Model. Ice Box. Bricks Wall.
That’s everything you need for a rad shot just before the sun goes all the way down. I set up an informal photo practice session in Charlotte with some friends who wanted to try out new gear. I figured I could help them make better use of their photographic equipment, and maybe shoot a few pics in the process. Well, here’s one that works so well because it’s just a simple photo of a pensive and elegant model.
If you’re a model (or want to be) in North Carolina, let me know if you’d like to build your portfolio with some fashion and lifestyle photos.

This spring in Charlotte turned out to be monsoon season or something, and this shoot was booked, canceled, and re-booked a couple of times. Even on the day of the shoot, we had to work around evening thunder and rain to make these photos. The rain let up eventually and we were able to get out in the open at the parking deck we were shooting in. I like this spot for senior pictures for dudes. It’s got a good industrial/mechanical/steel feel which makes guys look a little more at home. Check these out, and let me know what you think.

The rain broke, and we made it to the top of the parking deck for a few shots.

Mikel’s a budding videographer, so I wanted some shots to incorporate that.

Cloudy skies make images that usually need some warming up.
I like backlit shots. Backlit shots on stairs are cool, too. This is one. As I get minutes here and there, I’m still processing images from a shoot I did with some friends in Mooresville. So the images are showing up randomly in posts like this. Enjoy!
