Windy morning in Miami

Here is one I shot this Saturday. It was so windy out I only got 2 shots in before packing up and leaving. It was so uncomfortable being out on the beach, we kept getting sand blasted and everyting kept getting tipped over, however the photos turned out ok. I always say crazy weather makes good pictures. Here is a full tutorial on how I shoot this kind of photos.

Settings: 10 stop ND filter 77 seconds F16 ISO 100

Kitchen Love

I did a photoshoot of this beautiful home a while back, but the best part was the kitchen. I cook a lot so I can appreciate a nice kitchen. This one felt so airy and inviting, that I wanted to translate that into the pictures. I used a wide angle and a speed light to splash light in the walls. I was exposing for the outside to get all the greens to come through the windows. I have a new Realestate photography course coming out in the next couple months. For now check out my Real Estate Photography Presets.

Kissed by the sun

Rise and shine, today is the best day ever!!! I woke up at 4am to track Mathews but it is still very peaceful here in Miami. I went to the beach and it was completely empty (even after the sun came up), there is a mild wind carrying an eerie energy with it. There are city workers cleaning up the beach preparing for Mathews, who knows what is going to happen. Here is what I saw, I felt I was being kissed by the sun. This was shot on Oct 5th before hurricane Mathew…
