I am a mentor for students at Westlake High School for the Independent Study Program for those students who want to learn photography. This semester Krishan, one of my two mentees wanted to shoot a car portrait so I treated him to a Luxury Car Portrait with a Model. Fortunately, I have a buddy who has a spectacular home and a Bentley in the garage. Summer was the model, and Jeff Zavala of Z Creative Media shot this lovely video of the photo shoot. At about dusk, we first shot a set of bracketed images of the car only. Then we walked around the car spotlighting it so we could paint in those lit spots in Photoshop later in post. Then we brought Summer in and shot her with several different poses.
Student Housing Pool Deck
Student Housing Pool Deck at 191 College
This is a great example of one of American Campus‘ student housing Pool decks. It is at 191 College in Auburn Alabama. The lighting at night is really spectacular. When shooting architectural photography like the student housing pool deck, I try to shoot as much as I can 30 minutes before sunset to about 30 minutes after sunset. When the ambient light get closer to matching the interior or deck lights, the combination is very lovely.
