I don't usually post photos, but here's a link to a shoot I did last night with my uber hot cousin and her uber sex-ay hubbie.

Couple Shots

Wow! I'm not sure why you don't post photos very often, but I wish you would. I love the style, although I don't know how you would even define it (reportage, lifestyle, ?) I also doesn't hurt that your cousin looks like that....

Thanks Nus. It's funny cause I thought this dirty little area was my own secret (I've shot bands there before - all shots are in the same small area behind a crackhouse and snowboard shop) but I opened up a big lifestyle mag in town the other day and it was voted best "graffiti" spot in town.

Thanks! It was fun..they're 1 year old boy was sleeping soundly in his stroller, and it's a sketchy neighborhood so we had to appoint one person to keep an eye out the whole time.

Beautiful shots Lori. They look kind of like Tom / Nicole (Crusie and his ex). Great setting and light. The 1st, fourth and last one are definately tops for me.

I love the use of depth of field. Your photography really shows what the potentials of DOF are when use correctly.

I agree with Nusbaum that you should post more pics.

Thanks again, it's nice when people don't say your stuff is crap.

We're all untruthful, it's total crap. :-)

I really like the first one, Kiss My Shoulder...but they are all great. Good use of lighting...

I can't take credit for the post-pressing. Charla (the girl in the shots) put a black and white layer over half the shots to whiten the whites and to make the shadows darker....to give it the "dirty" feel I was going for. That said, editing was minimal. No cropping.

The "poster" shots of them came out just like I had them in my head so I was stoked about that. We shot in a dark corner using a bright flash to bring out shadows behind them.

I wanted to add that these shots are a good example of blunt direction .. every other sentence from me was "okay Ryan, suck in..you too Charla".

I was going to comment that the dodging and burning looked a bit unnatural around the subjects because there was a glow surrounding them in some of the pictures.. ie: on the ground and on the walls too. But you say editing was minimal.

Perhaps this had something to do with lighting?

edit to add: Nice shots, btw.

I used the same dumpster/buildings for theseshots too (some are a bit flat, I had no clue how to post-process back then).

Really nice, unique couple shots. I like "My man" and "That's my Husband". You should do some more work with this couple. If they have any more children, I'll bet they'd do some great maternity shots.

I like the angles, the dof, and the editing. All combine to give a real urban, sexy mood.

LMAO

They're actually planning to have another child soon. We'll see. But they don't want to overlap with his career plans because he's turning pro (tennis that is) in a year and wouldn't be the most opportune time to be a daddy again.
