Halloween Christmas Card Shoot

A lovely family came in to the studio for a portrait session on Halloween.  They wanted to get some good shots for their Christmas Card.  Used a traditional white seamless backdrop.  Came out pretty nice.


Artist Audry Winkler

Local San Clemente artist Audry Winkler hired me to photograph some of her paintings for her portfolio.  I really like her work, and she’s truly a nice person.   More examples can be seen at this link.


Why I Like Color Film

The colors almost always come out right, especially skin tones.  I shot these photos using my Mamiya RB67 Pro-S on Kodak Portra 400NC.  The results are spot on color-wise.  I could never get this close to reality with digital. There’s always too much red/magenta in the skin tones.  (Other than resizing, there has been no Photoshop manipulation of these photos.)
