Less is More

Photographers can learn from this. Over filing your pictures doesn't get you far and will end up driving editors crazy (assuming they are real editors who take their work seriously). Be focused and selective with how and what you shoot.

Addicted to Speed

Race tracks are fun. It sure beats shooting some random kids soccer game or being stuck in a studio shooting product on white. Really grateful I don't have to shoot any of that stuff on occasion otherwise I'd rather go find another job doing something else more exciting.

I spent some time shooting a lot of this car stuff on the track and at those pretty type of locations early on in my photography career. Not cause I had to, but simply because I like cars and the speed that comes along with it.

Here's one from trackside during a Super GT race at Sportsland Sugo up in the northern region part of Japan. Shot with the 70-200 F2.8L IS, 1/640th at F5, ISO 250.

Over and out.

Simply Sexy

Been doing a bit of fashion as of late in between my usual assignments, which is always a fun thing to take on when the occasion arises. I'm pretty backlogged now with content so I'm just going to share this quick one from the studio until I can find time to clear my head and do a better write-up.

This is my friend Emi. Met her years back down in Okinawa and and it's always a pleasure to photograph her in and outside of the studio. Not only is she one of the most down-to-earth people I know, but she's got tons of positive and creative energy that I just can't keep up at times. I can just sit there and let her words fill my brain with ideas I never thought of. It's like that, and maybe that's why I was able to collaborate with her on a few jobs where she was assigned as the CD. This was the last frame shot of 476 and probably one of my favorites because it reflects the authenticity of her personality and sexiness at the same time.

More soon...
