I recently completed a portrait shoot for a Senior. We had the weather hold out and some interesting sky for the outdoor portion of the shoot. We used some off camera flash to give some life to the photos. The subject was great to work with and I am happy with the results that we were able to achieve. Also had some indoor high key photos with a Lastolite Hilite. Here are a few shots from that day in a little video.
Here are a couple of partial previews of custom photo books from different portrait sessions. The ability to create a custom book with so many photos and personalized text is a great value. The books are of great quality and will be a source of enjoyment for many years to come. They look great on anyones coffee table and permit the photos to be easily enjoyed without finding photo albums or trying to find them on the computer. They are truly portable and easily shared and enjoyed with others. This is another personalized service offered by ionuphotos.

It was an overcast day that allowed this photo to be taken with nice soft shadows and the subject able to have a beautifully relaxed face. By that I mean that she did not have to squint as is often the case with some outdoor portraits when the sun is shining. Too often people are left to face the sun and have to battle the bright rays in the eyes. The overcast sky worked like a giant softbox and allowed me to capture a nice portrait.
But….(there is always a but with us photographers) I wanted something with a little more impact. The model is beautiful and I think that this image stands on its own but I wanted to be able to really have her beautiful eyes come through in the portrait. So with the camera settings the same I added some off camera lighting to enhance the model. The hair fan was courtesy of Mother Nature.
I think the final result really shows the impact that the off camera flash can have on taking outdoor portraits to the next level. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
This is a Slide show of a few photos that I have taken over the course of the senior year of the Class of 2011 at AAS. They are a great group that have a bright future ahead of them. I have known some of them since they were in sixth class and it has been a privilege to watch them change from enthusiastic child to mature adult. I wish them all the best for their future.

Welcome to ionuphotos on the web. This site will be an ongoing change of happenings and events in the world of ionuphotos and photographer Andy Lang. The content will vary and probably be scattered in thought as it works itself out, such is the life as a Photographer. We try to capture the world in an interesting way that will cause others to slow down for a moment to appreciate some story or at least wonder what the hell we were doing in order to get that image.
To start things off lets look at the image below. This happens every day in your life but it happens so fast that we do not see it with our naked eye. It could be a drip from the sink or a raindrop into a puddle. I like the fact that photography allows me to show things that others may not or can not notice. Thanks for stopping by, TNT.
