Sally J delivers the goods!

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!

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.
