I’ll be honest when I say it had been a while since my last photoshoot. I’ve lost a little creative edge getting used to very posed and uniform portraits. I’m slowly working my way back on the saddle with more creative shots. I scheduled a shoot with a mutual friend and we came up with a few ideas of how to capture and freeze motion.

The first image is of the friends from the previously mentioned shoot, but the second was a last minute shot where I had my camera on hand while walking by the snow building. I asked a the guy drumming if I could take a photo and he kindly agreed. I felt afraid of coming across as a creep, so thank goodness for cool guys like him.

I loved your photos! I really liked the one with the girl kicking up the water! I felt that one was nice! I also liked the dumping one how you can tell he was drumming fast. Great job on your photos!

Brooks I love your photos. My favorite is definitely the drummer with the two girls walking in the background. I sort of love that we can’t see his face. I like the composition. I also love the first one with the girl spraying the water with her feet. Very creative.

Hey, great job brooks. You got some awesome pics here. The fact that you got a model and planned a shoot shows that put some time into this project. You second photo is for sure my favorite. It is a creative angle that has some really cool motion. I also like that you shot into the sun in the second photo. On sunny days shooting into the sun can make for some cool photos.
