MODEL: MIRANDA

Miranda is another Kansas City model who is constantly changing her look and portfolio, she was looking for some pinup style pics and gave me a call. This was an easy, indoor shoot, with only a ring flash. I normally don't use flash at all, but the steady and even light of ring flashes are great for glamour. 

EVIL PAWN JEWELRY: MODEL: CHENEE

This test shoot was a trial for Evil Pawn. I had seen alot of their jewelry around town and just had to borrow some and do a test. Chenee is a great model, she's very aware of how she looks and where the jewelry is. After this test, 81sikc secured two major shoots with Evil Pawn. It can pay to be persistent to land bigger gigs, and this test shoot did just that.

EVIL PAWN JEWELRY : PRODUCTS

 I love doing products shoots, again, it's Evil Pawn. These are shot with no flash, but using an LED mini light to brighten the jewelry. I like LED alot, it's a pure light and generally brighter than most desklamps or regular room lights. With product photography, play with your focus area, it can give great results for detail in some areas while throwing the background out of focus.  Catalogue shots are fun and stress free and very important to helping selling high end jewelry like these examples.
