Rainbow Crosswalk Long Exposure

This week, I’m sharing the behind the scenes of one of my favorite portraits: the Rainbow Crosswalk Long Exposure.

I love this photo. I love the composition. I love the location. I love the rainbow crosswalks in Atlanta, and this shot is one that I’ve been after for a while. I’ve even tried to get it before. The angle in this one was one of the most hard parts. The camera needed to be as high as it could safely be in order to get as much of the crosswalks as possible.

The next problem was the lighttrails. I wanted a ton of lighttrails in the background, which means a longer shutter speed. Well, the longer the shutter speed, the less likely my subjects are of being in focus because people naturally move. That’s where a good 2 hours of photoshop and camera magic comes in.

After all of my work, this is the shot I got. I love it, but I have learned from this picture. I even want to try the concept again!

60 Minute Portraits Session with Fede

Back in July, Fede asked me for a mini-session before she went out with her friends for the evening. Being the camera-obsessed man that I am, I agreed, and we went to the pond down the street for a session. The video takes you through some of my thoughts during the session as well as when I edited them. I hope you enjot the peak into my process. Don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to my channel. All prints are available here.

For those curious about my portrait sessions, I did capture more, but these were the ones that I got permission to share. Please contact me for portrait session inquiries.
