It’s been a long time since I’ve had the opportunity to just shoot a car without any time constraints, deadlines, or expectations. Alan and I caught a break in the weather on Sunday night and despite having my SB-600 and umbrella on stand blown down by the wind, the photos still turned out great and Alan was very happy with the outcome. I also used this opportunity to test out the Nikkor 85mm ƒ1.4G that I rented from BorrowLenses and it […]
I had the honor of photographing Stephanie and Travis’ wedding last December, and now I had the honor of photographing their maternity photos. We had a bit of a scare because the weather was looking rather gloomy, but we caught a break with only a little bit of light drizzle and none of the continuous rain that was predicted. This was also my first time taking photos at Seattle’s Volunteer Park, which turned out to be a great suggestion from […]
Hagen is Garret’s brother, so I was more than happy to take their engagement photos, along with his upcoming wedding as well. Hagen and Natalie were going with a nautical theme for their wedding and wanted some shots with the Seattle skyline behind them, so Alki was the obvious choice for some good locations. We lost light pretty fast, but thanks to R.J. Deguzman’s help with reflector and off-camera speedlight work, we were still able to get some good captures. […]
For the second year in a row, I was fortunate enough to shoot DeadMau5 for the Seattle Weekly. I shot the entire show with just my Nikkor 24-70mm ƒ2.8, and its lightning-quick focusing proved to be very invaluable. The show was amazing as usual and I was able to get some great crowd photos. You can see all the published photos at the Seattle Weekly link above, but here are a few of my favorites: See more here: https://photos.arminausejo.com/Events/DeadMau5-8-18-2011/

Love Letter to the Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR
All photographers have favorite lenses, and more often than not, these lenses are usually pretty easy to guess. A fast prime like an 85mm or 35mm f/1.4 is usually among them, or some might stick with the “nifty-fifty” 50mm f/1.8, while others might pick one of the “holy trinity” of f/2.8 zoom lenses in the 14-24mm, 24-70mm, or 70-200mm ranges. While I do have some favorites among those, this post is not about that. Instead, this is my love letter […]
