Senior Cheer Shoot

So it's been awhile since my last post but I've definitely been keeping busy!  

Through trial and error, I've developed a nice preset I've been using quite a bit lately as it seems to work on just about any of my images.  I've applied some variation of it to all of the images below which were taken recently during a spontaneous shoot at the local high school football field.

If you're interested in setting up a shoot of your own, just let me know at info@cmartcreations.com 

New Portfolio Site!

I've re-opened my SmugMug site to securely publish photos from all photo shoots.  This is where you can go to view your proofs, order prints, and view and order anything from my public portfolio.

Currently there isn't much there, but I'll be adding more over the next couple of weeks.

See you there!

Off the Beaten Path - Mulhauser Barn

Spent time today exploring new shoot locations and came across Mulhauser Barn in Beckett Park.  Been in and around Westchester for several years and for whatever reason never came across the park.  A biking/walking trail surrounded the area filled with wildflowers, birds, fishing ponds and plenty of places for some great shots.  I'll definitely have to come back.

Apocalypse

I haven't posted in awhile but have been quite busy.  This is actually the second version of a photomanipulation created from an original picture taken by my daughter.  After first editing in Lightroom, spent about an hour cutting out the hip hop team.  From there combined a number of photoshop tricks to generate the checkered floor, floor light effects, shadows, star background, stars and exploding dead planet. I finished it up with some color blending and lighting effects and added the text.

Team Apocalypse

Mixed a little hip hop with the streets of Cincinnati and an accidental text effect and there you go...
