A met a to be bride in Royal Oak to discuss her wedding and some plans. She mentioned that she booked her wedding at the Henry Ford Museum. They did that because it was where they had their first date.

I told her i shot a wedding over the summer and i totally forgot to put these up.

Ran over this today. A personal trainer who specializes in personal training for brides: Jenny Didonato.  She’s a to be bride herself and her wedding is coming up in August of this Year.

She specializes in personal training and has over 35+ free very high quality episodes devoted to personal training.

She lives right here in Metro Detroit as well.

This past weekend i had the pleasure of working with several models in the DEAC collaborative workshop. I had the opportunity to work with Kitty. She’s been featured on covers of Real Detroit Weekly Magazine for the Detroit Exotica Events.

DEAC is a workshop aimed at creating opportunities for models and photographers to network and learn practice and learn about erotic arts as well as build their craft. I can only show you one set that is Pretty much Safe for work.

I thought this would be a great opportunity to work on glamour, posing & boudoir photography and add more pieces as well as refine my portfolio and break the rust that photographers get in the winter in Michigan/Detroit.

This model Kat was very experienced and very helpful in collaborating. I thought i’d share some of my photos from our DEAC photoshoot from the past weekend at the leland hotel in Detroit, Michigan.

For the lighting geeks. I lit this with one reflective umbrella in the first few shots. It was at 1/4 power and was at camera left of the subject. I set the camera to F/4 and wanted to delete any disgusting ambient light. So the shutter was at 1/200th of a second.
