Porschia: Westin Fashion

November 7, 2013 by Josh Baker

PorBlog-2Small

Porschia and I met up this morning at the Westin in the Domain to kick off her official modeling career. Our goal was to work through 3 great outfits and to provide a variety of looks and lighting to start off her portfolio with a diversity of looks and styles. We started off with a gridded and snooted speedlight with a full CTO gel on the speedlight to match the warm tones of the Wine Cellar room. The first outfit and textures called for restricted, harsh lighting to help create the mood. While still in the Cellar we also used our Orbis Ring Flash to create a hard fashion light in a closeup portrait.

For our first outfit and location change we went with a “Porschia is Donald Trump” attitude. I lit this differently than any photo I have done. The hair light is behind Porschia and a bit high. The light itself is a fotodiox daylight balanced video light aiming toward her right ear. The key light is a speedlight bounced into the silver side of circular reflector to mimic the sheen and specularity of the fabric to Porschia’s left. I think it has an interesting feel to the light. Going to work this that setup again to see how far we can push that technique.

The fourth photograph was also special because we used the giant window light as a scrim. No flashes! Very rare, but when the light is good the light is very good. Porschia looks like she has been doing this all her life, but no, just the first time!

And lastly we come to my favorite photograph of the day, #5. To me, it should be on a billboard or movie poster, just a great moment with super cool lighting mix of ambient and another 1/2 CTO gelled flash in a Westcott Apollo Orb. The best part is the yellow light behind is the background that the Westin staff check in guests at. We had just a tiny sliver of working area to photograph in and Porschia just nails the Hollywood feel. And that’s how we ended the day.

Which one is yall’s favorite?

Is this your glass slipper?

Midnight nears with a glass slipper in hand. Is this yours my darling? The dance we danced was sweet and true.
We can’t be seen together, I am not who you think.
My love?
I must away, please do not follow

The slipper fits!
My love, midnight nears

Erika and Arnold – Wedding Sneak Peaks – Domain Westin, Austin, Texas

December 28, 2010 by Josh Baker

Erika and Arnold tied the knot this past Sunday at the Westin in the Domain. Lovely and intimate day with friends and family from all over the globe. The Westin staff, especially Mona Lisa, were wonderfully accommodating to the photographer who wanted to use their lobby for some pictures. The surprise of the day was the mariachi band rolling in after the toasts. If that wasn’t enough, one of the brides sisters belted a few tunes out with panache with the band backing her up.

Here are the sneak peaks while our elves work feverishly to finish the entire set.

On your Wedding Day...
Down the aisle
Down the aisle, married this time!
Love.... in a minty flavor
Looking forward to the future
Carla, the singer, 7 months pregnant and rocking it!
