Melting into Sunset

nobody@flickr.com (Ryan Brenizer) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 08:33:31 -0700

Sometimes I just like to remind people that this is the view from my workspace.

It's hard to capture a sunset in a new way, but I gave it a shot. This is a pano of images from the 85mm tilt-shift, and images taken with the Sigma 85mm f/1.4.

UPDATE: Ha, I should have known that if I took a sunset picture it would make Explore.

Home Alone, Together

Ryan Brenizer posted a photo:

My freezing fingers generally were not the biggest fan of shooting in this frigid NYC winter, but I was very happy when it let me do one of my favorite sorts of engagement shoots -- exploring a couple's relationship in their actual living space, where the daily work of building a lasting relationship is done.

Elizabeth and Steven were fantastic, and I can't wait for their upcoming wedding in the warmer climate of Austin.

Lucca by Night

Tuscany is as gorgeous as you'd think. This is basically straight out-of-camera; that's just how it looked.

Shot with the new Nikon 35mm f/1.4. Here's my full review!

Double Rainbow, all the way

nobody@flickr.com (Ryan Brenizer) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:51:34 -0800

Ryan Brenizer posted a photo:

Wendy and I were in Boca Raton for a wedding, and, given how freezing it is in NYC these days, we wanted to take as much advantage of it as possible. So we went for a long, long walk along the beach, watching the sandpipers run along the waves, making up stories about the owners of the other footprints in the sand. It had been raining all morning, but that didn't stop us. As we finally reached the point where we realized how far we'd walked, and that we'd have to walk all the way back, it started to rain a bit more, even though the sun was out.

"Look!" Wendy said. A rainbow seemingly began to grow out of the ocean. "I've never seen one right on the horizon before!" (We are not oceanfaring people).

It grew fast enough that you could follow its progress with your eye, first one band, and then a second. while behind us was a fantastic sunset.

You'd better believe we started shouting "What does this MEAN?"

And that's why you always bring your camera with you. Regular ol' panorama, 13 frames with the Nikon 35mm f/1.4.

Take gorgeous parents, three whirling dervish kids, and an urban playground, and what do you get? A family shoot that was an absolute blast.

Beyond the Hustle and Bustle

nobody@flickr.com (Ryan Brenizer) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 11:01:26 -0700

Ryan Brenizer posted a photo:

I love shooting with other photographers, such as this session with British photographer Albert Palmer and his now-fiancée. They're always up for anything, such as when I say. "Hey, how do you feel about sitting in the middle of Grand Central? It's likely that we'll get a talking-to from security." "Sure!"

And doubly so, since I'd conceptualized shooting through the legs of a rushing businessman, pants and all. But I think this adds to their natural class.

I also seem to have a (subconscious?) habit of getting the American flag in whenever shooting British subjects.

Keri Hilson stands ready a split-second before the curtains open at a concert with Soulja Boy. As the photographer for an event featuring Dr. Dre, I was given some pretty crazy access to the concert. See more on the blog!

The Color of Night

nobody@flickr.com (Ryan Brenizer) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 07:59:07 -0700

Ryan Brenizer posted a photo:

There are so many reasons to love the high-ISO capabilities of modern DSLRs, but more than anything I love that, with the right lenses and careful technique, we can actually take portraits and casual photos at night, that really shows wsa night looks like. Night is not the bright blue lighting cinematographers have had to use for decades to connote darkness. It is a barely grey darkness punctuated only by the things that humanity have made, the areas and objects that we deem important enough to light up when the sun goes down. It is many-colored, shiny and complicated. I love it.

I sometimes will be out shooting people at night with the tiniest of lights or no light at all, and I will see other photographers walk by , and I know they think I'm nuts. Right after this shot, a team walked by with a battery pack and a giant octobank on a boom. The way that you're *supposed* to take photos at night, the way that destroys the night. It's a good way to shoot, too -- octobanks are killer light sources. But I love the freedom of choice.

Greetings from Singapore! This was taken with my brand-new 85mm f/1.4G, and it shows the character of the lens pretty well.

You should check out Matt and Valerie's awesome, topsy-turvy wedding right now. I'll wait.

Mathew has been a photographer on Flickr for quite some time now, including one of the most ambitious Brenizer method shots I've seen. No wonder they're so cool.

Every year I do portraits for the Catholic Guardian Society of the underprivlidged children and developmentally disabled adults they serve so well. It's a fantastic experience and helps them raise sorely needed money. See some samples from this year's shoot here, with lots of adorable kids.

The Streets Aglow

nobody@flickr.com (Ryan Brenizer) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:41:13 -0700

Ryan Brenizer posted a photo:

Shakun, Tim and I were shooting an engagement session in the park when I saw, several block away, the sunset light streaming perfectly down the middle of the street. This doesn't happen very often, especially on the very *Eastern* edge of Manhattan. We had about 30 seconds before it went down too low.

Also, other than cropping, this is straight out of camera.

I told Heather and Jordan I was going to put "an explosion of lights" behind them from a decorated tree, and so I did. Brenizer method, 18 shots with the 85mm f/1.4.
