FAQ

How long will it take to receive my images?

I estimate approximately 4-6 weeks for weddings and engagements but about 2-4 weeks for any other portraits. I send out a few images as samples after one week to tie you over!

Can I have my raw/unedited images?

No! I’m sorry but it makes it easier for me to send the high quality, edited images as it eliminates any images taken with blinking eyes or uneven lighting.

How will I receive my images?

All images will be given to you on a flash drive but your sneak peeks will be sent on a google photos album only accessed by me and you.

Can I post these images?

Yes, of course! Just make sure you do not edit them in any way and make sure to tag me @Goodallphotos!

What should I wear?

Whatever makes you the most comfortable! Muted, pastel and dark colors photograph the best along with neutrals and small patterns. However, I want your style to show in your images because they’re for you!

How do you describe your style?

Natural light photographer with a light but slightly moody style focused heavily on eyes and warm tones.

How do I book a shoot with you?

Contact me by email (goodallphotos1@gmail.com)

How many years of experience do you have?

I’m a student photographer but I have over 9 years of photographic experience and I took photography classes throughout high school for 4 years and classes over the summer for 5 years. I am a Scholastic Gold and Silver Key recipient, have been a finalist in multiple competions and I have been noted by Voyage Houston as a reputable and up and coming artist in Houston, Texas.

Surrealistic Water Portraits

A little over 6 months ago I experimented with portraits in the bathtub and with water as an experimental photo shoot which you can find by clicking here. I fell in love with the concept of water in my portraiture. I decided to do a similar shoot but I wanted a female model this time. I added a few different feminine elements such as the light blue color of the water and the addition of flowers. I hope you enjoy these images.

Pool Portraits

Inspired to create better portraits in the water I recently took some portraits using a pool and natural light to create a very summer-like feel. Here is the full set of images, edited and shot by me.

How To: Take Pictures Through Windows

Taking photos through windows can be tricky for a photographer no matter your skill set. It’s hard to both focus your camera correctly and still get a cool reflection on the model. After a couple 100 images worth of failed attempts, I mastered how to shoot through a window.

Tips

  • My first mistake came when I decided to have my lens autofocus on the model. My lens naturally focused on the reflection behind me instead of what was in front of it. I learned quickly that it was essential to manually focus to achieve a sharply focused image.
  • Next, I found that it is nearly impossible to get a clear image if the wall behind the window is textured at all. I quickly discovered that the textured, brick wall behind me was ruining my photos and I had to change my positioning to get a clear view. Some of the photos turned out okay but the intense wall texture was too much for many of the images and became distracting as shown in the picture below.
  • 132A7183
  • I also quickly discovered that my shadow might be seen at certain angles so make sure you check and double check that your shadow isn’t distracting from the main subject, sometimes you need to use your shadow to block the sun but in other situations, you’re going to want to avoid that. In the picture below I should’ve used my shadow to allow for less bright sunlight on the model’s face.
  • 132A7415
  • Make sure to direct your model clearly because often times the window is thick and your voice becomes muffled to your model.
  • Do not take the picture if there is something white or light colored behind you because the model’s face will be obstructed. I would recommend finding something darker to cast a shadow and create that true reflective quality. Jessica Whitaker’s video goes more in depth on this concept. 
  • If you follow these tips then you can achieve really good images through a window such as the ones pictured below.

Laundromat Photoshoot

I recently did a photoshoot just like this one but I wanted to try it again with different models and different outfits, here are my resulting images. Again I do these weird location photoshoots to show you that no matter where you live or what your surrounding location is you can still have amazing photos.

Cafe Portraits

I loved shooting in this super cute coffee shop that had an awesome vintage vibe to it. There was so much natural light that caused my models to radiate and look absolutely stunning in all of these images. I found the warm and cozy feel of the cafe made the models feel more comfortable than shooting in a more hectic location. I completely recommend going to your nearest coffee shop and shooting around, especially local shops because coffee chains can be a little more strict with you shooting in there. I hope you enjoy these images! I’ll be posting a tutorial later this week with tips on how to successfully shoot through windows. 132A7225

Ugly Location, Pretty Portraits

Recently there has been a trend circulating the internet called the “Ugly Location Challenge.” It began earlier this year and seemed to spark notice in many widespread YouTubers, from Niki and Gabi to Aspyn Ovard to Jessica Kobeissi, internet stars took advantage of this trend and encouraged their followers to do the same. The Ugly Location Challenge is taking portraits of a model in an area that would be seen as undesirable to most. For example, some locations often used are Michaels, Lowes, Mcdonalds, Laundromats and grocery stores. I decided to follow the trend and do my own Ugly Location Challenge at a laundromat near my home.

