80's Birthday Prom Photos

20070919-DSC_4262

My photo workstation is fixed, and the 80's prom photos are online!

From the SmugMug gallery, you can purchase prints (at very low prices), or purchase the high-res (printable) versions of the photos for unlimited personal use. Buying prints and high-res photos helps me pay the bills so I can keep offering my photo services to the nightlife community at affordable rates.

Feel free to use Flickr photos for personal MySpace pages, etc, but please credit me so I don't have to start stamping photos with silly water marks. If you wish to use the photos for promotion or commercial purposes, please contact me for permission, first.

Merryl @ Johnny's on Second

Merryl

My very first shots of one of Merryl at the decks. She's a legend around here. We love her. I was thrilled to find out she was spinning at Johnny's tonight. I love the crowd there. If you want to meet some of SLC's best DJ's, promoters, and scene supporters, Tuesday nights at Johnny's on Second is absolutely the place to be.

2007-04-10 Sisters

Heidi and Jennilee

Well, I thought I was shooting graduation photos, but the weather didn't cooperate, so I ended up in Utah Valley with some free time and decided to pay an impromptu visit to my family with my camera gear. They weren't expecting a photoshoot, but we had fun with it, anyway.

Noah's

DSC_2523

We had so much fun at Noah's last time around, we decided to do it again. This time around there was a very cute baby to photograph. I did a lot of moody low-key shots with dramatic shadows this time, but I still show off my stylistic range with some normal exposures, and a couple of bright, sunny photos. I think it's important to cover a range of styles during a photo shoot. You never know what magic you could be missing if you always shoot straight (normal exposure).

Chillin' at Noah's

Thinking

Ramsey and some friends decided to go to a new place called MyNoah's and rent a billiard room for the evening. Of course, I took my camera with me...

More Strobist Fun

Jesse

I like the way this shot turned out -- particularly the hair highlights, and the light spilling over onto the change machine in the background.

Birthday Party - Strobist Style...

Jeremy and Owen

Jeremy and Heidi are a year older now. What better way to celebrate than with a little off-camera flash practice. Mostly hand-held flash, but I experimented with placing the flash on top of various surfaces, as well. Shooting in raw mode saved me. My screen was too bright, and I wasn't paying attention to histograms when I shot these pictures.

Photo Safari

Photo Wall

The Utah Photo Safari group met at the Salt Lake City Public Library to shoot strobist-style minimal off-camera flash photos. It was a lot of fun, and I eventually figured out how to fire my brand-new SB-600 with the remote CLS system built-in to my new Nikon D80.

Side Glow

Not much, but it's a good start. This is day two with the new camera, and I clearly need more practice with it. Here's a shot of the new kit:
