District Manager of Panera Portraits

The following images of the District Manager of Panera Bread were taken for my portrait class as an environmental photo assignment. All I asked for was 30 minutes of his time; as it turned out he allowed me to shoot the majority of the afternoon.

Paul and Summer

These are good friends of mine who are getting married. I will be taking their wedding photos. This outing was an attempt at developing a style for their photographs.

Portraits of Amanda Yager

I took some portraits of Amanda after we went shooting at the Cayote Bar. This is yet again for an assignment for my Portrait class. The strobe (flash) is supposed to be the main light source for this assignment. It also had to take place outdoors.

Dancing Chaps

This couple was great to photograph...they didn't seem to have any reservations about being in front of the camera...once again this could be because of the alcohol...

I also love the couple behind and to the right. Every photo I have of that couple in the background the guy is twirling the girl in the exact same way...I started to wonder what other moves they might have in their repertoire...if any.

Late night boogie

This particular photo was taken at Cayote Bar & Grill in Carlsbad, Ca. The manager was nice enough to allow me to set up a small studio lighting kit and photograph people dancing to a live band. No one in the crowd had any issues with being photographed...this could have been because everyone was a bit drunk. Amanda (a friend of mine) and I had a good time going trough the proper procedures to get the shoot in the first place. I found myself to be a lot more confident in a two man (man/woman) team. I would like to do this sort of thing more often.
