This week is “LA week” on the studio3z blog. First up….
I constantly keep a mental list of shoots that I would like to do, and it probably changes daily. One thing that has been on the list for a while is a night shoot. I wanted a good challenge-just my camera + good lenses, no flash, and only using available light when found (because the whole shoot was new territory). That is exactly what we did for this, minus 2 photos taken inside Elijah’s house.
Meet Jason and Elijah of {vinegar + oil}. They are DJ’s, and pretty rad ones at that.
I feel like I need to apologize ahead of time for their hotness…It’s not their fault. They really can’t help it.
*me loves*
One of Brett’s favorites.

my favorite, which will soon grace a wall in our home.
thanks boys. you played nice. xxoo
Whenever my brother comes to town from Virginia for a show, I make sure I go see him. Since he was going to be in town for Thanksgiving, someone he knew asked if he wanted to be added to a show at Molly Malone’s in Covington, KY. Our very good friend Matt happened to be in town that night from Columbus, and Billy and Matt have been know to do some fun improv music when we all hang out at my parents on T-day. Billy asked Matt to accompany on a couple songs with his flugle horn…it was awesome.
Billy started out with some solo stuff….if you missed the promo shots I did for his solo album, look HERE.
I promise that no husbands were intentionally flicked off in the taking of this image.
(I was kinda grumpy, so Brett did all the photos this night.)
Matt chowing down some Irish grub before his debut. Vegetarians, I apologize. :)
They were rocking it out!
They even sang together…
Chatting it up afterwords…
:) The End.
Wow!
You guys are rockstars!
Love all of them…. Very diverse selection of shots.
3rd one down is RAD.
thanks adam….i love that shot like crazy.
Jess and Brett!
I love these!!! You’re both incredible. Thank you again for the shoot. The results are beautiful. The shot with the headlights is brilliant!
I miss you guys. Give my love to the kids.
xo e
Some really fantastariffic shots!
awesome as always!!!
What an amazing shoot! All natural light? I don’t know how you do it. I love the variety. They are all fantastic but 3,11 and 12 are so hot.
So…. is it just me or does Elijah look exactly like Elijah Wood? And if it really is him, are you totally pretending that you didn’t just have a photo shoot with a famous guy? Also… you really did an awesome job… lighting is perfect. It takes great guys to be willing to model for you like that! :) I should work in some more exercises for myself like this one! Thanks for the inspiration. :)
these shots are so frickin’ awesome. loving the retro-chic vibe!
my photography heart just exploded with joy and love. these are insane guys. word.
You are so fabulous. Can I be you when I grow up?
so i guess these were kind of worth the week long wait of no blogging… i almost went through withdrawal!!! hehe.
amazing work, i think you’ve just entered into a new category of awesomeness, if that was possible!
i have to admit i was a bit shocked when i saw the subject matter… but that just goes to show the shallowness of our general brush with celebrity! don’t worry… i got over it! even still beautiful work… beautiful men. :)
wow these are fucking awesome. thanks for inviting me on the shoot! :)
Beautiful, seriously, amazing.
Ethan keeps asking for you guys!
