Leave us a note if you’re in the reel - let us know who you are!

Thanks Zack - it’s always a pleasure my friend!  Chase - your hospitality is incredible + we had a blast at your studio.  Incredible. 

If you’re in one of these photos let us know!  + I’ve added a few extras to facebook with more on the way soon.

For the second year now, Gabe and I have been honored to host Zack Arias‘ OneLight Workshop. Last year we hosted the workshop in Seattle - I have to say the Portland crowd really stepped up to the plate and blew my expectations out of the water.

First off, we had 45-50+ photographers show up to the mixer (our pre-workshop party) Tuesday evening. The workshop itself went till 1am both nights…. yes I said both nights. We had an intense double header OneLight week.

Our venue this year was completely gorgeous; including a bear skin rug, Eames chairs and the works. Thank you to Chris, Jono, & Aaron at Parliament Design for graciously inviting us into their space.

… yes, that’s Shannon Sewell- I somehow talked her into stepping over to the other side of the camera and she nailed it.

In the back there with the black hat is Mike - he works for B&H (the worlds largest camera store in NY!) and goes to workshops to answer questions and hook people up with gear! He got me plugged into a drobo… beautiful…. drobo stands for Data Robot! So yes, now I have my own data robot! … what should I name him?

Zack has wolverine claws like Logan.

Below is Jessica Hill rockin’ the 60″ shoot through.

… this was a quick two light set up using a ring light on camera and a 20 degree grid on Gabe in the background. Oh yeah, Gabe rocked it as our model for part of the second day. Isaac Koval also GQ’d us in front of the camera.

This shot of Parrish was something I set up and snapped during our free time to try out our one light knowledge on our own.
