Sally J delivers the goods!

July 27, 2009

A couple of months ago I did an all day shoot for local singer Sally J and today she stopped by my studio with a copy of her new CD! I dig what her designer did with my photos and think her recording sounds great.

The week before doing this shoot I watched Zack Arias’ One Light dvd and thought this was the perfect excuse to do most of my shooting with a single strobe.

The first two shots were done with a Canon 580 EX II, bounced into a silver umbrella. I tried an Elinchrom strobe, but it was just way too powerful for what I wanted.

The following two shots were done with a Ray Flash, which I bought specifically for this shoot because the local rental place didn’t have a ring flash available. Wish I would’ve thought to call Flashlight. I’m sure they could have hooked me up.

Let me know what you think. I’m pretty happy with the results.

What’s in a name?

This is a just a quick post so search engines find me whether my name is entered as Craig VanDerSchaegen or Craig Van Der Schaegen. That’s all.

Happy weekend!

Independence Day

July 4, 2009

Happy 4th! I figured I’d fire up the blog again and get back to what I used to do on my old photo blog and post photos regularly. I might need to find a new theme or modify this one so I can post larger images.
