Vinoy Park Beach and Coffee Pot Boulevard Saint Petersburg Florida Portraits
I photographed portraits of Ann in along scenic Coffee Pot Blvd in Saint Petersburg Florida. Coffe Pot Bayou provides a beautiful backdrop, and I especially love the white stucco spanish style park structures which featured bougainvillea in bloom. As the afternoon light progressed, we sought the golden hour light on the Vinoy Park beach. During this shoot I mixed available light with fill light…
Cadillac Ranch Amarillo Texas
Sometimes you just have to get off the highway and see the sights. While driving cross country from Colorado to Florida, I spent a lot of time in Texas. Three days driving through Texas to be exact! On my bucket list was stopping at Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas. On our way out of town in the morning, I backtracked a little on Interstate…

Natural Light and Strobed Portraits at Vinoy Park and North Shore in Saint Petersburg Florida
After a rainy and cloudy day, the sky let up for some late afternoon portraits of Fritzi. The wind on North Shore beach in St. Petersburg Florida was fairly intense and I was not being kind to my subject’s hair. We moved off the beach to a grassy area of the park, and then mother nature intercepted with some beautiful cloud diffused sunlight. I…
Portraits of Delila at Mirror Lake Park St. Petersburg FL
I had the pleasure of photographing Delila on a beautiful breezy and sunny Florida winter day as part of the meet-up.com group, the Tampa Bay Strobists and Photoshop Collective. For my lighting, I used one SaberStrip, triggered by Radio Popper Jr’s and powered by my nikon SB-800 flash.
