Slow shutter experiments with Bethany, shot at @lightbendstudios in East Downtown Houston.

Used constant lights for this session (there were a couple of Amran 300s on site), and they did not disappoint. More soon!

My website/socials are in dire need of an update, so I shot some self portraits for the first time in forever.

Tried to replicate the blur effect @shortstache used in his most recent photo set with a couple of these, pretty happy with the results.

Made at @madekulture studio.

I'm gonna keep annoying y'all with these concert shots because I keep finding ones that I really love as I go through my edits.

I'm considering a whole other post with just the black and white shots I love, and another one of crowd outtakes, so if that's something you wanna see lemme know (all 12 of you the algo shows this to, anyway). 🙌

This set of images was the hardest for me to figure out what to do with.

Working with multiple people to capture action is more complex than a regular portrait shoot, but very fun. In the end, I opted for a mock-up of a sports ad as a nod to the workshop's sponsor, JD Sports.

Life's been life-ing, but I finally got a chance to sit down and edit some more photos from @thecsvisuals Art of People workshop.

Absolutely loved this red and black set. Shoutout to @obidinzeribe for the pointers on fashion photography and insights on the industry here.

Went for a more editorial fashion look with these edits, especially the close-up detail in slide two.

Big, BIG thanks to everyone who made this happen:

Experimenting with motion blur at the Art of People photo workshop this past weekend. Caught these near the end, but I wanted to edit them first since they were some of my favorites.

Shoutout to Sean and Crissy of @thecsvisuals for hosting us, @jdsportsus for sponsoring the event, featured photographers @arivetere + @obidinzeribe for being there to coach and answer questions, and the models for absolutely killing it.

So many people came together and hustled to make this work, and they're tagged below:

Down to the final set of photos and had to post this one when I saw how the edit came out. It could be the copious amounts of cold brew talking, but I really think we did something. Hashtag Jane Austen in the park.

An old-school, evening-in-the-park shoot with some good light. Collaborating once again with the Vivinator™, bringing the Jane Austen vibes to 2026.

NEW portraits of Cindy taken last weekend.

Taken in store at Precision Camera during their Summer Expo event with ambient lighting. I settled on four images and edited two in color and two in black and white (swipe for the rest).

Some strong black and whites from this session. 💪

I love the color photos from this shoot, but sometimes you have to go monochrome. Next post will be back to color.

Another throwback edit. This image was taken on the rooftop at POST HTX before the pandemic.

This shoot was one of the first (I think) that I did with my first pro-level camera, my D750. This image of Alecia, with its windblown aesthetic, is still really cool to me years later.
