Upbound Stills | In The Studio

What is Upbound Stills, Portraiture

Upbound Stills provides quality portraits for various uses including artistic presentations, promotional work and portfolio sessions.

What Does This Mean for My Commission?

You and I will plan a flow of the day in which we scout locations and implement a walk-through if possible before the shoot.

Tools Used for Implementation

Manual Digital SLR Camera

I primaryly use a Canon 600 for my stills work. My favored lens is my trusty 85mm prime, an old 35-135mm EF Zoom, and a 135 MM M42 Screw Mount. If needed, I’ll break out a Panasonic g7.

Manual Off Camera Strobe & Tiggers

It starts with THe Sun or the moon, but sometimes it needs help. That’s when my classic Yongnuo YN560-III Speedlite Flashes paired with their RF-603 C3-INT remote triggers come into play.

LED Soft Boxes

Sometimes you just need a steady light, and I keep it simple. I use a set of Lime Studio Portable softboxes with some basic high wattage LED Studio lights bulbs.

Domestic or Public Spaces

This is less about polish. I help you discern the best context for your needs. Sometimes From familiar places to new spaces, I am flexible where I shoot.

“That which is behind the eyes is always a joy to try

and capture. To render what is ineffiable with sun and lens

is a passion of tinkering I will not cease to endulge. “
