After an extended period of lackluster posting, I'm now ready to begin sharing my work more consistently. Although Versatile Photography specializes in portraiture for pageants and business, I cover a wide variety of subject matter across many genres both in studio and on location. I will now be utilizing this blog to show more of my work, especially images that showcase my collaborative efforts and personal work. Here's a sample from a recent impromptu excursion in downtown Oklahoma City.  Air Force Monument in Oklahoma City Air Force Monument in Oklahoma City

Although I am highly experienced at capturing movements during live performances, I want to improve my dance photography skills, especially for talent performances in my pageant coverage during Miss Oklahoma preliminary events. For this task, I requested the assistance of a highly talented and experienced dancer who could perform specific techniques that would photograph well. After communicating my ideas to her, I arranged the lighting to create dynamic images that highlight her lines and freeze her movement. We created awesome images during a short period, and the following images are favorites from the session along with a pullback of the lighting setup I utilized.

I am on a never ending journey to learn and apply my photographic knowledge. Since I cover a wide range of in my professional and personal photographic work, I am consistently presented with opportunities to test my knowledge. I, along with other people, have noticed positive changes in my work. I will be highlighting some of my favorite images over the next few weeks as a showcase of my growth. 

This was my first beauty session of the new year, which offered opportunities to photograph the work of an awesome makeup artist. I wanted to create different looks without losing the MUA's details. Here are a few of the finished images.
