This is a new promo piece featuring one of my portraits shot on location. This particular image was shot at an upstate new York summer fair. Natural light and a silver reflector did the trick.

I shot this at a horseback riding competition for kids at a summer fair in upstate NY. Great Lines.

Portrait – Pinky

I met Pinky last summer in upstate NY at a horse shoe throwing competition which he won. When he was finished I grabbed him and put him up against this dark brown wall which I thought really contrasted well with his pink “wardrobe”. This was shot in open shade with a silver reflector and juiced up a bit in Photoshop.

Portrait – Freckles

I shot this girl this past summer at an upstate NY summer fair. I love this kid’s face  . . . to me she has a 1930’s Dust Bowl look right out of Kansas or Oklahoma. The background is an old black bus that was sitting along the side of the fair.

Portraits – Upstate NY Summer Fairs

This is one of my portraits from this past summer’s series of people at summer fairs in upstate NY. I especially liked these two and they did a great job of following my direction. I shot in open shade with just a silver reflector . . . with a little help from photoshop I was very pleased with the result.

New Portraits – New Orleans Street Musicians

Nola Street Musicians © Leland Bobbé

During my  brief stay in New Orleans this past November I spent some time walking around the French Quarter looking for some unique characters to shoot portraits of. The gentleman on the left with the makeup was sitting on a stool playing the blues. He was thrilled at the idea. The gentleman on the right was standing on the street playing and I could hear his bird chirping from half a block away. As he played  it walked around his shoulders. As I was shooting him the bird just sat on his finger and looked right into the camera, a very willing subject.

Portraits – Upstate NY Summer Fairs

Root Beer © Leland Bobbé

This is one of the portraits I shot last summer at an upstate New York summer fair. This woman and her husband were selling root beer floats and everything else root beer and were both dressed in these red and white outfits. We first asked the man and he declined but his wife was into it. I thought this plain whit wall with its vertical lines complimented the outfit well. This was shot in open shade using a reflector and punched up in Photoshop.
