Engagement Session: Michelle & Charles

Crystal — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:39:43 +0000

Spring is fast approaching and with it comes great weather and more outdoor shoots. This past Saturday was the perfect day for an engagement session with Michelle and Charles. We were able to do the session at both the City Center at Newport News and later at the Mariner’s Museum park.

They were both open to our ideas and we all had a great time! We can’t wait until their August wedding!

Teen Actor & Singer: Ashton Harrell

Crystal — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:30:30 +0000

In January we photographed teen country/rock singer Ashton Harrell. Initially we had planned for this to be an on-location session but because of the cold weather we decided to keep the session indoors.

Ashton wanted a grungy and urban feel to his photos so we photographed him on our solid gray paper background.

By photographing on a solid background it allowed their graphic designer to later put his photo on a background that suited his personality.

At the end of the session Celeste Kellogg joined Ashton in a few photos for a possible poster for their movie Much Ado About Middle School.

Mark — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:01:32 +0000

On President’s Day we photographed newly designed t-shirts and merchandise by Taglish Tees. Filipino Fighting Arts Academy (FFAA, special thanks to Chief Instructor Brian ‘Spunk’ Trial) were kind enough to let us use their space during evening and we were able to successfully setup shop and photograph their new shirts and merchandise. Mike and Angelique from Taglish Tees gathered models to wear the new shirts for the shoot which included Jackie from our previous shoots, Maymar’s Brian Mayor, and even local dance crew YFAMD (Young Filipino American Modern Dancers of Virginia).

Gamboa Photos team member James Lewis provided behind the scenes video coverage for us to create a short video seen above. Make sure you click on the 720p setting on the youtube video to watch in HD!

Weddings Revisited: Dominique & Kilan’s September 27th Wedding

Mark — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 05:06:06 +0000

Looking through all the weddings we have posted on our photo blog, it came to me as a surprise that I have not posted the actual slideshow of our first full-fledged official wedding ever! Dominique and Kilan’s peacock themed wedding held on September 27th, 2008.

We’ve posted their still shots and teasers on the blog, but have always linked their wedding slideshow on their custom built website www.septembertwentyseventh.com which we had done for them. So it’s about time that I’ve finally posted it on here

(this is the extended version, to view the short version – click here!)

Hope you all enjoy – our very first official full-fledged wedding =]

2008 Revisited: Lindsey’s Crazy Hair Photo

Mark — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:42:19 +0000

Going through some old photos this past weekend while trying to update our portfolio, Crystal and I stumbled on a shoot we did back in the fall of 2008 with model Lindsey and Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist Allison Stout.

We chose one of Lindsey’s shots to play around with and went for a high-contrast, exaggerated black and white finish to add on to the photo and that’s what we came up with above. Hope you guys enjoy it! Let us know what you think by commenting below!

Faces Project: Brian Fockler

Mark — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:18:02 +0000

Last night we worked with Brian Fockler as part of our FACES! Project and here’s a few of the shots we were able to capture.

For this project I wanted to get a bank of facial expressions from our participants, from neutral look to various other ones that will bring out different characteristics of the face.

Brian was able to give us A LOT of varying expressions and we were pleased with his shots that we were able to accomplish our goal for the night.

Faces Project: Actor Justin Tully

Mark — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:37:41 +0000

This year I’ve got another project rolling out, pretty much I want to focus on FACES! Its going to be an ongoing project that I’ll be updating once in a while, trying to capture people with interesting facial expression from neutral to the over-the-top.

So I’m debuting this particular series with a good friend – actor Justin Tully. I first thought of doing this particular series about a year ago and it was actually right after we first shot with Justin that I thought he’d be the right person to start it off with.

I’m doing this because I just think that peoples faces are interesting, they show personality, character, and many other things. We communicate with our faces using various expressions and emotions unique to the individual. So this is the first set of photos going through a test run, hope you all enjoy!

2010 Photo Shoot with Actor Justin Tully

Mark — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:30:47 +0000

It’s been a little over a year and a half since we shot with model / actor Justin Tully (see Model Photo Shoot with Justin Tully) and since then he’s moved on to working in Los Angeles working on his acting career and plenty other gigs.

After all the busy work we’ve been going through closing off 2009, we were finally able to catch up with Justin and work on a late Sunday evening shoot just days before he leaves for Baltimore.

As usual there’s no dull moment when it comes to working with Justin, all night long his animated character created an awesome atmosphere for everyone to work in.

Just like the old days, we didn’t have anything planned as far as outfits, so we just put together different combination of outfits what Justin brought with him.

We took a few more shots of Justin with what we were able to put together and then finished off with a new project of mine debuting it on a next post after this.
