Info on the paynage

Howdy the names Aaron, and this is my attempt at taking a photo a day and posting it here for everyone to see starting january 1st 2010. I know, I know it’s not original.

UPDATE: Ok, so I'm not getting one out everyday anymore. But hey at least I'm still working at it!

Bit about me and my life of creating images... I’ve been taking photos well back into the days of film. I’ve spent a couple years shooting only black and white and developing in the dark room and loved it. Fast forwarding to the days of the pixel I’ve since abondoned film and have gone all digital (Sorry film! I will always love you, I’ve been seduced by the instant gradification).

Recently I’ve been becoming obsessed with studio and strobist lighting.

  • Canon 40D
  • EF 50mm 1.4
  • EF 100 2.8 Macro

I think the only thing that might make me even sexier is if I had my shirt off to show off my hairy chest and a sweet mullet. Watch out David Hasselhoff! Anyways, I was just playing around with lighting here and using a warming red gel.

portrait of me with lighting blowing out the image in the top left

First time in weeks that I have used some of my lights. I wonder if I will ever learn not to look directly at a flash when it's about to go off at full power.

My hair's getting long... It's a lot of hard work you know. Anyways here's a portrait of me using one light with a beauty dish blasting the side of my face and another from behind for the hair.
