New Year, New Fun

New Year, New Fun

Seems everyone wants to learn how to use their camera, so my photography classes have been filled.

Boudoir photography sessions have slowed down, but will pickup again for Valentines day.

Sometimes I get clients for maternity photographer work the were boudoir clients before.  Hmmm, I wonder.


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.

 



CinemaTique and More

Orcatek Photography is now working with CinemaTique Creative Group to produce an wide variety of project including UFOria TV, Soldier (a new docudrama), music videos and educational services.

Of course we will still provide all the services we are known for such as amazing boudoir photography, beautiful maternity photographs, cute newborn photos, head shots, automotive photography and photography classes and workshops.


Guess What

Time to catch everyone up on what has been happening here at my Phoenix Studio. Okay, technically Tempe, but drive 1/2 mile north and you are in Scottsdale, and 1/2 mile west and you are in Phoenix, so close enough.

I have been teaching more introduction to photography classes than I can count. Lots of eager students. I love teaching.

Doing more pin-up than usual. The studio is a great place for pin-up photography. Here is a sample pin-up I call Windy Day.

I always like to create something in the classic style of some of my favorite vintage pin-up artists like Gil Elvgren.

And just in time for Father’s Day I had the chance to create this touching father and son photo of a newborn baby and his dad.

Hope to be a little sooner with my next update to what is happening here in Phoenix with your favorite photographer, Orcatek.


Little of Everything

Did a little of everything since my last post.  Here are some of my favorites.   Let’s start with some dance and ballet photos I did of Katey.

Hope to see you in my Phoenix photography studio soon to create some great photos.

 


Keeping Busy

Valentines Day had my swamped with boudoir photo shoots. I know there were a lot of very happy guys.

In between there were quite a few maternity photos done too. I wonder if any were a result of a boudoir photo shoot gift.

Lots of headshots, I even found some of my work on IMDB, which is always fun.

I did a news story on being a Google Trusted Photographer which can be seen on ABC 15 here in Phoenix. If you want to learn more, visit my Google Trusted Photographer Phoenix website.

I taught a lot of photography classes this month too! It’s been great to be so busy.


15 Minutes of Fame

The wives on Vh1’s Baseball Wives show decided to make a charity pin-up calendar.  I was selected to be the photographer for the project.  I had so much fun working with these women on their project.   Everyone treated me great and I hope to work with them again in the future.

I appeared in two episodes which can be see on Vh1’s website or on TV.  I am in Episode 2 doing the actual photo shoot and in Episode 4 where we discuss the retouching they would like.  All I can say is that we had a lot of fun, you’ll have to watch both episodes to see.  I am in the second half of both episodes.

Watch them here:  Baseball Wives


Last minute updates

My photography workshops and classes are becoming very popular.   I have been teaching at least one class a week and have had private lessons in between.

The holiday season is a prime season for boudoir photography, which is why I have been lacking in my blog updates.  Lots of men will be getting a very special present this year.

I also shot a lot of maternity and newborn photographer sessions.  Some amazing new families came in for their shoots with some of the cutest newborn babies.

And of course the rest of my time was filled with holiday portraits.

Have a safe and fun holiday season!

 

 


Holidays are already getting busy!

Did some more filming for the reality show as a photographer.  Hopefully I won’t end up on the cutting room floor.  I will keep you posted as to when it airs.

Had some real fun creating this maternity photo recently.   I am always looking for new ideas.
