elyse & corey

stepping into the studio is something we do very
little of, because we love shooting outside the
constraints of 4 walls. however, exploring
creative possibilities afforded by the
not-so-scary studio environment can invigorate
the creative mind with such tools as powerful $
strobes with fast recharge, 7 foot octabanks
not blowing in the wind, clean seamless
backdrops, privacy, a jamming stereo, a stocked
fridge, and roof protection from afternoon
thunderstorms.
while we had a fabalicious time at elyse & corey's wedding, we did not get a chance to shoot their engagement session and a trash the dress session wasn't in the picture, yet. in lou, we gave a jump start to elyse's modeling portfolio with corey playing a supporting role of cab driver and gear shlepper in between reading paragraphs of his academic PA school studies. he was a good sport. both were willing to move like bendy gumby models like you wouldn't believe.
in our 4 hour session, there were lots of outfit changes, lots of posing and anti-posing, lots of locations and lighting. in addition, shannon kaple & christina "sherpa" dooley stepped up to the plate and hit back-to-back grand slams by sharing their creativity :)
less is more, especially when it comes to lighting. for all your studio lighting fanatics out there, here's the behind the scenes of the studio setup with just one light and with christina featured to the right. btw, christina is a walking encyclopedia of lighting and art direction and served as a marvelous resource and inspiration.
