One Doc, One Light, Two Looks

I recently had the privilege of photographing Dr. Alan Miller at Baylor Hospital's new Sammons Cancer Center. The plan was to shoot Dr. Miller in his new lab, but with the grand opening about a week away, the lab wasn't photo ready. Plan B - photograph him in one of the spacious infusion rooms.

Not the most ~~photogenic~~, umm, it wasn't photo ready either. Plan C - panic. Looking around, I found a hallway leading off the infusion area that might provide a nice backdrop. I quickly set up one speedlight and a shoot through umbrella to get this shot.

I thought that I could make it a bit more dramatic or at least give it a more scientific/medical feel, so I gelled the flash with a full CTO, switched the camera's white balance to tungsten and came up with this.

Didn't change much, but got a much different feel, all in a couple of minutes.

April Fools Joke?

I found out Friday from Larry Lohrman over at the Photography for Real Estate site that my photo of the home below was their photo of the month. The theme was "Dusk" and mine was lucky enough to be judged the winner by members of the site. Great way to end the week and start the month. With this being tax season and you are wondering what to do with your refund, maybe a downpayment on this home would be a good option. Asking price - $11,500,000.

Here are a couple of more photos from the shoot that I really lilke.

Nice Surprise

iphone shot of my photo (upper left) in an ad

I recently found out a house I shot for Dave Perry-Miller & Associates was the lead photo in a Luxury Portfolio ad in the current issue of Luxe Interiors+Design magazine. I've been shooting for over 25 years and it is still exciting to see my photos in print. The house can be yours for just under 8 million dollars.
