Summer 2010 Quiksliver / Living Water Surf School Surf Camps

This summer I teamed up to shoot the Quiksilver / Living Water Surf School Surf Camps in Boca Raton and Pompano Beach, FL.  My friend Skeeter Zimmerman charges it with his crew of counslers for 11 weeks all summer long.  Every kid gets there very own fisheye water shot in a frame at the end of camp from Boca Raton Photography and Design!  How many camps provide that!  Here are a few shots from the first  4 weeks of camp.

How I got this shot.... Stevie Andrew Who Da Guy in Eastern Surfing Magazine

Above is an article profiling Stevie Andrews, a local shredder from Deerfield Beach, FL.  I wanted to give some insight on how I got both the portrait and the half page action shot in the July 2010 issue of ESM magazine.  The action shot was taken while on a trip with the Island Water Sports team to  Nicaragua in November 2009.  On this particular day of the trip we took a boat and found this break just reeling off the rocks all by itself.  The shot was taken with a Canon 1d Mark 3 and Canon 70-200 2.8 IS L lens.  I was bobbing around in a boat even with the breaking wave, with an excellent boat driver, even though he had no toe nails.....!  It was late afternoon so the sun was starting to set, creating a nice contrasting background ad asymmetrical light on the surfer.  According to Surfing Mag's Jimmy Wilson, this place has not been shot before, that he has seen, which I thought was pretty lucky that we caught it the way we did.  The shot was cropped a little with minor adjustments in photoshop.  The portrait was taken in a parking lot as the sun was setting with one light ( a canon 580ex with small chimera soft box attached to a light stand) about 7ft above and to his right being held by my fellow photog and good friend Nathan Hamler.  I was trying to get a more dramatic and serious pose out of the shot.  Thanks to Stevie for ripping!   P.S. try to ignore the half naked dude in the ad on the right, that is not my image!! lol

Tanner Strohmenger shot in July 2010 Surfing Mag NSSA preview

Tanner charged it on a sketchy close out at the Road, breaking his board to get this shot.  Its a spread in the July issue of Surfing Mag NSSA preview issue.  Thanks Tanner and Jimmicane for making it happen.

Exterior Residence we shot

This is one shot of a couple we did for an exterior of a residence in Hollywood, FL.  It was shot on a tripod with a Canon 1ds Mark 2 and Canon 16-35 II 2.8L lens exposed for a few seconds.  The house was occupied and the family had the coolest dog ever.  He is in some of the interior shots, I will show you later. 

Recent Logo we designed for South Florida Bike Expo

I actually really enjoyed the outcome of this design considering the specs and time frame I was given.  I custom made a few of the letters and of course the rider.  For all you bike nerds out there, you should go to the event.  Its a one weekend bike everything in Ft. Lauderdale.  Here is the event page my client made for the event for more details.  http://www.southfloridabikeexpo.com/clubs.shtml

Pro Mod Dragsters

Last week I went along with my buddy and his 5 second 2000 horsepower rocket they call a Shelby and shot him and his friends cars.  They prep the cars for hours and run it down the track like 3 times all day into the night.  Cost thousands and usually something breaks.  I also posted a shaky video shot handheld with my 500 mounted to my 5d to give you an idea of being there.  I think I will stick to pedal power.
