Product on Location

I photographed this heel on location to make it have a natural feel. I decided on this location to create a contrast between the vibrant colors of the high heel and the monochromatic stone to make the heel come to life. The shadows on the stone wall  helps emphasize the shoes shape and elegant form since it has same shape as the heel. 

Orange Monkey

This brightly colored orange monkey caught my attention as I walked around the Santa Barbara Zoo. This monkey was full of energy as he ran around his cage having fun. For one split second he stood still as he looked up at the other monkeys. This allowed me to capture his profile as the sun highlighted his pug like face. 

Dad

This is a photograph of my dad, Bob Slezak. There is no one word to describe him, he is a great man; caring, brave, funny, loving, generous, strong, hardworking and much much more. I am thankful to have him in my life; I know no matter how far apart we may be at times I can still turn to him for help and support. I have so many great memories with him and continue to make more that I will cherish for a life time. Thanks dad for always being there and believing in me. 

Product Shot On Location

This is a product shot I took of a necklace using all available light. This necklace looked like an old pocket watch you might find an older gentleman carrying around in his pocket back in the day; so I decided to photograph it in my friend’s old barn. I chose this location because even though this product is new, it has the old time feeling which was brought out with the rusty tractor. I tried capturing the necklace in a few different ways, but in the end I liked this image the best. I was able to get it to sit and lean just right on top of the tractor’s gas cap so that it would capture the light just right. 

Cape Cod Sunset

Cape Cod sunsets are one of the things I miss now that I am living in California. Wherever you are on the Cape, you can see the setting sun casting vibrant colors in the sky. No matter the season, Cape Cod sunsets can be a magical experience which take your breath away. Picture the beautiful fiery sun slowly slipping into the water, casting magnificent hues of brilliant oranges, reds, yellows, blues and purples into the huge sky above. The bright blue water picks up every color of the setting sun creating a mirror image in the rippling water.  

Classic Cars

Antique classic cars are a common subject matter of mine, although I don’t know a lot about these cars I, enjoy photographing them. Classic cars all seem to have a sense of character and history behind them which I try to capture. These cars are all unique in style, color, make, and history. For some reason or another, someone has preserved these classic cars. Looking at them can take you back in history showing you a glimpse of what the past was like. When I photograph antique cars, I try to capture the details.
