I had the opportunity to hang out and shoot around with two great guys from Medellin, Colombia this past weekend. “Lighten Up and Shoot” is the motto Mike and Andy live by and it rocks. After getting caught up in the whirlwind of new technology and techniques its nice to connect with fellow photographers and remember just why we enjoyed picking up a camera so much in the first place.
Check out their blog and videos for a few laughs and an inside look at their minimalist approach to stunning portrait photography.
Here are two shots I grabbed as we “adventured” around Vinoy Park in St Petersburg with a group of like minded photographers and models.
Having grown up on the brilliant beaches of the sunshine state, I developed an early appreciation for the transformative energy light possesses, both inwardly and outwardly. Now I use light to add energy to every image, much as the Florida sunlight has energized me.
