I had the pleasure of photographing Hula from AJ’s Playhouse on Channel 933.
I was excited for this photoshoot because I hear Hula on the radio all the time and I know how funny he can be. Leading up to the day I was trying to think of fun and interesting poses I can get him to do. After giving it much thought I decided to let Hula just be himself. He’s already funny and it would be even better if it came from him!
Below is a flash slideshow of Hula in his GQ poses and then in his fun and amusing shots.
November is right around the corner and I’m posting an update on what Photos by Rowell is working on. At the top of the list is Sheree and Scott’s wedding photos. I’m going through each photo and they are turning out really well.
I’ve booked two other photoshoots:
Nathan & Riley Child Photography Portraits
I’m looking forward to working with these two kids. We’ll be working in their parents’ home and then moving to the neighborhood park to get some creativeplayground shots. Hopefully, the kids won’t notice me as much with the camera and act naturally but most importantly, listening to me and their parents to get the shots they want. For this I’ll be focusing on using the Canon 50mm 1.2L. I’m pretty excited to get some sweet child photography bokeh.
DJ Misha Urban Photography Portraits
Mid-NovemberThis project is currently on hold. I will have the pleasure of working with San Diego’s house Dj, DJ Misha. Just a little bio on Misha:
Born in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, DJ Misha relocated to the United States in 1991 and settled down in San Diego, California. Misha has held residencies at some of the finer clubs San Diego has to offer: Envy at The Ivy Hotel, Jack’s in La Jolla and Harneys Sushi in Old Town. He became the preferred dj for San Diego Euro Circle events, and was selected to play major fundraising events for the San Diego City Ballet and Rady Childrens Hospital.
For my own personal taste, I’ll be photographing the boats in the San Diego harbor with the downtown skyline as the backdrop. I’m also looking forward to photographing my friends and I for breakfast. The food better be great because I’ll be reviewing it here on my blog! Lastly, there will be sometechnology photographed and presented. You’ll see the hardware that this blog runs on. The backbone of the interwebs.
Sounds quite a lot to get done starting now through the end of November. I’m always looking for new ideas and projects so if you have any, comment it in!
I had the greatest pleasure of photographing Sheree and Scott’s wedding in Oceanside, Saturday October 11 2008. I made my way to the location at 2pm to photograph both Bride and Groom getting ready. I first started with Scott because I knew he would be ready much faster than Sheree and what I ended up [...]
I had the pleasure of joining another photographer to do some portrait photography in his studio. Most of my portraiture is done on location outdoors because I love the scenary and the possibilities are endless. Another plus side is that I don’t have to spend that much money re-creating an outdoor scene indoors. A disadvantage to working outdoors is the act of controlling light to get the exact picture you want.
To change things around, my photography friend and I put up some background paper from Calumet that you can get for about $45. He had made his own background support that hung off the wall. Much cheaper than buying a heavy-duty background support which can cost over $100. You lose out on mobility though.
We worked on both white (high-key) and black background. What we found is that high-key portraits can get quite boring, especially if
