Some select photos from my portfolio

Hey guys, here are some random photos that I've taken. I've been doing photography for a few years now, and it's been a fun hobby. I dabble in all sorts of photography, from portraits to candids, landscape to car photos.

FYI, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mk.ii, with mostly my Canon 24-70 f/2.8L and I do have my own lighting setup for my portrait photography.

Awesome stuff. Keep it up.

 

sick shots! those girls are fine, gimme some more pics of them in the.....nm....

 

Dope

 

Nicely done. My favorite is the 1 HWy pic. Beautiful.

 

Are you changing color tones in Photoshop? I'm a total amateur. I have a Canon Rebel and I wish my shots were half as good as yours!

 

Badass pics

 

Was fill flash used on the second to last pic? (girl in white dress)

 

thanks guys!

yep, that's one of my favorites as well. but no matter how nice the picture is...nothing compares to being there in real life. beautiful stuff. quite a journey to get to that spot, though.

no fill was used, surprisingly. i shot in manual mode so the subject wouldn't be underexposed (since the light source [the sun] was behind the subject, the camera will assume that the photo is bright and underexpose the shot. in manual mode i'm able to expose my subject correctly)...composed the subject right over the sun to give her a nice rim light and (intentional) glare.

thanks man! i do change my tones a little in photoshop to bring out some color, remove distracting colors, change levels a little. i always shoot in RAW format also, so that i have more control over exposure.

 

Nice work man!

 

those are great pics man love the one with the ar-15 if thats in cali i know thats not legal haha (unless it is a airsoft)

 

Those are really great shots!!

 

your landscape photos and that photo of your ex are really nice.

 

Thanks guys! Marlon that means alot coming from you haha.

haha correct sir. ARs are illegal here (lame) but that is an airsoft.

thank you! i love taking those types of pictures (landscapes and candids...not pictures of exs )

 

You've got some skills dude, you need to post up some more of your shots bro! Your portrait work is great to look at, you def have your lighting down!

 

More!
