Just found your site through SWS blog.
Your work is really tight. VERY interesting compositions. AMAZING light. Straight lines.
Understated color correction and impeccable edit.
I'm officially a fan.

Matt <<< Thanks for the HOTness! As far as dynamic range...that was all about finding the light on that day...it was overcast and on the verge of raining. God lent me his softbox that day so the lighting was pretty consistent. HDR...I've never created n HDR image. As most of you know, I shoot between f/1.2-f/3.5 99% of the time in order to capture a soft, life-as-seen feel to my photographs.
(05.23.08 07:51 AM)
Matt:
Fred, the new site and blog are smokin' HOT! I love the images from this wedding! How do you get so much dynamic range in your images? Some look almost HDR-esque but knowing you, they're just straight up awesomeness! Keep up the awesome work!

poser <<< The color work is Sepia. I'll be working that into my mojo from now on :) Rocked the light stick at the reception...thanks again for letting me work your light in Miami. You really have to work the light yourself in order to understand how to shoot with it.
