I just returned from a fly fishing trip in the jungles of Costa Rica. Manny was one of the fishing guides at the lodge where I stayed. As soon as I saw him on the dock I was struck by the soulfulness of his face and eyes. I asked him if I could shoot his portrait and he agreed. I came prepared with my cameras and a reflector just in case. The background I selected is the side of the cabin that I stayed in.

This is my recent portrait of singer, songwriter Arama Mara. This was shot downtown New York City on Minetta Lane, one of my favorite streets. I lit her with my Nikon speed light with a mini beauty dish and used my trusty 35-105 Nikon zoom.

I just uploaded a new portfolio of portraits to my website, all shot on location. Almost everything here was shot over the past summer, many of which were shot at fairs in upstate New York. This was a really fun project . . . a real slice of Americana.

Clown © Leland Bobbé
This is my scary clown portrait of Ambrose Martos. Actor, burlesque show host and professional clown, I found Ambrose on Facebook on a friends page and was struck by his quirky looks. I sought him out and ended up shooting him 3 different ways . . . a studio portrait, as part of my neo-burlesque series, and as a clown. I shot this downtown NYC using a mini-beauty dish on a Nikon speedlight with a 70-300 zoom set at 185mm, at f8.

This is another in my series of portraits of people at upstate NY summer fairs. This kid definitely has his look together. Natural light and a silver reflector did the job.

Recently I’ve been attending summer fairs in upstate New York to do portraits of interesting looking characters. I found this gentleman selling all kinds of toys and trinkets that he designs himself during the winter. This was shot in open shade using only a silver reflector.
