Crazy hiking up sometimes on all fours with gear to get these shots!
Throw back to last years shoot this time this year with You’ve been exploding since then. To your continued success!

A composite image I shot for to show off her newest art piece. To give this image a little more visual interest and story telling element I suggested photographing multiple images of her to blend together into one. To accomplish it I had my camera set on a tripod and connected to my computer to perfect the angle and composition. I then lit her main portrait with a Profoto b10 in a diffused medium white umbrella. The technique accomplished two things: 1) it blocked the harsh light from directly hitting her. 2) It was the source of soft and flattering light that we see on her. I noticed the shadows were still too dark on the otherwise of her face so I filled that in with another Profoto B10 modified with a zoom reflector at a lower power than the main light. This is an important nuance because we have to be careful to not flatten the contrast from the main light. It has to compliment it, not equal it. Since I shot on a trip I was able to manipulate all of these photos together and it allowed to easily take out the distracting light equipment. The end result is a polished image with visual impact that she can be proud to feature on her website.

I had the pleasure of photographing world renowned violinist, singer/songwriter and life coach Bruce Kirkwood earlier this year. Having traveled the world sharing his gift, he's performed for organizations and names such as the NBA, NFL, Oprah Winfrey Network, to name a few. Check out his music on Spotify and stay tuned for his upcoming Christmas EP that will be dropping later this year! A TRUE Artist!

Something I shot on a 115 degree June day where we all struggled to work in the heat!

On top of that every beige surface around us radiated it's own simmering heat. Never the less worth it because this art museum is something else. It was the perfect structural and geometrically dense backdrop for the model to contrast against. We kept the posing strong yet feminine to play with the shapes and lines the eyes see. I'm also a fan of very simplified color palettes that I think really add to the strength of the photo.

New work to highlight .reesor.art newest mural for an Airbnb property. These shots brought their own set of challenges including the morning sun casting distracting shadows on the art work. With A little patience, strategy, and luck we were able to pull off what we needed.

This is some ridiculously low shutter speed and mildly high ISO but I needed it to get the ambient light coming in behind to showcase the books with the higher aperture. I thought about gelling and strobing it to mimic the sun but it just would not have been as unique and natural. To me, the juice was worth the squeeze. I also decided to clone out the background stand altogether. While It’s intentional in my shots after letting my eyes take this image in I thought it too busy with the complexity of the books shelves right next to it. Not to mention the only thing that’s not in the same warm color family.

A big thank you to for inviting me and hosting my first workshop(years in the making) as a guest instructor for two back to back days. The first date sold out in 72 hours so we gave people what they wanted added another day. We went over types of light. The gear I use and why. How I edit and pose. Thank you to all those involved and for wanting to be a part of this. Stayed tuned for images with Alexandria] from day two. Alexandria] .robin

Hello friends. You’ve seen me post stories a couple times but we before we even made an official announcement our Day 1 workshop instructed by me sold out within days for May 22nd. Due to continued interest we have decided to add one more day for a separate class that will take place the day before also in Tucson. I look forward to meeting all of you who have signed up so far and can’t wait to share what I’ve learned over the last handful of years. A link to sign up for day two is below. Please thank for hosting this workshop and for being our model and last but not least for supplying us with their custom made wardrobe. We’re gonna have a blast.

REATLTORS - here are THREE ways to market yourself.

1. Generate a Strong Online Presence as a Real Estate Expert. Most people’s attention is online. Be online.
2. Build a website and blog. A website or blog is the foundation you need to start building up a consistent brand.
3. Hire a photographer. Well, that’s where I come in. Take pride in yourself and how you present your online brand. While social media is not especially tuned for people looking to buy property, it is still a place where you can reach their eyeballs and build a brand. A place for people to connect your face with value, insight, and even entertainment. You can use many strategies to build a brand on social media, but the most important thing is posting useful content and engaging material.