I decided to shoot with my 35mm lens to have more of the background in focus and to really draw more attention to the washers and dryers in the back. I was lucky enough to not get kicked out but I would recommend asking the owner before you begin shooting to ensure that it is allowed and you’re not disrupting their business. I would also recommend going early on a weekday to make sure there is not a lot of people and to have better lighting for your images.

Here is my attempt at the ugly location challenge. I hope this inspires other photographers to realize that location is not everything. Good photographs are not dependent on the location in which you are shooting, good photographs come from natural skill, excellent composition and ability to edit in post. I encourage everyone to not feel limited by where they live or where they are shooting, grab your camera and go take some portraits your location is not everything.

I edited these images with a more retro and faded style than I normally would, using Lightroom to create a vintage look in these images.

How To: Edit Like Brandon Woelfel

If you look at Brandon Woelfel’s feed on Instagram you will notice a common theme in his images, a cotton candy color palette. Woelfel often uses Photoshop to achieve these unique colors in each of his images but I found a way to achieve something very similar in Lightroom. Here are the steps to achieve a similar look to Woelfel, I, however, do not encourage copying his style in all of your shoots. I think it is important to emulate a photographer from time to time to learn how to shoot with styles different than your own and improve your photography game. Personally emulating Woelfel’s style showed me some tricks for photographing portraits at night that I might use in my own images.

First, you must photograph a model holding fairy lights at some time after golden hour. Woelfel often photographs at blue hour or at night time with artificial light to illuminate his image. I photographed at sunset into the night time and I didn’t have any trouble achieving the look. I would also recommend purchasing some serial killer/ oversized glasses to reflect more of the fairy lights. Mango Street made a Brandon Woelfel starter pack that is relatively inexpensive and a good starting point to begin photographing like him.

132A4925.JPG

Steps

  • After photographing the image you will begin your editing process.
  • I started by adjusting the temperature of the image to make it a lot cooler and making the tint a bit more magenta to achieve that aqua and pink look in Woelfel’s images.
  • Next, I turned up the exposure a little to bring back some light on his face and brought down the contrast to create more of a faded look in the image.
  • After that, I raised the shadows, dropped the blacks and dropped the whites almost all the way to add a little bit of contrast back in the image and even out the light distribution on his face.
  • Next, I played with the tone curve a little bit to create the crushed black look and created a slight S curve from that point.
  • I then played with the hues of the colors by making the yellows more orange, blues more aqua, aquas more blue, purples more magenta and magentas more purple which might sound a bit counterintuitive but it creates the colors that I wanted.
  • After I adjusted the saturation by dropping the saturation of the oranges and yellows and bringing up the saturation of the blue and magenta to emphasize the colors further. I also brought the luminance of all of the colors up slightly.
  • I added a pastel pink color into the highlights and a pastel blue color to the shadows to really create that cotton candy look to the image.
  • Lastly, I raised the vibrance up and brought down the saturation while also bringing down the clarity slightly.
  • I’m not saying these editing techniques will work for every image but they worked fairly well for me to create a similar looking image to something I thought Woelfel might create. For a more in-depth tutorial, I would recommend watching Mango Street’s video on this very technique.

Doing the Brandon Woelfel

In the past couple of years a photography icon as surfaced by the name of Brandon Woelfel. I’ve talked about Woelfel in my 5 Best Youtuber Photographers post before so many of you will already know who I’m talking about. Woelfel has become famous for his iconic fairy lights, rainbows and cotton candy color palette he uses in almost every one of his images. His photographs are extremely recognizable and well known around America especially after the release of his photo book Luminescence. Woelfel primarily photographs internet sensations such as Lilly Singh, Bethany Mota, and the DeMartino Twins as well as other models.

The trend #dothebrandonwoelfel consists of photographers taking photos of their models at night or at blue hour while incorporating some sort of artificial light in their images as well as heavy cool tones in post. I did not do this challenge to rip off Brandon instead I tried to see what parts of his style I could use to incorporate into my own photography and try to challenge myself. I almost never shoot past 7 so it was interesting to learn how to shoot without my friend the sun there to provide the natural light. This challenge has inspired me to do more night shooting with my own style incorporated but for now here is my take on emulating Brandon Woelfel’s style.

Water Portraits

I recently have been interested in new and fun ways to spice up my portrait photography and really boost my photography game. In February I tried something called water portraits where the subject is submerged or surrounded by water. I was inspired by Alban Grosdidier’s series entitled, Drowning and decided to put my own twist on his beautiful shots. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of using water to create unique and interesting portraits.
