Another IKONIX shootout Halloween night. Vampires at the cemetery on Halloween… what could go wrong?

Had a great turnout, but the generator gave us major issues with the strobes. Fortunately, we didn’t permanently fry anything and were able to retreat back to the studio to finish off the evening with some more shots indoors.

And apparently, our vampires need to see a better dentist, since their fangs refused to stay in!

I think everybody still had a great time & it was great to meet some more of the local photogs.

A big thanks to our immortal models, Kelsey, Jen & Chantell.

Here’s some more shots from the IKONIX shoot last Saturday

Probably gona catch some flack from my recent brides for blogging this before their weddings, but just hang on tight;)

Had a great afternoon downtown at the photo shoot organized for IKONIX Studio for us to demonstrate the great California Sunbounce & Sunswatter reflector & scrim and show how those products could turn harsh 12-noon sun into flattering portrait-quality light.

Had a nice group of local photogs show up to work with Jen, a great model, who handled the multi-angled photographic assault like a seasoned pro.

As always, lots of shots…  Here’s some of my faves from the afternoon

A big congrats to all the exhibitors and winners in the 70th annual Iowa State Fair Photography Salon! A record 4577 photographs were submitted by 1493 photographers, with 875 photos and 608 photographers selected for display.
