Ever needed to create a studio look outside? Well, that's what I did last night at my workshop. Having portable LED lights and a few tripods can enable you to do just that...and the results are AMAZING! Can't wait to share pics!!

This image was taken at my workshop in Miami last night in the Wynwood area which is the artistic portion of downtown where all the crazy people like me congregate. There are so many advantages to using video light over flash in a situation like this one. For starters it's easier to focus and pose the model because you can see. Secondly there is no bounce back nasty reflection on the wall from a flash being fired. Third, you can get beautiful even lighting over a great portion of the wall. I love my Rotolights!!

I snapped this shot of my group as they were taking a break during my Supernatural Shoot at the Moundsville State Penitentiary. I was on the upper levels just outside of the jail cells and was starting to work my way down when I saw them and took the picture. This is a good representation of what these shoots are like. It was pitch black and the only illumination on this shot came from the two Rotolights that we were using as flashlights at the time. Y'all have to join me on one of these, they are so much fun!
This image was taken at my Supernatural Shoot at the Moundsville State Penitentiary on Tuesday. This was shot without flash, using three Rotolights, one behind her and two in front, to the left and the right. I had a challenge from the group to do a shoot using Walmart clothes...so I took the challenge, went into the local Walmart about 10 miles from the penitentiary and in 20 minutes bought the hat, skirt, jacket, and did the shoot!
We had an amazing time and I thank everyone who came to shoot with me. This Supernatural shoot was truly unforgettable!

So who else does model fashion shoots inside of haunted places like the Moundsville State Penitentiary...just me baby. This is a production still from the Supernatural shoot on Tuesday that was literally out of this world. It was straight out of a movie, a thunder and lightning storm moved into town immediately as we arrived, and we went around calling for the ghosts it started to pour, as soon as we stopped, it stopped. Don't believe me? We have all the video to prove it.
In this shot you see our gorgeous model Rachel who I was posing at the visitation booths where they would use a telephone handset to talk to the prisoner on the other side of the wall. Just wait until I start showing you shots from "The Hole" where I had one of the best shoots I've ever done. Because of the thunder storm the water leaked through the walls and down into "The Hole" which was isolation where they locked up the prisoners who were the worst of the worst. With the water coming down the walls it left 2 inches of water on the dirt floor...it was just epic. Can't wait to edit and post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again for these amazing Rotolights....I need to buy stock in their company because all my students are buying them! Thanks to all my assistants Vanden, Faye and Joyce for doing so much...I love you guys.
