Barrett Jackson OC11

Barrett Jackson Orange County was a cool auction. Literally nice and Costa Mesa, California cool. They had $14m in sales, $850k was raised for charities, and 60,000 people walked through the gates. 60% of the bidders where new to Barrett Jackson and they purchased half of the cars. I got to photograph all the cars, the people, the auctioneers, the charities, the celebrities, and the action. It was a great event. www.barrett-jackson.com       www.alstrinphotography.com

Pequenos Milagros (Small Miracles)

I photograph people, places, and things. I work out of Phoenix, Arizona but will be more than glad to go anywhere, especially when it is 120 degrees in the shade. Here are some iP4/Instagram images for ya to check out. No job to big, to small, or to boring for me. I just love working and love being able to make a living at being a photographer. It is all I have done and all I want to do. I hope you enjoy.                                                              www.alstrinphotography.com

Lugares Hermosos (Beautiful Places)

Though usually when I get to go out of town I am doing it for photography work. I have been lucky enough to go on one trip for work and one trip for concert watching, Mexican food eating, Pacifico drinking, sunset watching relaxing fun this summer. The trip for work was for Barrett Jackson Orange County included a week of photographing beautiful cars and enjoying weather in the 70s. The trip to Mexico was to renew my Mexican business license but mostly to see Random Karma and Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers play for Circus Mexicus. Both, beautiful places and included is an image from each of two of my other favorite places – Oregon and Burning Man. These are iP4/Instagram images.                                           www.alstrinphotography.com

Tiffiny’s Portraits

We shot Tiffiny’s senior portraits in downtown phoenix yesterday. She goes to Cactus Shadows School now and will go going to the downtown ASU Campus next year. We looked for locations that were old and had great textures and colors and wanted to make the images look fun as possible. In two hours we shot in a dozen different spots with six outfit changes. I shoot portraits in any and all parts of the valley. The great spring time weather made it really easy to be walking and driving around downtown in the late afternoon easy and comfortable too.                                                   www.alstrinphotography.com

AZ Weddings Magazine

These are some editorial studio images that were shot for a fashion spread  and for some of the covers of Arizona Weddings Magazine 2010/2011 edition. They wanted to use only one model and show as many different looks as possible, so with each dress change there was hair and make up changes. After the photo shoot we did some post production work in adding the b/w flowered backgrounds to the images. We photographed the model in 12 different dresses with 12 different looks and in addition we did other sets of shots for the magazine covers.     www.arizonaweddings.com    www.alstrinphotography.com

Speedworld Drag Racing

Went to the nostalgic old school drags in Wittmann, Arizona last weekend to photography a couple friends of mine running their cars. More often than not I am photographing cars while they are not going 250 mph, so it was fun. The weather was awesome for spending a day at the 50th anniversary of Speedworld Drag Strip.                                      www.speedworlddragstrip.com                                    www.alstrinphotography.com

Tucker Carlson

I shot Tucker Carlson speaking to customers of First Western Trust Bank last week at The Tempe Center For The Arts. There could not be a cooler location to watch or listen to a play or a speaker. What a great place. The last wedding I photographed there was spectacular. Just  a awesome lakeside facility. Wednesday nights there are open mike night which I hear is very cool and are run by Tempe’s long time great Walt Richardson.          www.tempe.gov/tca   www.waltrichardsonmusic.com                             www.alstrinphotography.com
