Another set from the Dark & Moody Workshop

I’m going to guess there will be 6-8 post from this workshop put on by Marco Ibanez ( @marcoibanezphoto ), and feature Sandra Cuadra ( @miss_boudoir_mn2 ). we did so many different looks. Here is the next set…

Dark & Moody Workshop

I recently attended a “Dark & Moody” photography workshop hosted by Marco Ibanez ( @marcoibanezphoto ), featuring the incredibly talented model Sandra Cuadra ( @miss_boudoir_mn2 ). If you love bold shadows and moody aesthetic as much as I do, this was a masterclass in leveling up the creative toolkit.

We focused on four critical success areas:

• Using available light effectively — shadows are not the enemy

• Dynamic posing techniques to boost visual impact

• Live shooting opportunities to test concepts in real-time

• Portfolio-ready results — because content is king

Sandra delivered killer poses with efficiency and attitude, giving us everything from soft vulnerability to confident edge. Marco provided hands-on coaching that translated into immediate shot-level improvements.

I left with new skills, fresh images I’m proud to share, and a bigger appetite for bold, atmospheric storytelling.

Here are the first set of images, with more to come….

KJ in Red

We don’t have any Christmas decorations in the picture, but KJ is red and I don’t think anyone will mind ;-) A few of these pictures would get me flagged on Instagram for sure, so I figured I would be a few extra on the website.

Santa's favorite.....

I got lucky and Leda was in the area with some time to shoot. We threw together some Christmas themed ideas and this is the first set to post. I’m not sure what to do with the pictures that would get us both on the really naughty list ;-)

Angel on the Stairs in

A set of pictures with Angel from the Epic Pool Shoot hosted by David Moser.

Ella in a Zebra Print

These are from a set I shoot with Ella while at the Epic Pool Shoot put on by David Moser. I posted a few of them on Instagram, but they seem to be a ‘flagging’ post kick lately, so I figured I would paly it save and put the semi risky ones on the blog - just to be safe.

Kicking off the Hockey Season with KJ

I was lucky enough to get KJ to stop by my place for a couple of hours to shoot recently. Since it was getting close to hockey season, I grabbed my Capitals Jersey and got a few pictures of her with it.

I need to pick up another jersey so I can do a ‘Rock the Red’ look.

Let’s Go Caps.

Tifne Relaxing on the Stairs at the Pool Shoot

These are some pictures of Miss Tifne from my second pool party event put on by David Moser each summer.

Relaxing after a hard day of shooting

The day was slowing down and Montana wanted to just sit down and relax, of course to me that mean time for just one more look ;-)

Abby and the Outdoor Shower

Here are a few more pictures with Abby from the pool shoot, I had a feeling that Instagram would flag the post if I included some of these ;-)

Happy about the pictures

I was showing Montana some of the pictures we had taken and she started jumping for joy ;-)

More of Montana from Orlando

Like I said in a previous post, here are some more pictures of Montana in this once piece outfit from the photo shoot in Orlando.

Cassiel in Jeans

Another set from a shoot at DC Bacon Studio with Cassiel.

Dominika in Black

There are from a shoot a few weeks ago with Dominika at a workshop at The Studio at Dulles. This was the first one of probably 4-6 different looks we did. I will post some of those over the summer.

More of Kelc with the Hellcat

Here are few more pictures with Kelc and the Hellcat.

Chloe Getting Wild

This is from an event last summer in Mahaffey, Pennsylvania put on by artisticedgerjc, with Miss Chloe showing how bad @$$ she can be ;-)

I am counting down the days to May event coming up and I’ve already got time schedule with Chloe.

Montana in Orlando

I was down in Orlando last November for an photo trip and got to meet Montana for the first time, we ended up doing a few different shoots - some of my favorites were in this one piece outfit.

I have a few more in this outfit to post later.

Cassiel in the Window

These are the first set of pictures from a shoot at DC Bacon Studio with Cassiel Marie.

Shea Snow in the Door

About a month ago I went up to a PictureParty event put on my Stace Bernard and managed to get about 10-15 minutes to work with Shea Snow.

Kelc and the Hellcat

While Kelc was in the area, I managed to get one of my friends from work into bring over his Dodge Hellcat for us to shoot with. We got a few good sets out of this, the first set are some silhouette pictures with Kelc in the drivers seat of the car.

I will post some more pictures from this set over the next few weeks.
