This being a D&K shoot is a very good selling pitch in itself...then add Corissa and Kim as confirmed models a month ahead of the shoot?! I'm even more sold!!! Can't wait for the rest of the model line up...full payment sent!!!

thanks Nuc. That's just a start. You have no idea what we bring to our events. We bring the MOST gorgeous models out there where others can only wish they can have

So TRUE!!

Have Fun Everyone!!  This is a really Great place to shoot, too bad I can't make it, I always wanted to shoot with Corrisa 

If you never have shot at a really nice location with HOT models, this will be your chance.
 
When Drew and Karl 1st had their workshop at this location, I wasn't interested, till another photographer friend talked me to going, cause this location has to be experienced I was told.  It also helped that there were a couple of models I wanted to work with

Don't think cause a lot of people shoot at this location that U will have the same stuff as others.  I went with the thinking I wasn't going to shoot the normal scene everyone shoots, the fountain and pool.  Not to say it's bad, but I'm always different, like when I was young and had to get custom rims for my car.

Let's just say there are a lot of different scenes to shoot here and how U shoot it will make it different, crop & angles..   The mix of Sun and Shade make this place Perfect!!  and the Models that Drew and Karl have are Top Notch!!!

Images from Past Events there













PREDICTION: "SOLD OUT!!" soon

Thanks Rich for the kind words. Yup, use your imagination and you'll get different and cool results.

Quan went experimenting with poses.

I love how the little doggy was looking at us shooting.  Oscar was probably saying "Why is Mike making her do that?"  Also I matured a bit.  Notice no white socks in black running sandals.

I love bendy people.  Aurora just bent over to show me her flexibility.

It was more that she is a farmer/model that I was interested in shooting.  She's one of the coolest person I met.

To make it obvious, she never shot nudes with me.

Drew, just wondering...how many times should one participate in D&K events to assist in your test shoots with these flexible hotties? Awesome experience I bet! Only from D&K...

Make sure you have lighting so you shoot on your own. Make sure your images are up to par because you will be working under me. Sometimes I will just send a model or 2 your way to test them for me. Some people thinks that's messed up. How? Everyone benefits from the shoot.

Hmmmm...ok...own lighting...check! Images up to par...that's why I'm in the D&K workshop This is an awesome motivation...hopefully someday I'd benefit from these kind of shoots as well. Now why can't the 15th be any sooner?

yeah and maybe some spare units too.  I had an E640 with a 64" PLM on a stand with 15lbs of counter weight and a mini vaga.  It blew down and the pyrex dome broke, the E640 and the PLM was ok.  I kept shooting with the bare bulb unit.  Later it blew down again, but the PLM didn't survive; the PLM got torqued.  I order replacements parts for everything.

So now I'll be shooting bare and with a bent shaft for a while.

That's why you don't use PLM outdoors. I'm sure Rich Masuda can attest to that. He was holding my 3' Octodome and almost flew away in the desert.

Yeah I might be switching back to a beauty dish with a vaga II for outdoors.  I'm gonna miss doing three light setups

I have a spare dome if you want to use it. I took it off when I sent in my Einstein v2 (pre-finger fix) for a replacement because they told me to. When they sent me back the replacement Einstein, they gave me another dome. So I've got an extra. I'll bring it with me to the shoot on Saturday.

You should see a doctor about that.

Or maybe ask one of the girls to help you straighten it out

We don't get to go in, or shoot inside the house. But the yard is awsome.

Sorry...I shouldn't have asked...it's an understood given. Silly me! Can't wait!
