Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Leslie Kinross-Wright and Jeena Metzger in a colorful 1970’s inspired photo shoot at Studio 1912. The shoot was filled with bright colors, funky outfits, and an unreal energy. This is Sioux Falls Photography.

Leslie and Jeena brought their A-game to the shoot, donning sparkly outfits and retro hairstyles. They were both incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, making my job as the photographer easy and enjoyable. We experimented with different poses and props, using vintage record players and bright, geometric backdrops to add to the groovy feel of the shoot.

The energy in the studio was contagious, and we all had a blast as we captured some amazing shots. Leslie and Jeena’s infectious personalities and willingness to take risks helped us to create truly unique and memorable photos.

As a photographer, it’s always exciting to work with models who are willing to go outside of the box and embrace a new concept. Leslie and Jeena were the perfect subjects for this shoot, and their enthusiasm for the project was evident in every shot.

In the end, we came away with some stunning images that perfectly captured the 1970’s vibe we were going for. It was a pleasure working with Leslie and Jeena, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to create something truly special with them.

I Am Absolutely Thrilled with My Choice of the Canon EOS R6, Canon RF 50mm f1.2, Canon RF 28-70mm f2.0, Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8, and Canon RF 16mm f2.8

As a photographer, I’m always on the hunt for the best equipment to take my images to the next level. That’s why I made the bold move to upgrade my gear and invest in the Canon EOS R6 camera, the Canon RF 50mm f1.2 lens, Canon RF 28-70mm f2.0 lens, the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens, and the Canon RF 16mm f2.8 lens – and let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

The Canon EOS R6 is a powerhouse of a camera, offering unbeatable image quality and versatility that leaves me in awe every time I use it. With its lightning-fast autofocus system and high-speed continuous shooting capabilities, I can capture even the quickest of movements with ease. And when it comes to low-light conditions, the R6 shines, thanks to its 45 megapixel resolution and dual image processors that produce sharp, detailed images every time.

The Canon RF 50mm f1.2 lens is a work of art, designed specifically to bring out the best in your images. Its fast f1.2 maximum aperture opens up a whole world of creative possibilities, allowing me to capture portraits with stunning shallow depth-of-field and to shoot in low-light conditions without sacrificing quality.

The Canon RF 28-70mm f2.0 lens is the ultimate all-rounder, providing versatility and speed in one compact package. With its broad focal range, I can tackle any subject, whether it’s capturing stunning landscapes or nailing the perfect portrait shot. And with its fast f2.0 maximum aperture, I can create beautiful bokeh and take my images to the next level.

The Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens is a true powerhouse, offering the versatility I need to tackle a wide range of subjects. Whether I’m capturing wildlife, sports, or portraits, this lens provides the reach and speed I need to get the shot. And with its fast f2.8 maximum aperture, I can capture stunning images even in low-light conditions.

And let’s not forget the Canon RF 16mm f2.8 lens – this compact and lightweight lens is perfect for capturing stunning landscapes, architecture, and street photography. Its fast f2.8 maximum aperture makes it ideal for low-light conditions, and its ultra-wide angle of view provides a unique perspective on the world.

In conclusion, the Canon EOS R6, Canon RF 50mm f1.2, Canon RF 28-70mm f2.0, Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8, and Canon RF 16mm f2.8 have exceeded all my expectations and have elevated my photography to new heights. I couldn’t be more confident in my choice, and I’m thrilled with the results I’m achieving with these incredible tools.

Have you heard? Code:M Design is now officially, Michael Woolheater Photography. I am looking forward to working with new and returning clients alike. This is not just a simple re-brand, it is a renewed and strong commitment to quality and exceptional customer service. It is an allocation of more time to whatever this awesome thing is that I am so lucky to be a part of.

Every professional photographer knows how important sun timing is to get the best photos no matter what the occasion. There are a lot of ways to look up sunrise and sunset times so that clients can be scheduled at just the right time to get the most out of every session. One can simply do a search for the sunrise and sunset times of a certain day but that is generally done one day at a time and can be tedious. One can get an app that they can reference from their phone when scheduling but that is tedious, takes up room on your phone, and adds another app to the app drawer that just isn’t necessary. In my opinion, the best way to always know when to plan for outdoor shoots is to add sunrise and sunset times into your Google or Apple calendar! If you want your calendar to look like mine, with sunrise and sunset each day, simply follow these instructions.

Visit www.webcal.guru, create an account (it is free), select the ‘Sun’ calendar (notice there are a lot of fun calendars to pick from), setup location, select sunrise and sunset under ‘events’. Set time period, event titles however you like, and select your calendar color. When you are done, just save, and add it to your calendar by copying the link to the calendar and adding it to your existing calendar as a subscription. It took me less time to set up this calendar than it did for me to type this out! So go get it!
