Scouting and Lighting Work

11 more days till I set out for Thailand and i’m hurrying to tie up all my loose ends on the states side. I don’t want to head to Thailand unprepared along with edits still open on my desktop and lots of work left to do when i come back. I’d rather come back with only Thailand and my future weddings to worry about. So among the many many things i’ve been doing, I went ahead and did a scout session at disneyland for Eileen and Brian’s E-Session next month. Gaby and my passes expired last week so we made sure to make it before we got the boot. We met up with friends Jeannie and Ralph who were happy to pose last minute for us and I got to experience with light balance, probably the most important thing about impromptu lighting. I got some good ideas, solid compositions, and was happy with the balance in the end result. What topped it all off was while we were in front of the castle that night, we saw a couple just get engaged, well I saw the end as the guy got up from his one knee, but everyone else saw it! Either way I was privileged to take a few shots for them so they could remember their amazing moment. Hope you like the scouting shots!

this last one was taken by ralph. Thanks Ralph!

Lexationships Preview – JustinElement Studio

Hello readers! Guest bloggers today from Lexationships, Marc Abrigo, James Lontayao, and DJ Good Journey will be taking the helm today. They are a comedy team of energy, spirit, and passion and can be seen world wide EVERYWHERE. These three are the funniest 3… straight guys, I know. Hope you enjoy!

So, when we came in today for this shoot, our main objective was simple: don’t look like idiots (difficult, considering it’s our specialty). However, thanks to the creative vision and artistically-discerning eye of one Mr. Element (totally fake name, by the way), he managed to make us look… well… kinda cool. Now, just for the record, the preview image you’re seeing above was COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL. The poses, the wardrobe, the somewhat awkward facial expressions — NOT PLANNED. Thankfully, Marc’s nearly-obsessive love for the Brothers Jonas proved quite the boon and was brought to Justin’s attention. As of now, we are absolutely loving the picture, and are currently trying to figure out how to kill those three and claim this pose as our own. Look forward to the rest of the shots, J-Element/Lex fans — we look like total tools in those, as well!

<3 Marc, James, DJ Good Journey
