The real estate client requested this be shot with an empty parking lot and a focus on this particular entrance. Using Canon’s 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens was ideal for this photo shoot.

Titan Missile Rescue Training
What a fabulous location photography shoot!! Not only was being inside a missile silo incredibly interesting, but these rescue trainers do amazing work training a range of professionals in the most frightening environments. On top of it these guys experience life not only noble and heroic, but few of us get to observe. It was a privilege to spend the day with them.
Dangling from a rope doesn’t seem to faze these guys. They are more fascinated with the metals and alloys used in their safety gear and tripods! Our photographer, while standing on a side rail, did ask if someone might hang on to him by his belt as he shot aiming 100+ feet down! Much laughter and great time!
Equipment used:
Canon 5d Mark III
Canon EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

Food and Product Photography
Food product photography is fascinating. Take a pile of grains, seeds or powder and find the best arrangement of the pile. How to sprinkle just the right amount of spread, where to stop the bulk of product and control powder spillage is critical. Stacking the chunky ingredients begins with balancing the chunks, then rearranging to create the visual look of the interesting sides and of course the crumbs. It takes a fair amount of time to get some test shots for the client to choose from. There is a beauty in ingredients!
Equipment Used:
Canon 5d Mark III
Canon Macro Lens EF100mm f/2.8
Multiple Softboxes
Multiple Gradients

Jewelry Photographer in Tucson
Product on white photography is at its best when jewelry is the object. The gorgeous reflective surfaces create light magic on their own. Adding photographic lighting which is then manipulated to capture the most interesting reflection is the fun part. Every nuance of the camera changes the drama. That also makes it one of the most challenging product photography sessions. So many choices!
…and waiting until the necklace stops swinging!

Medical Lab Equipment Photograhy
Mobile medical lab modules are fabricated to maximize space with sophisticated specialized testing equipment and necessary counter space. This session used existing light. Details were important and close ups in a tight space yet give the prospective buyer a more accurate image of the space. Wide angle lenses distort erroneously depicting interiors larger than actual feel.
Close ups show details:
Capturing the working surfaces, cabinetry and height capacity are marketing points:
Once again-Canon 24-70mm lens gives all the necessary flexibility.

Commercial Real Estate Photography
For realtors selling commercial property eye-catching photos are essential.
But commercial buyers want to see beyond the building: the neighboring businesses and their adjacent signage and properties; views from long angles, across interactions; what is the traffic visibility of the property; any unsightly obstructions which distract from the property.
And of course strategic 360 angles.
Equipment used:
- Ladder
- Hat
- Sunscreen
- Canon 24-70mm Lens and patience for the sun to move for optimal composition

Car Detailing Tool – Product Photography
This was a fun product shoot. All the tiny and large attachments of this car detailing set needed to highlight how the tools and attachments are used. A show and tell project!
It’s helpful to have a gorgeous car’s paint job for the background. Any product staging or styling demands planning and set-up is always lengthy. There is no such thing as “an easy shoot”. The results are worth it. Once the car was in place all dust had to be removed, and monitored as we moved equipment around. Tarps we hung on the walls to help minimize reflective lighting interfering with our lighting.
Angling the softbox for the right bounce is the fun part!
These were all shot with 1 softbox, using a Canon 24-70mm lens.
Health Food Bottles – Product on White
Dark glass bottles shot on white background are a challenge. (The largest bottle above is plastic.) The goal is to manipulate a soft subtle reflection on the face of the glass. Backlight was critical to bring out the depth of the bottle without blowing it out. The backlight had to be focused and controlled. We shot 90 products in a range of sizes all light modifiers had to be adjusted for each size and shape.
We used no flash, multiple diffusers, continuous lighting, 100mm 2.8 Canon Macro lens and one softbox.
Staff Portraits in Tucson
This lifestyle portrait session began with a rather grey room, but after a bit of dressing up, drive in a vehicle and add lighting-bingo; the stage was set. Props add to a portrait-mining maps, or in the case of our next geologist a smile and a pick hammer! These guys were a lot of fun. It’s always a pleasure to work with people who love their work.
We brought in 3 Arri Lights, 1-750 watt and 2-650 watt for stunning atmosphere.
Everything was shot on a tripod using a Canon 24-70mm mark 2 lens and Canon 5D Mark 3. The staff photos turned out wonderfully!
