here we finally go with my latest geeking series. as already explained HERE I shot this in the malibu cannyons near los angeles ( or is it actually a part of los angeles?! ). the wonderful casey mckinnon agreed to be part in all this, which makes it sooooo much more amazing.
I changed everything up a littlebit and the differnet parts of the geeking series will not only consist of 3 pictures anymore.
but you’ll see. hope you like this first part of the latest installment!
enjoy!
ok here is the story.
I was joining the first gamescamp ever (I think). which basically is a barcamp with its main focus on games, in general.
anyway. we had planned a big party for saturday evening/night. djs, pokertables, drinks en masse, etc. etc. one thing I didn’t know though was we also had a boutique owner invited to present some of his stuff and give the visitors the possibility to shop for some nice clothes.
as I was walking back, extremly victorious I might add, from the poker tables, the boutique owner asked me if I could take some shots of his model in one of the outfits.
I had most of my gear in the car parked outside, so I agreed and got most of the stuff I needed. unfortunatley I didn’t get my ezybox softboxes as they were burried somewhere in the depth of my cars trunk, but more on that later on.
so we started a little bit hecticly, and yes the hectic part was on my side 
, as I wasn’t sure how much time we had. the model was jsut amazingly cool and got her poses right rightaway. as we finished, I somehow ended up with two more beautiful grls in the boutique owners dresses and basically kept shooting. stunning girls, great dresses and a very good energy jsut built up.
we went through all this in a maximum of two hours, including the search forthe right spots, setting up and all. so I am very satisfied to that regard. the only thing I could bite my own butt is, that I didn’t think of a easy way to diffuse the light more. the photos turned out good and all, but still with two or three softboxes the whole thing would have had a much nicer touch I think.
anyways… here you go, I hope you’ll enjoy and please let me know what you think!!!
all the best

I am not sure if this is the first of the next batch or just a teaser for the next installment of my geeking series. I was visiting the US with my girlfriend and as we were planning the trip for some time and I already had some contact with the amazing casey mckinnon and she was interested in a geeky photoshoot, so we planned a little bit and right after comic con we met up in LA and went looking for a few locations.
originally we had planned to drive to joshua tree but it is a bit far and our schedules were a bit tight so malibu was the best choice. and honestly… all we looked for. I had a blast and hopefully casey did so too 
thankfully her partner rudy joined us and was so gracious to help me out holding the reflector and also having some nice tips up his sleeve.
thanks you guys so much for everything, and I hope you’ll enjoy the shots as much as I do. oh and most of the other shots will take a little while as I am in the middle of editing a huge wedding shoot and still have a few thousand vacation shots in front of me also more on the vacation later also of course!
THIS though is about the ongoing geeking series. and you can also use the blog search for more info or just head over to my flickr stream!
let me know what you think people! I hope you like it!
all the best
teymur.
