OCF for a selfie.

OCF for a selfie

So, last night I was out doing some shooting and decided that I needed to do a “Selfie.” As you might have guessed, over the years, I’m not really in to taking selfies, especially with my cell phone (this wasn’t with a cell phone btw), but I decided that the moon was too cool looking with the haze from the fires out in the western US making the moon stand out in relief.

This was shot with a single flash, hand-held, no modifier for 8 seconds, 1600 ISO, f16. The flash was set at 1/128 power. Camera is a Nikon D700 with the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens.

A signature edit for the Martinez Family. This was just something I wanted to produce that I’d had in the back of my mind for a while.

Back in 2009, long before I even thought about opening a studio, I was asked to supplement some senior photos for a friend’s daughter.

After the Joy of Lighting class

A couple of weeks ago I told you that I was headed to Minneapolis to attend the Joy of Lighting class sponsored by West Photo and held at the Mpls Photo Center. Tony Corbell, who has teamed up with Bowens at teambowens.com, is an amazing instructor. The first day of the class was mostly classroom slides and discussions about different lighting techniques. Tony also went over the Bowens Gemini 400Rx lights that we received and the equipment that came with them. The second day was almost all hands-on, using the lights and their modifiers to practice and getting used to them. Our model, Anna Maher, was wonderful and very patient with us! Below are a couple of images from the practice sessions. We had three lighting scenarios that we practiced on. One setup used a single strobe and a softbox, the second used a single strobe with just the reflector and the third used three strobes, all with reflectors. The two gentlemen were classmates of mine that were gracious enough to let me photograph them.

The Martinez Family

Last month I had the privilege of photographing the Martinez family. Here are a couple of shots that they loved from the session.

Portrait of a Sketched Beauty

A couple of years ago, MG Miller, a local cartoonist, was in Blackduck using his talents. I caught a few images with one little girl as Mr. Miller sketched a portrait for her father.

Welcome to the official opening of Caddy Imaging

Welcome. Today Caddy Imaging became officially recognized by the state of Minnesota as a business. Until today, all of my efforts had been aimed at improving myself and my photography to a point where I felt comfortable with the idea of earning money with my work. Although I am still somewhat uncomfortable asking for money (Isn’t there always some uncertainty in the beginning?), I feel that if I am ever going to grow beyond myself, I have to take the plunge and work more towards embracing my own abilities and confidence. I hope that you will bear with me as I work through the awkward and sometimes slow process to build my confidence.

If you’re still reading this, then please take a moment to consider Caddy Imaging as a resource for you and your family to share what makes you unique. Let me become a part of your family and earn your respect while you take cherished memories to show to your extended family and friends. Whether it’s senior pictures, family portraits, anniversaries, photos of your elder family members, headshots or environmental portraits, know that I will do whatever it takes to make sure that your photos are the best you’ve ever had.

Thank You,

 

Bill Caddy
