Aerial Jobsite Photography

I was in the air shooting for a few different construction companies the other day. The wind was pretty strong, and I have to admit, I was getting pretty nautious by the time I was done. The length of the flight and the constant jerking around was just too much for my poor stomach. Fortunately I learned from my last trip not to go on an empty stomach, and it wsn’t until about 3 minutes before we touched down that I started feeling woozy. I was able to get some great images of some of the largest construction sites in town though. Here are a few.

Custom Jewelry by Red Ginger

I recently shot some pieces for a local jewelry designer for her upcoming web sales site. She will be promoting her custom jewelry via the Etsy site under the name of Red Ginger. Lighting for this type of work is considerably intricate when you think about it. I had the items on a piece of glass above a white cyclic, then I had a piece of black material for the immediate background below the item. To ensure the light wrapped the pieces effectively, I had 2 soft boxes on either side, plus a soft source underneath for seperation. Then I also pushed a hard source in from one side to model the piece slightly.
