly, back into the studio in front of black seamless for some wild styling and moods that fit the styling.



A fun shoot with some of my favorite people. And a special thanks to my friend Steve for the big assist with the shoot!!

Vacation Pictures

Recently took a short vacation to Florida to visit some family. While there, of course I took some family photos, but did it strobist style mid day. Your family portraits don't have to be snapshots! Of course, they put up with me carrying my camera around everywhere we go. ;)

My very understanding wife Robyn and stepdaughter Amber.

365 Project

A couple days ago, I decided to start a photo-a-day project (commonly referred to as a 365 project). I've added a link to it in my sidebar and you can find it at http://danalanephoto365.blogspot.com/
