Stu Stu Studio

Did I mention I have a studio?

Yep. In Fullerton.  It's become sort of a photographer's co-op, with people at all levels learning and sharing and growing.  It's freaking exciting.

So I met up with some others there last night to learn about studio lighting (since I have never touched a studio light in my life!) and got some quick shots.

The whole studio environment is so new to me, but I do have some quick thoughts about it I wanted to share.

It's all about composition and lighting.  Like, ALL about composition and lighting. Because the background is gone, the focus is squarely on your subject.  This freaked me out a little bit.  I generally like to incorporate the environment and have subjects interact with their surroundings.  So, having no surroundings threw me off.

The lighting.  Dear God.  This shit is even more technical than I had thought. I swear to God, there was a point where Marcus metered in nine different places for one shot.  WTF. Nine places.  One shot.

So, yeah.

I come from a place where I like to just have my subjects play and relax and be themselves, and here, in this new place, it seems I'm going to have to plan.  Hmmmmm.  It's a little addicting, having complete control, however.  Being able to move lighting, change lighting, move backgrounds.. I can see why photogs enjoy that part of it.  Control freaks, pssssshhhh.

Anyway, I'm so new to this, but I am pretty proud of some things I got last night.

Izzy

There are babies, and then there are little men.

Israel Leonidas is definitely the latter.

His mom, Claire, and I go way back to 9th grade drama together. She and I had our sons around the same time, she's always been there for me, and her husband still raves about the trail mix I brought her in the hospital when she had Izzy.

So when she asked me to do Izzy's headshots, naturally it was a yes.

We met in Old Orange, Izzy and his dad sang songs from Yo Gabba Gabba, and it could not have been any easier to get great shots of such a gorgeous boy.

I mean, little man.
