GAVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

I’ve been staying up late until 5AM again working on expanding the horizons of my photography.  And no these are not induced by drug use…

I’ve been experimenting with high speed photography, specifically with liquids such as milk. 

Judy and I headed out to Las Vegas this week for the annual Wedding and Portrait Photographers (WPPI) conference.

Here are pictures from this last Halloween. Enjoy!!!

I had setup a temporary photo booth in a closet, setting up the camera to take pictures with my laptop outside the closet. The girls LOVED it!
