It’s time again for another fashion show hosted by prAna at their Boulder Colorado store.  The first time I attended a show at the store I showed up randomly and shot some photos, which I posted HERE.   This time I was back armed with my brand new beauty dish!  There were tons of sponsors, and I donated a free portrait session to the raffle. I spoke with the winner, and she is interested in doing some artistic nudes, so I’m excited to put some of my nude study class training to use on my own!  You can see the full set of these photos posted in the Facebook Gallery.  Here are a few favorites.

I will be a vendor at tomorrow’s bridal show at The Westin Tabor Center in Denver. The fair runs from 10 – 6 and admission is free. The event will raise money to help the fight against breast cancer. They’ll be tons of great dresses by awesome designers available for purchase at discounted prices. Victoria’s radtastic dress (below) was purchased through this organization.

I was hired to shoot some professional shots of a production of “The Secret Garden”.  It was in the Black Box Studio, a really cool space in the ATLAS building on CU’s campus that has over 2 million dollars of fancy lighting equipment.  The space is empty, and scenery was digitally projected against screens.  The show is the first full-scale musical produced by Broadway in Boulder Studios, which is the musical theater division of the Parlando School for the Arts in Boulder.  All the actors in the production were from area high schools, middle schools, and colleges.

I was hired to head down to Dicks Sporting Goods Park, home of MLS Colorado Rapids training field, to shoot a giant group shot of Zinedine Zidane with 102 kids in town for the 12th Annual adidas Elite Soccer Program (ESP). This was a pretty big shot, so I brought out the big guns and brought the full studio lighting down. This made sure that all of the large group was lit evenly while I underexposed the sky for some perfect Colorado clouds. The second big part of the event involved on-site printing! I’ve been thinking about getting set up for this for quite a while now, but finally got around to pulling the trigger. So I bought a new Sony UDP dye-sublimation printer, which can crank out sub-10 second prints on the spot. This opens a whole new area of event photography for me. Additionally, I’m hoping to offer photo booth services at some upcoming weddings and events! Sadly, I have no plans to shoot Santa with the kids at the mall, as tempting as it does sound

While I was only really paid to shoot the group shot and perform the on-site printing, I couldn’t help resist taking some shots of Zidane as he worked out in some training drills with the kids!

Three days of shooting at the Sage Software Summit culminated with a fun show featuring performers from Cirque Du Soleil.  It was really a great change of pace for the audience as well as this photographer.  These talented acrobats balanced, twirled, flipped, and entertained.  This was a great test of the low light capabilities of my new Nikon equipment.  I’m really pleased with the results!

The annual Sage Summit presented by Sage Software rolled into Denver for this years edition.  I spent three days trekking back and forth between Boulder and Denver capturing the photo action.   One of the things that Sage wanted chronicled was there signage.  I of course through some arty flair into the mix!

The Sage Summit is a pretty monster event, taking over the entire Colorado Convention Center for the good part of a week.  Sage kicked off their event with a Fun Run, graced with none other than the American Athletic Icon of Bruce Jenner!  I found out that apparently Bruce is famous amongst the younger set as the dad from Keeping Up With The Kardashians,  one of those MTV reality shows!

I of course had to take the obligatory ‘self portrait with the celebrity’ shot!

The Summit drew thousands of attendees from around the country who came to learn more about Sage’s products, take classes, and check out the wares at an industry trade show.

The featured event was the Key Note Ceremony featuring Bruce Jenner in the Wells Fargo Theater.  VIPs from Sage spoke about the company vision and recognized their Customer Award Winners.  Bruce delivered a spirited Key Note Presentation.  It was quite an animated performance, as the re-told the tale of how he went from a nobody to a world-record-breaking decathlete by positive attitude and 110% dedication.
