Portrait Tutorials?

I initially got this platform to share content not accepted on other platforms. I have got some requests for tutorials, mainly on lighting. Is this kind of content for this platform or would you just like to see the artwork, photos, video etc? Feel free to answer honestly, won't hurt my feelings.

The Garden

From the "Flower Picking" shoot. Someone told me it was good I got this shoot in before it got too cold, but I do have shoots where Steph did this same type of shoot in the snow...

Shaping Light

Memoirs of Steph post Shaping Light from patreon

The most recent edit from the "Light Sliver" shoot. The intent behind this shoot was to shape light on my subject. Curves and shape of her body accentuated the light shaping process.

Body and Mind

Memoirs of Steph post Body and Mind from patreon

On my server this shoot was simply named "body paint" 

I was commissioned to work for a make up artists and she asked me if I had any body painting experience. (I did not) So I painted Steph.

I put very little effort into this shoot because I was just testing out some body paint ideas. However Steph was treat...

Lunar Dust

Memoirs of Steph post Lunar Dust from patreon

Flour, posing, and lighting was the emphasis on last week's shoot. 

Apparently, some changes to the Patreon platform are coming soon, such as the addition to video features. As of now I have to link embedded videos from Vimeo to feature any video work, and Vimeo with my current plan only supports one video per week...

Hotel

Memoirs of Steph post Hotel from patreon

We were traveling for some client work and spent the night with some free time. We spent the evening and next morning taking some photos and videos.  Nothing too serious, just casual shots admiring her.

"The Muse"

Memoirs of Steph post "The Muse"  from patreon

This was the warm up shoot before our main "Lunar Dust" Shoot. Some of these went up on IG and I wanted to keep the gallery together, so here's what I have so far, nude and boudoir looks. 

Which photo is your favorite? What look suits her best? Boudoir model or nude model?

Monthly Gallery or Daily Photo?

As promised two galleries are coming this month, but moving forward would you prefer a Patreon only post per day (1-2 photo/video with insight) or a monthly gallery with 10-30 photos?

Again thank you for supporting.  The kind feedback has been very encouraging, and it's been nice to post work I have put a lot of ef...

Sunrise Swim

Memoirs of Steph post Sunrise Swim from patreon

Earlier this year, Steph and I took a morning hike to do this shoot; we were planning to do just a swim suit shoot and maybe a flowing dress in the water, stuff for IG. It was a secluded spot, but not secluded enough. When we got there, we came across another guy who was chilling in the water naked. So Steph did the same. I w...

I've get a lot of questions mainly on IG and my humble youtube channel on how to start in photography, what camera to get, and how to find clients or models. Rewind 6 years ag...

Photoshoot: Entrapment (Steph & Janelle)

Memoirs of Steph post Photoshoot: Entrapment (Steph & Janelle) from patreon

During the mess of 2020 I worked at a concert lighting warehouse. The owner had no gigs due to the closures so they would build lighting rigs and I would I would bring in clients (mainly music videos) but on the side we always made time for some creative projects. 

These photos are not technically correct in terms ...

What do you prefer, Strobe or Natrual Light?

A) Natural/Practical lighting

B) Strobe/Continuous lighting

I can never decide.

Spartan Queen

Memoirs of Steph post Spartan Queen from patreon

A client bought this helmet for a themed shoot and gave it to me afterwards a few years back. Naturally, I wanted to do some sort of Frank Miller "300" concept using a male model, however Steph was competing in fitness shows and training pretty hard, so I figured it would be cool twist in the theme to use her. 

I w...

Photography as Art? Part 1

It's something no photographer who has devoted time and money to his or her craft wants to question... is photography art? 

My dad and grandad were both great hobby photogs (back in the day when much more patience was required).  My grandad built his own pro level dark room to...

Photoshoot: Ropes

Memoirs of Steph post Photoshoot: Ropes from patreon

This was a concept I originally worked on with a fellow photog and friend Charles. We were playing around with the concept of using a rope.  We got some good shots, (obviously again keeping it IG safe) however later I wanted to try a concept with the rope holding her upside down, keeping it artsy but dark as if she were ...

Lighting

For the longest time I stuck with natural lighting because studio lighting or strobes and continuous intimidated me; additionally, lighting can get very expensive. When you finally do break into strobe or continuous photography for portraits, product photography, or even cinematography it makes all the difference and opens ne...

First Attempt

Memoirs of Steph post First Attempt from patreon

Throw back to several years ago, when I was starting out. I knew I had a good subject, but I had very little knowledge of manual camera settings, lighting, and as you can see I was using a bed sheet as a backdrop. 

Further more, I was not very good at posing my subject. However, I think she came up with some good p...

Gallery: Sunrise

Memoirs of Steph post Gallery: Sunrise from patreon

Back in 2020... nothing to do that morning when we got up. For weeks I had been admiring the light that came in through the window each morning. I went downstairs and got my camera; then woke her up to take photos. The photos you see here are the results, no makeup, no brushing hair, I wanted it as natural as possible. You ca...

White Out

Memoirs of Steph post White Out from patreon

High Key monochrome approach to nude art which is making its way to a few prints. A crop can work for this photo while making it a little more acceptable for wall art.

I wish I had taken a behind the scenes photo, but I used a 5 foot diffuser with a Profoto B1 head as the backdrop.

Creative Minds & Social limitations

On set with me on a production in 2020. The producer offered her a role, but she declined. Maybe one day?

If you are new to this page, so am I. This page was started after many years of being limited by social media's standards. I get being respectful and adhering to some rules, however I think we can all agree it was g...

Home Studio

One reason we can shoot so often and in a variety of concepts is the fact we have a home studio. From portraits to music videos it enables the creatives process.
