Ron Shoots

Shot some funky cool stuff in Miami! These images were made with the Canon 1Ds MII using the Hensel ringflash. Always fun to delve back into the fashion/conceptual realm. The pictures don’t have to make sense, but there’s always a theme… even if I don’t know what that is when I’m shooting!

The vignette effect is on purpose- really! I like the way the circle works on this composition. I also shot without the circle so our clients will have the choice. The effect is created by seating the wide angle lens “too deep” within the flash unit.

Boyfriends are welcome!

A model is always welcome to bring a boyfriend or friend to my shoots. I can always use extra help carrying gear and holding lights… and in this case, stopping cars while I crouched down in the alleyway. Both the model and her boyfriend are musicians so I’ll have a local music scene to tap into on a future trip. Always love the serendipity that happens during a shoot.

In the Kitchen

The studio I was staying at had a little kitchenette so why not have the model lay on the counter and drink water… in a black dress and fishnet hose. Made sense at the time. Also shot with the ringflash.
