Recent Hardware Upgrades

Recently, I upgraded my photography equipment.

Prior to owning studio strobes and a background support, I was limited to natural light or shooting on location. As one can imagine, this presented many challenges in working with clients as the weather is not always favorable for shooting outdoors.

Though I have mostly shot outdoors, working with controlled lighting has been amazing. These recent samples provide a small glimpse of the possibilities at my fingertips when I am able to control the contributing variables in my shooting environment.

The Golden Rule

Photography: Julian Rance Makeup: Monique Branch Model: Erika Chase The Golden Rule is a theme created by make-up artist Monique "Mo" Branch. After working with Monique on several themed shoots, we decided to kick things up a notch and go in a different direction. Not only did we call on our muse, Erika , but we also decided it was time to place Mo in front of the camera. With that in mind, Mo decided to focus on contrasting skin tones, but added a unique twist that included flakes of gold and bronzer that created subtle golden highlights on her and Erika .

Pen Tablet vs. a Mouse for Photo Editing

For a little over a year I have been using a Wacom Intuous4 pen tablet to edit my images and absolutely love it. As a digital photographer, I enjoy the entire creative process from the moment I power up my Nikon D90 to the final clicks in my Apple Aperture software and now that I can remove the restrictions of using a traditional mouse, I'm having more fun with my digital work flow.

New Studio Space

I would like to announce a wonderful business partnership that has allowed me to secure a studio space just south of Charlotte. I'm looking forward to expanding my creative process as I now have a workspace that is dedicated to photography. I'll make sure I post a few updates such as images and video as I continue to create works of art.
