We got a late start this month and by the looks of it, we will get a late start on November's shoot as well. Both Kat and I have pretty hectic schedules so we fit it in where we can. I really appreciate Kat's dedication to the project and her sticktoitiveness.
It has been getting cold a little early so we planned on a very short location shoot and then studio for the rest.
We started out in the North part of Salt Lake east of the airport. The image above was one of our first shots. It's mostly natural light with a very slight fill from the left. This is a very natural shot of Kat and one of my favorites from the shoot.
The next two were shot just down the road. Pretty quite area but we did have a farmer drive by in truck that looked at us a little uneasy. Silly city slickers :)
These were both shot similar to the one above with mostly natural light and just a little fill. Luckily Kat is pretty good about not squinting so it made lighting a lot easier. We were also lucky enough to have some awesome clouds for background.

We then headed to a warehouse location were we took a few shots. Kat provided the wardrobe and make-up for the entire shoot. The warehouse we chose is really a pretty simple location but as we walked around scouting it, we both saw the possibilities in certain backgrounds at the same time. Either that or she is psychic :) It is really great to have the synergy with Kat and to create building upon each of our ideas.
The following were all shot using two battery powered off camera strobes in various configurations.

Lastly, a couple from the studio. These were shot against black muslin and used high powered strobes with various modifiers, i.e., soft box, grids, beauty dish, strips, etc.

And, here is a shot of Kat with her little girl Nova Star
Kat used to have a cat but now has a dog ...........hmmmmm???
Nova looks like an ankle biter but is really the well behaved non yappy type.
Last but not least, I wanted to share a pic that Kat and I created up on the top of Farmington peak. Kat had been working on this idea for a while now. We went through a lot of effort to get this shot. drove through some pretty sketchy roads and endured the cold. Well, Kat had to endure it a little more than I but I was a little chilly. Not to mention we shot this on Farmington peak during hunting season so we were a little concerned about safety but took extra precautions.
Stay tuned for November!
