Give me some ideas guys!!! What kind of things are you needing help or want to see?

This is a session that created my very first international award called “Dirt Angel” that can now be viewed in a portrait album in the Smithsonian Museum!!😊

When you think of a pose? is it easy to think of? can you think right away how to pose them? Truth is Posing is person specific always! there's poses that will work with women that wont work with men and there's some that work for smaller people that won't work with bigger people and so forth and so on! coming soon, you will have access to a full course on how to pose based on scenery and personality until then take a look at this! notice the scenery notice the outfit it all goes together and a standing pose really shows off the contrast

Next week, free class on creating exciting and compelling composites!!

If you want your sports portraits to hit different, lighting is the secret sauce. Cameras don’t make magic — light does. Here’s the playbook: ⚡ Directional Light = Drama Side lighting adds muscle, texture, and intensity. Flat light is for ID photos… not athletes. ⚡ Hard vs Soft Light Hard light = gritty, ESPN vibes. Soft light = polished, magazine-ready. Pick your weapon wisely. ⚡ Background Matters Dark backgrounds = power and focus. Grungy textures = attitude. Don’t let clutter steal the spotlight. ⚡ One Light Setup = GOAT You don’t need 5 strobes. Master ONE light first. Placement > gear. ⚡ Pose With Purpose Athletic stance. Chest up. Chin down. Confidence sells the shot. Remember: You’re not just taking a photo… You’re building a hero poster.
