A few weeks back, Jared another photographer here in Dallas lined up some models for a fun little meet-up that he called a “shootout”. What’s a shootout? I didn’t know either, but I knew it sounded like fun, so I was in! So, a dozen or so of us Dallas Photogs got together to shoot a couple that is recently engaged for a dozen or so different points of view. I knew we had a bunch of available light shooters, so while I did shoot some available light, I decided to try and use more light and provide a little different look and hopefully I achieved that. Some of the other photographers in attendance were: Allison Davis, Amy Karp, Andrea Crosswhite, Catie Ronquillo, Celina Gomez, Jared Rey, Jason Huang, Jason Anderson, Magaly Abbott, Stacy Reeves and Stephen Brown if you’d like to see their blog-worthy pics as well. It was a ton of fun and I met some new people, even learned I had a blog stalker, so I guess I need to blog more often and make my one stalker happy! Enough babble, you’re here for the pics!
Meet Tod and Ashley!
Now I must mention again, a dozen or so photographers are all shooting pictures at the same time, so imagine the paparazzi shooting an engagement and you are there!
You know, I luv my blue skies!
Behind the scenes, you’d occasionally see a photographer posing and directing like Stacy below…
One of the problems, when trying for a wide angle shot like below, you had too many photographers in the way… But that’s okay!
Cuz Jason is more than willing to stand in once everyone moves spots!
Back to those gorgeous blue skies, I loved this one…
And I’ll toss in one SOC (Straight Outta Camera) so that you don’t think it’s all photoshopped.
Did I mention there were a bunch of photographers there? Sometimes they even were in charge of hair, like Jared below.
Which made it easy to snag pics like this…
and another little behind the scenes look at a few of the photographers in attendance, and my light of course!
It wasn’t all work though, there was plenty of footsie playing and leg rubbing going on, but I can’t tell you who was rubbing on Tod’s leg.
Like I said, I did shoot some available light…
And some light that was available to me…
And a little different light that was available was the mini-frezzi video light…
Afterwards, we even did dinner and you’ll have to try and guess who’s fake birthday resulted in a chicken on their head…
