Daniel Chin Photography: Blog

Holy cow, people. Things have been busy for me. Busy enough, in fact, that I’m not even going to put together a well organized and cohesive slideshow today. Instead, I’ve decided to just post pictures I’ve shot in the past two weeks… kind of a a snapshot of my life since my lifestyle shoot with the Bangash family. I’ve been second shooting a ton for my friends Jeff Lawler and Natalie Moser, and I’ve included some of the more experimental stuff I’ve been working on with lighting (as well as some details and a few PortaStudio aka PhotoBooth shots). I also have two pictures of tomatoes and basil that Jeannie and I have been growing this summer… just because growing stuff kicks-ass.

Just some notes on the pictures:
- there is one picture where I think I used 7 mirrors for the shot.
- two long exposure night shots.
- there is a lot of flash used in these pictures, but…
- some shots aren’t lit, but i like them, so i’m posting them.
- trying new things is a lot of fun… but a lot of stress too.
- multiple flash exposures can give you some interesting cubist looking forms in the pictures.
- the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 D doesn’t really do well with backlight… rumors have it the f/1.4 G is coming out in September… and that a 1.2 is coming out next year.
- a big shout out to all the random catalogs I’ve been looking at to get ideas for lighting.
