RAYMA 2021 // RED

 

At this point, it’s an annual tradition for Rayma and I to collaborate on some kind of a shoot together. This one is no different from that ! Except with the difference that this shoot was something we’d been planning for a MUCH much longer time than normal…almost a whole year !!! Normally it wouldn’t take that long but y’know….intense things happening in the world. Uploading this from our 2021 shoot just because I was taking a little trip down the archives this weekend.

This project is a dedication to the color red. Or at least, it was supposed to be. We assembled a mood board, collected inspiration, made a plan. But as soon as we got to the studio to shoot, we literally took 1 test photo and realized that it just wasn’t gonna work haha! And so a hard pivot was the next move.

Shot on Sony A7iii, with the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8, Sony 85mm f/1.8, Sony 24-70mm GM f/2.8.
Lit with one 32” Octa on a Flashpoint strobe.

Katy + Gabriel // middle of the woods

 

Something we as photographers rarely talk about is how we go about the process of shaking off the rust after a period of inactivity, usually after the December/January holiday season.

This past winter as a way of saying thank you to all my friends who have referred work to me I decided to hold a giveaway of sorts! That giveaway would give one couple a free shoot, at a time/location of my choosing. Naturally, I couldn’t be more excited when I drew the names of good, old friends Gabriel Auch and Katy Shen!

And so, this session was how I un-rusted myself after a couple weeks of being away from shooting. Some extra room to experiment, some extra leeway to just have even more fun with our time together.

If you’re searching for a Maryland or Baltimore wedding photographer, please reach out! I promise I’m fully warmed up and ready to make magic.
