Saturday Light: Pride & Prejudice Headshots
Did headshots for the cast of The Vintage’s production of “Pride & Prejudice” over two evenings last week. Simple, clean headshots – nothing fancy here, just working to capture a good portrait of each actor for use in the show’s program. The whole thing was designed to be pretty low key. The crew is rehearsing [...]
Saturday Light: Pride & Prejudice Promo Shoot
This one is long overdue. Several weeks ago I shared a bit of behind-the-scenes look on what goes into preparing for a photo shoot – in this case, a very large shoot. Writing post-shoot now, I can easily say that it was indeed the biggest production shoot I’ve ever done. And it was outright awesome! [...]
Prepping for a big shoot
I’m in the process of preparing for what may be my biggest photo shoot to date. It’s exciting – and a little scary. There’s a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into into a shoot, well before the camera even comes out of the bag. So as I’m putting pieces together, I thought [...]
Saturday Light – Sara and Tony
Alright, time for another edition of Saturday Light! Although I should warn you now that if you’re looking for some kind of big production with lots of lights, you’ll be disappointed. In keeping with my trend these past few months, this is another really simple session. (I actually debated whether I’d even share it or [...]
Saturday Light: Conor’s headshots
Keeping things simple on another round of Saturday Light. This is Conor, the co-owner of The Vintage in downtown Scranton. But more than being a local entrepreneur and a huge supporter of the local art scene, Conor is himself an actor. So when he needed new headshots to share with the casting folks, he asked [...]
Masquerade Ball promos complete
Photos from my Masquerade Ball Promo shoot are up on my other site: Masquerade Ball @ The Vintage | Brent Pennington: Photographer. Thankfully they came out similar to my pre-visualization, and much better than the terrible sketch I’d made. Although I attribute that mainly to the models – Kelly and the two Joes – who [...]
Masquerade Promo Pre-shoot
Tomorrow night I’m shooting some promo shots for my friends at The Vintage. You won’t see this post until Thursday, at which point the shoot will already be over. But I still wanted to put my thoughts down on paper, as it were, regarding the creative process and pre-visualization that I’m doing as I get [...]
Saturday Light – Allie & Russ’ Engagement Session
This is going to be an easy edition of Saturday Light, because 90% of the lighting used during this session was ambient. Which is something of a departure from my usual path, although a direction I plan on pursuing with more of my outdoor work portraiture work. And while there’s a lot less I can [...]
Saturday Light – the Fearsome Foursome
Thursday night, while Scranton’s heatwave was still in full-swing, I met up with a quartet of ladies known increasingly as the Fearsome Foursome. They’re some of the local movers and shakers – including my own girfriend and sometimes-assistant Mandy – and they are the driving force behind NEPA Blog Con, a regional blogger’s conference scheduled [...]
Saturday Light: Sara in the summer
You’ve seen some of these photos before, in Tuesday’s OM-D portraiture review. But I wanted to go back and share a few more images from the session as well as pick up the Saturday Light series. It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these, because it’s been a while since I’ve had a [...]
