In 2008 I helped found the Tulsa Digital Photography Group. It now has close to 600 members, making it the largest in Oklahoma. We put on photo shoots once or twice a month and have a monthly library presentation that I lead. Sometimes I do the presentation other times we have guest photographers come in.
Here are some of the photos I have taken at our shoots over the years.
Here are some of the photos I have taken at our shoots over the years.
 |
| This was taken after a studio lighting seminar. The outdoor area had a lot of great locations as well and we continued taking portraits well after the seminar ended. |
 |
| Taken at a studio lighting session. She was the owner of the studio and it took a bit of convincing to get her to model for us. |
 |
| Taken at a equestrian competition shoot. I had to run fast when I saw this girl hanging upside down to get the shot. |
 |
| Taken at a ‘painting with Light’ session. I had my camera on a tripod with a long exposure and ran out into the field to draw the word ‘TULSA’ with a flashlight. It took me 7 tries to get the S facing the right way, it’s HARD! |
 |
| Taken at a Color Composition shoot I led at the Cherry Street Farmer’s Market. Who says red and pink don’t go together. |
 |
| Taken at a ‘Black and White Only’ shoot I led at Philbrook Museum of Art. I had the participants set their digital cameras to black and white so they would have to see the scene from the very beginning in those terms.i |
 |
| Taken at a ‘How to Approach a Stranger’ shoot I led at Tulsa’s Blue Dome Festival. I had already taken photos of this woman’s face when I got attracted to the great color and textures of her scarf, hair and shirt. |
 |
| Taken at a pool/bathing suit shoot. We had a professional Makeup Artist for the shoot and it was great experience working with the models as a result. |
 |
| Taken at a Tulsa Zoo shoot. The tail said it all about this guy. |
 |
| Taken at a Bokah Christmas Lights shoot at Rhema Bible College. Bokah is a technique using a very short depth of field where only a small area is in focus. |
 |
| Taken at a studio/model shoot. This window covering was meant to diffuse the light for portraits but I was drawn to it for how it created silhouettes and shadows in very compelling ways. |
 |
| Taken at our annual Halloween Cemetery shoot. We have our models dress up in all sorts of fun halloween type costumes and just have a blast with all sorts of techniques. |
