From the Archives: #001
AnnouncementsCommercialFrom the ArchivesPhotographyPortraits // Twitter / Facebook / Delicious / StumbleUpon / DIGG / Reddit

I was going through some photos I took over a year ago, and found myself looking at the RAW files with fresh eyes. I reprocessed the photo with my current toolset and it made me happy inside, so since it was older work (pre-blog), I decided maybe you all, my faithful blog-stalkers, might like to see my old junk…Please keep in mind, these were shot with my old Nikon D70.

I will add to this intermittently, but only if you all want me to. Let me know if you would like to see more of my old work. If anything, we can share in the humiliation and I can show you how far I am hopefully coming.

    WOW check out her eyes! Just awesome! Don’t knock the D70, I have one as my backup and they rock :)

  2. Dennis

    The movement in her hair is cool.

  3. scott neumyer

    Dude…that is an INSANELY good shot! Let’s see more from those archives. I love going back and finally some gems that I’d initially dismissed. :)

  4. Shannon

    Humiliation? How far you have come? Hmmm, apparently you have always rocked! Beautiful! And yes, love to see more :)

Dustin McKamie: Model

Dustin McKamie: Model

I had the opportunity to shoot a local actor, soon-to-be model last week. Dustin McKamie went to New York a few weeks back for auditions with over a thousand other talents, including my good friend, DJ Rouse.

Dustin came back from the event having been voted Actor of the Year and Male Fitness Model of the Year by the judging panel. The funny thing is, Dustin hadn’t ever modeled before! Now, armed with a full Steller portfolio, he is on his way to L.A. to start his new career.

We shot down on the Plaza…yet again. I think I shoot there too often!…Anyway, we got everything he needed to kick-start his portfolio and had a blast doing it.

Notes: Shot natural light, Nikon D200 with 50mm 1.4, processed in Adobe Lightroom with my exclusive Steller set of presets (coming soon to photographers everywhere!). Touch-ups in Photoshop.

    Dustin–

    Your work is really wonderful. Just last week I discovered that you’d started your blog back in June (hope WordPress is serving you well). Very nice.

    –Michael

  2. Shannon

    You rocked this one!! Love it- the model isn’t too bad on the eyes either ;) The variety you got is awesome. Such different looks/feeling with each of the different sets. Phenomenal work my man :)

  3. Kate Mefford

    Ummm. Wow. My lands, that boy is nice lookin’. Love the variety of this set, Dustin! Very sharp in all ways that the word sharp apply!

  9. Katie

  16. Zach McKamie

    Hey bro, i have forgiven you even though you stole all my women in high school making me a loser but now i am a teacher to the wonderful 5th hour class.

  17. MC "Baldy" Zach

    i wish i had your head of hair. You really need to post a picture of me with my fine, cute, hot girlfriend, Lauren. I think that I might propose to her soon and invite all my classes that i teach to the reception. You might not be my best man though you are my only bro. *not really MC
