Nice Sean, I think your next purchase will have to be a moving van to carry all this gear.
I looked at this large on Flickr and the detail and DOF is sublime. The textures in the ceiling, the carpet, the flare, all very good.
And your clothes, you have inspired me to find my brown cord pants and start wearing them again.
Great shot.

I had decided on the avenger boom as well. How do you like it so far? Is there much flex?Originally Posted by Sean Setters
I've actually contemplated the cargo requirements of my next vehicle. I'm even considering buying a cheap, old SUV for such a purpose. Even now, I have to think long and hard about each session to decide on what to bring (because everything I have won't fit in the Mustang). Considering what little space the Mustang has, it's amazing how much I can squeeze in there.Nice Sean, I think your next purchase will have to be a moving van to carry all this gear.

As far as those clothes go, that's just the outfit I wore to work yesterday. As I was just testing out the equipment, I didn't feel the need to change into anything special. It ended up looking alright, though, if I do say so myself.

May I suggest this for your old SUV. This could really enhance your image as a an "artist", however it may degrade your rapper image a bit.

Hmm....I may have to switch genres. Are the Beach Boys still going strong?
I think the Beach Boys were in concert at the Zoo Amphitheater here in town not long ago, or maybe that was just a flash back i had. But you have to admit, if you show up for a shoot in this van you will stand out and be noticed.
If you add some 22inch rims and a "boom-boom" stereo, there is no risk of compromising your "cool" persona.
PS. another great Magazine cover----nice work with the lighting.

Nice van, I'll swap you a nifty fifty for it.

Erin contacted me about taking some portfolio shots for her modeling career. She said she wanted something a little more "country" than she had done in the past. She mentioned wanting to shoot in a barn. I figured my friend Nathan wouldn't mind us using his barn again, so I gave him a call--he graciously consented.
I arrived at the barn about an hour ahead of the session to scout out the location, pick a spot, and set up my equipment. I used props I found inside the barn throughout the session (wooden crate, wooden Sun Drop box, etc). I also brought along a big red chair that Noelle recently purchased at a flea market. The chair was an interesting contrast to the rustic barn, however, none of those shots ended up being my personal favorites. About 2/3s of the way through the shoot, Nathan walked down to the barn to see how everything was going. He provided great entertainment for the model and the friend she brought along. At one point, Erin asked him, "Hey, is that your motorcycle out there? Can you get it in here?"
One seventeen-point turn later, Nathan had his motorcycle parked squarely where it needed to be. That part of the barn was quite small, but it ended up working perfectly. In fact, Nathan jumped on the motorcycle with Erin at one point and had his picture taken. It's now his Facebook profile pic... ;-)

Great shots, Sean
And that is a great location. Truly a smart use of a small space
