One more from that tribal session with Tooley.
This shot is a bit more stylized, but also gives big hints on the lighting that was used for all three shots.

Another shot from my upcoming article. Since these were all from the same session, and the lighting is the identical, I think I will post them all. The article will include the lighting diagrams as well as camera settings, post-production details, and notes.
Most of my articles are pretty in-depth, but I am always open to new ideas if there is something you would like me to cover. You can view past ramblings here: www.sedetweiler.com
I am hoping to get it done this week, as long as I can get some time in the evening free from chores. :-)

I am new to the community, but thought I would share some inspiration from a woman I photographed a few months ago. She was 260lbs, 2 year ago, and decided to fix it at age 60! She dropped all her fat and ended up taking second place at our state fair in their body-building competition.

Here was my #selfysunday portrait for today. I was looking for something haunting yet featuring my new headphones.
Have a happy Father's Day!

Not only is today Father's Day, it also happens to be the birthday of my wonderful wife. For over 20 years she has been the perfect counter-part to my personality, given birth to our wonderful children, and been my best friend. Happy Birthday my bride!
This is one of the few times I talked her into being in front of my camera. She is pretty shy about that. :-)

I think this is the image I will deconstruct next on my blog .
I like to take some of my past work and show the lighting diagram as well as post-production steps. I will try and get this one done over the weekend. If you are interested in previous articles, you can read them here: www.sedetweiler.com.
If one of my images piques your interest and you would like me to deconstruct it, please let me know! Often it is difficult for me to know what images might reveal some useful tidbit to the reader. Or, are there any ideas on topics you would like me to cover? I have one suggestion on how to mix studio strobes and speedlights, and this image is a mix of sun and speedlight (as well as gels). I am open to ideas!

I have quite a few shots of this model wearing the suit-o-zippers and made those into #ingressenlightened styled shots, as you probably already know.
I think I might take these shots of her in this outfit and turn them into #ingressresistance . Would that work? As you can see from this image, it isn't extreme #steampunk but does have some elements of that style, but I think that works into the theme (especially my pistol). Thoughts?

Did a lot of #steampunk shooting on Sunday, and I have some ideas for future work for #ingress resistance because of it. Hopefully they will turn out as well as they look in my mind. Until then, enjoy this bit of steampunk love!

Had an awesome shoot this weekend and lots of potential material for publication. It is quite difficult to hold all of these images close to the vest, as I want to post them the second they are done.
Well, I figure I can let one or two slip out. :-)
Met this model yesterday and instantly put her into my muse category. Love her surreal look and features and I am sure going to make an effort to get some more time with her soon.

I love the fiction around +Ingress , so I am going to try and make an effort to get some more artwork done soon. Maybe I will do the resistance a small favor and make them an image? After all, we are trying to help them evolve. :-)
I would love some ideas on shots you feel would be interesting and fun to create. Any ideas? Be as specific as possible as "hot check hacking a portal", isn't exactly inspirational or detailed.

Ever notice in movies that the resistance always seems to be living underground and making weapons from palm fronds and snot? However, the other side has the advanced facilities, awesome tech, and hot babes?
Well, +Ingress seems to fall into this same situation. Enjoy your underground bunkers Resistance, the Enlightened have all the goodies this time (and the hot babes). :-)
This concludes the Ingress artwork I have shot to date. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know! I am happy to make some more if there are ideas out there. Love the fiction!

Another rare black and white from me. These figure shots seem to really like the contrast and texture of the black and white version. Maybe I should do more black and whites. hmm?
Is there a type of image where you prefer to use black and white?

Went out for a bike ride today as my wife did her morning run. I would bike around taking photos of things and then ride next to her for a while. I said to her, "let me know if you see anything interesting I can shoot." Without hesitation she said, "how about that skeleton?" Apparently she knows these trails pretty well. :-)

Went for an early morning walk today. I am trying to get outside earlier to get my morning cardio in before I change my mind and eat breakfast. Today I decided to take my camera with me, and although it holds me back from the occasional jog, it did give me a more sane reason for being up so early on a Saturday. Here is one of the shots from my jaunt this morning. I also stumbled on a HUGE duck sitting on his nest, so I hope to post that image soon as well.

One of the headshots from my recent "Crazy Hair & Make-Up" event. I always make sure to get a good headshot for the make-up artists and stylists, as often the full-body shots don't do their work justice.

For those of you who are unaware, I started getting into shape in October and look quite a bit different now. As part of that change, diet was the top priority, and that meant leaving behind some things I used to eat and left me seeking alternatives.
Getting creative in the kitchen today yielded this experiment, which we can chalk up to an abject failure. I learned a lesson about sweeteners and how they can be "baked out" of something. I will attempt this again soon, but with some adjustments.
It looks great, but was not sweet enough for consumption by those not willing to just "eat for a goal" and have the silly requirement of enjoying their food. :-) I will probably finish them over the next few days and try again with Stevia in the mix. I made the false assumption that the almond milk would be sweet enough to carry picky eaters that needed their sugar fix.... more »

Some new work premiering today.
I shot this when I was in my last studio, so this was sometime early last year.
I was looking through old images, and every so often I find one that I now have inspiration to complete. Being that I am more of an artist with a camera than a photographer, I don't just take the images a face value and disseminate them. I often want to tell a story in such a way as it could not have been captured in-camera. Of course, I still have to get the lighting and pose right, but once I have that in the can, the sky is the limit.
The reason this one was skipped initially was that I had already published another image from the same session, and I don't care for images that are similar. I was waiting for an idea so I could complete this one with a different look and story. Both of these shots are now quite unique (the other one is here, fo... more »

It is now complete with a lighting diagram as well as the post production workflow and some witty banter.
