A couple weeks ago, I fell into a model shoot with photographer Jay Marroquin and designer Lizzi London—both were great being around! The reason I said that I “fell into” the shoot is because I went by a friend’s warehouse to show him my D3 and D3x and discuss what I thought were the advantages of the D3 over the D2x (which he has). Well, Jay was using his warehouse for a shoot of Lizzi’s clothing that morning. The three photographers (Jay, a Canon guy, Greg and I) discussed all sorts of geek camera stuff and how Jay was planning on shooting the models.Jay planned to use a two Canon flash setup in e-TTL mode and triggered by the PocketWizard FlexTT5. After seeing the results using the PocketWizard, I was sold—sold to the tune of buying Nikon compatible ones (more on them in a later post). Jay asked if I wanted to shoot. The FlexTT5’s were not compatible with my Nikon camera so all my shots were natural light only—usually at ISO of 800 to 2,200 and f-stops of 2.8 to 5.6.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 at shot at 200mm ISO 1,100, f/5.6 and 1/45th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 3—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast.
Photoshop CS5—removed a few distracting elements within the photo and used nik Color Efex Pro skin softener filter.
Not sure what to think of this one.

I think you could have sold tickets to this shoot. Great lighting on their faces.

I like it. The composition, the expressions and the lighting all seem to go together.

Just found your blog and spent an hour looking over all your photos. You do a lot of different things but I think your text are a little too long. This photo has a lot of impact and raises a lot of questions in my mind. Good work.
