Had a great time shooting some behind the scenes photos for a Kensington Community Church video shoot with this very talented and funny crew. Its always fun capturing those “in-between takes” moments on set.
If you have a film you are shooting and would like something like this please feel free to contact me brian.craig07@gmail.com 

A study of strawberries with window light. 

Playing in the “studio”, challenging myself to work with only available light but to make “usable art”. These were taken during “magic hour” at my dinner table in front of the window. Only controlling the setting in my camera and using a piece of paper to bounce light to achieve these images. If you have time, grab any object and start playing around. 

The great and exciting thing about photography is that you are constantly learning and refining your skills. 

Every year the city of Rochester puts on an amazing light display (Lagniappe). All of the shops and buildings are encrusted with twinkling Christmas lights, like something you would see at Disney World. It’s a pretty big event and brings a lot of business to the local community. 

On  just about every street corner you will see a photographer or 3 trying their best to capture this moment. Some zooming, some long exposures and some just trying to fit it all into their lens. Others are just happy with a quick Instagram post and off to grab some locally roasted coffee. 

I was of course one of these photogs, but this year my wife and I brought our 22 mth old son with us. As you can imagine that leaves little time for standing around shooting photos all night so I decided to try something different, The Lensbaby Composer Lens. Fitted its 2.8 aperture ring, I was able to grab a few more unique shots of the sights. 

Hope you enjoy.
