I recently had the pleasure of meeting and shooting model Vaei Visage (MM# 2347945). We met in Burke, Virginia and head out to shoot some images in natural light. Halfway through the shoot her nose started bleeding but we kind of just went with it. She’s an awesome person and a very cool friend. Images were captured with my Canon 5D III paired with either a 24-70 f/2.8LII or a 70-200 f/2.8LII. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!
Katie Rae is an aspiring model in Winchester, Virginia. She contacted me for a session to supplement her portfolio and we decided to meet in Leesburg, Virginia for her quick session. Model photographer mode is a lot of fun – lots of collaboration on outfit ideas, locations, and image style to get a set of images that fit the model’s look. We went for a natural light approach for this shoot, which was done with Canon 5D III with a 24-70 f/2.8LII or […]
I got to shoot with model Dahlea Gray today in the awesome town of Front Royal, Virginia. Pin-up was an inspiration but we kept ourselves open to other ideas. All images were captured with my Canon 5D III paired with either a 24-70 f/2.8LII or a 70-200 f/2.8LII in natural light. Visit J.Yi Photography on Facebook!
Sugar Blossom is a cosplayer in the Washington, D.C. area. She contacted me to do a shoot as Marvel’s Black Cat, a former burglar turned detective/super-hero (and dated Spider-Man for a period of time!). Though Sugar Blossom wanted the shoot to showcase Black Cat’s sexiness, shooting the character is kind of tricky – Black Cat is often hyper-sexualized with revealing outfits and incredibly seductive posing. We went with poses that were a bit more tame than how she is usually depicted and […]
Lauren Venezia is a costume designer based in Richmond, Virginia. I stayed down for a few days to do two days of shooting with her. The first day was a brilliant cosplay she designed and made herself of DC Comics superheroine Black Canary. Black Canary is an expert in martial arts and Lauren has martial arts experience which you’ll see in one of the photos below (as well as the Canary Cry!). Cosplay shoots are super fun and working with Lauren […]
I met up with Rebecca a few weeks ago to do a cosplay shoot. We found each other on Model Mayhem and agreed that we wanted to update her portfolio with a few new images of her Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) cosplay. We met up to shoot at Lake Fairfax Park in Reston, Virginia. All images were captured with a Canon 5DIII, a Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II with natural light. Rebecca’s stats: Height: 5’7″ / 170 cm Weight: 150 lbs / […]
Aya Lorenz is a new, up-and-coming model based in the DMV area. A student of architecture, she has a passion for her work and also for fashion, product design, and visual arts. We were able to coordinate a no-frills outdoor photoshoot and are already planning our next shoot. Aya’s stats: Height: 5’3″ / 160 cm Weight: 109 lbs / 49.4 kg Bust: 32″ / 81 cm Waist: 24″/ 61 cm Hips: 34″/ 86 cm Dress: 4 – 6 Shoe : 7 […]
Last week I published a set of photos that model Sonia Coonen and I created with digital camera. This set of photos are the analog images that were made. The film used was Kodak Portra 400 at ISO400. The camera used was a Mamiya RB67 Pro-SD and the images were shot with a 90mm and 190mm pair of lenses. There truly is nothing that matches the beauty of real film. The process, the chemistry, the anticipation, and the image. With digital […]
I had the pleasure of shooting with model Sonia Coonen this past Saturday. We had contacted each other on Model Mayhem and agreed to meet the next day for some test photos. Though a bit bright, the day was fortunately evenly overcast and lent itself nicely to our use. Sonia has a great look and attitude. We hit it off nicely and were able to shoot digital and medium format film images. This entry will feature images shot digitally with […]
I recently coordinated a shoot with model Sheri Miller (MM# 2556797). We wanted to have an outdoor shoot to take full advantage of the unusually pleasant weather and decided on a light fashion/editorial concept. After drafting out a few shots and setting a date we went for it! You can click on any of the thumbnails for a larger version. All images were created with a Canon 5D mark II and a Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II lens. We were able […]
