Mike and Suzy! Photographers engaged! I absolutely love to shoot other photographers. First I feel honored and then I feel challenged to push into a little bit of “different”. Mike and Suzy, from Tri-Coast and Suzy Min Photography, are very well known and respected photographers in our industry so when they emailed us to ask if we would shoot their first engagement session (they’ll have more) my response was “fuck yeah! Come on down!”. Mike is pretty much a master of off camera flash and can work a set of radio poppers like there is no tomorrow. So what do I do when I have this caliber of a photographer in front of my lens…. well, I avoid flash like the plague and pull out a big florescent fixture to do some painting with light, then after that I play with my old hollywood lights and do some classic portraits. Mike and Suzy, congratulations, I cant wait to see what all the other photographers create for you.. !

Awesome! I love the first two. They are so creative and original. Makes me wanna go play with shop lights. Gorgeous work.
hot stuff!!
H-O-T!!!
What a hot couple! Great images too!
Love the noir feel to these. I love shooting with a noir affect.
Alright, I’m digging the effect of the florescent light painting. The Hollywood lighting is rightfully making a comeback, I have to admit I’m kinda getting bored with flash too.
Congrats to Mike and Suzy! Congrats on your new studio too, I’m looking forward to seeing the killer stuff you’ll be producing with it!
these are gorgeous. awesome shoot jmc!
Absolutely LOVE these! What a great idea to go for the old hollywood lighting for engagement photos, it’s very classic and you did a really great job.
