Robert Torres Photography - A Photographic Journal of cats, dogs, people, places and various and sundry things
I tried out the AB 22′ Beauty Dish for the first time on Kerri and I was definitely not as comfortable with this light as I am with a softbox. Still getting comfortable with the way the light hits the face and I found that I needed hair light on the opposite side of her head. I used a 20 degree grid for that. Just a white seamless in the background with no light. The first 2 shots below are with softbox and the bottom 2 are the BD in case you notice the catch-lights.
Gorgeous as always. =)
I photographed a really nice wedding last weekend with Jessica as my second shooter/assistant on a beautiful humidity-free day in Providence. This was an outdoor home wedding with the ceremony and reception in the backyard. (My own wedding was simple and small like this so I related to the intimacy of the setting.) The bride was a little nervous and stressed beforehand – understandably – so she passed on the pre-ceremony photos and we only photographed the groom getting ready. The photos of their young son that I begin and end this post with express pure joy and everyone there shared in his and his parents’ most joyful day.

wonderful shots!
This was so much fun! I love these shots and can’t wait to see the others sometime.
You lived to see another day little mouse but you’re playing with fire. Finn and Kitty have had you in their mouths, squeezing hard enough to puncture your warm little belly, but they chose to play capture and release with you instead of taking advantage of a free meal. They’re house cats so they don’t understand this concept of food not coming from a bowl. Maybe you understand this little mouse which is why you risk eating their food. Next time they may realize you would be a tasty snack or perhaps they will decide to leave your stiff little corpse on our bed as a special present for all that we do for them. Especially Kitty as he’s kind that way. I’ve stepped in twice to take you out of their jaws and set you free to live another day but now you’re really tempting fate and the next time they catch you I won’t intercede. So best of luck little mouse and do what you have to do to survive. I will admit that you are a brave little mouse.

Awesome!
This is hysterical. I’m surprised Willa hasn’t eaten him yet. =)
The ferocious wila feral just wants to eat lettuce ironically.
I’m really enjoying this new Sony A850 full frame and I’m loving the results in my studio. I’m lucky enough to have a friend like A who, in addition to being a virtuosic violinist, can bring that passion and style to whatever she wears. So she brought over a bag of clothes and posed for me for a few hours this week. These are just a few of my favorites we did in the studio and then we went outside to shoot in the lushy green wetlands. A beautiful little red dragonfly calmly perched itself on a branch between the camera and A and seemed to enjoy watching us.
