A beautiful Lamborghini Murcielago was shot at The Studio by Orcatek Photography.   The car was part of a larger shoot, but they still managed to take a some time and get some shots of the car.

The large automotive softbox was very useful for photographing this car.

Several agency models came to the studio this week to get some new photos for their portfolios. Orcatek Photography created a wide variety of looks for the models, taking advantage of the many shooting areas.

Over the next few weeks a lot more models will be coming thru as their agency sends them down to get some new photos.

Ian Leal came to the studio to get some new modeling photographs for his portfolio shot by Orcatek Photography.  Ian brought a bunch of creative looks which made for a very fun shoot.

Tuesday night Orcatek held an Introduction to Photography class at the studio.  The four hour class covered how to use the features of the students cameras, some compositional guidelines and some basic posing.  As usual the students had plenty of questions.  A few students will be continuing their photographic journey with future classes once they have had some time to practice what they have learned so far.

This weekend The Studio hosted the SCC (Scottsdale Community College) fashion photography class.  The class wanted a chance to shoot models in a large studio environment to see how it differed from  the classroom.  With the multiple shooting areas, there were 3-5 shoots going on at any given time.

Judging by some of the images I saw when reviewing the students work, they created some great photography during the workshop.

This week at The Studio – Phoenix, Pin-up photography by Orcatek was the theme.  Model Alex Hayes wanted some pin-up looks for her modelling portfolio.  A variety of themes were shot during the day.   Here are a couple of the favorites.

Classic pin-up is a very popular trend.  We expect to continue to see a lot of this work being shot at The Studio.

This weekend Orcatek Photography conducted their Introduction to Photography class again.  The 4 hour class had a variety of students.  Some just wanting to learn to use their cameras, others hoping to go and pursue photography further.  The small class size allowed everyone to get some personal attention.

Even more of the fabulous crew from 480 Magazine where photographed at The Studio by Orcatek Photography.   Both the Glam Squad and the Bomb Squad were on hand again with more members.    Had a great time with the whole crew.

The 480 Bomb Squad wasn’t ready for the tub LOL, but they did show why they are called the Bomb Squad.

Orcatek took advantage of the props available at The Studio when you rent it for your photography or video shoots.

Orcatek Photography held a fine art nude photography workshop at The Studio this past week.  The two day workshop featured 5 models over the various days.  The workshop photographers were able to shoot in small groups with the models to make sure everyone had a chance to try out the techniques.

15 different lighting set-ups were shown and used by the students.  Posing was discussed and as the students posed the models, Dean would point out how a slight change to a pose would make a big difference in the final photograph.
