Photo Studio Challenge - Round 1
As some readers of this blog may know, I am a full time staff photographer in a product studio for Nordstrom. I work with several other very talented photographers and stylists who all love their jobs. We decided collectively to start a bi-weekly photo challenge, we could be creative and share with each other some work outside of product photography. Every two weeks we will identify a theme, shoot an image or series of images, and then get together and share our images and process.
Our first round theme was "Street Photography" which we defined as a natural candid moment, shot without posing or any interference from the photographer. Here are the submissions:

Guitar - Still Life Product Photography
Sometimes models are hard to come by and you get the itch to make something happen. I had one such evening, so I grabbed my guitar and decided to work on a little still life/product photography. Something a little more artsy than catalog.

Agatha - Local Dancer
I really enjoy working with other local artists, dancers in particular. When the opportunity came up work with Agatha Wright, I jumped on it. We shot in a small dance room located inside Ice Town in Riverside.
