Fashion Photography Workshop!

A look into the fashion photo shoots by students in our Fashion Photography Workshop! Students learn each week about all the basic lighting and into the more specific and advanced lighting techniques to step up their fashion photo shoot skills. The students have plenty of time shooting our models with each of the lighting setups. This class, as well as all our specialty workshops have smaller class sizes so each student has plenty of shooting time with the model to try out their new skills. In addition, the students have one-on-one time with the instructor to ensure their understanding of what their learning and to get their questions answered!

SCC Fashion Photography Workshop!

Orcatek Photography Studio was once again the host for the annual fashion photography workshop for Scottsdale Community College photography students. Students got the opportunity to experience and learn all the components of working on and running a real photo shoot using models, props, and all the lighting techniques and skill that goes into getting that perfect shot. Workshops like this give the students the opportunity to take the skills they learn in the classroom and put them into a real world setting as a photographer.

 


Model Portfolio Photos!

Here’s a behind the scene’s look at the Orcatek photo shoot for a private client’s modeling portfolio! Don’t just trust anyone with your modeling, acting or business photos. Especially for the entertainment industry, your photos, headshots and portfolios will either book you a job or get you passed by and onto the next model or actor. With your image and work on the line, give yourself a leg up above the rest of your competition by showing up to all potential jobs with a portfolio of professional photos from Orcatek!


Modeling Headshot Photos!

Let’s face it, your image is everything. This is especially true in business and attempting to sell yourself and services. This headshot for teen model, Jaden Sample will help her to book jobs and build her modeling career. Your headshot photo can be used on business cards, websites, social media, political ads, and for the entertainment world…your headshot and resume combined are what get you an audition or meeting to book jobs. With this being said, your headshot should be done professionally and not a quick picture taken with a cell phone. We have years of experience with photographing headshots for all fields of work!

 

 


Update Your Headshots!

Actors, models, executives…now is the perfect time to update your headshot photos! It is very important to keep your headshot photos current and updated every few months. A fresh new look represents a fresh new you in presenting yourself to the world, future clients and potential jobs you’re trying to book. In addition, headshot photos are also used on dating sites…present the best images of yourself when looking for that perfect match!

So much to talk about

First of all, I have been teaching constantly.  And I have schedule a lot of photography classes and workshops.  So now is the time to learn all my tricks.

I played around with water for a bunch of boudoir photographs.  Be sure to check them out.  Next summer I will be doing this again.

And maternity and newborn photography is always popular.  I love it when my maternity clients return for their newborn photos.  It lets me enjoy a bit of that special time in their life.

 



Models Everywhere

This week was full of models coming in for portfolio updates.  Some were experienced and some were just beginners.

In between I managed to shoot a few headshots for a couple of executives.

Over the weekend I taught my Introduction to Photography class.  It was a huge success and I got several emails from students telling how I had helped them.


Man it’s hot

Summer is here and it is hot, hot, hot!   To start it off the week I shot some fitness photos of a model for a calendar.

And of course to keep the heat on we had plenty of boudoir photography sessions taking place.   This shot of August was just a little tease.

And to end the week a fun newborn photograph is always a favorite.
