I wanted to share with you  a few stills I took while we were filming our next HDSLR short film.

Merry Christmas from Jake, mommy and daddy. I thought you might like this awesome photo mommy took today using daddy’s professional camera. Daddy has been tutoring mommy on all aspects of shooting portraits and helped her to capture this picture. Daddy said it was a tad overexposed and mommy should have used some exposure compensation. Daddy is very into his photography and has taken so many cool pictures of us all. Regardless of the exposure I like the photo because I’m wearing my new Santa Claus outfit. It’s my first Christmas so I’m very excited. Hopefully I will get a surfboard for Christmas! I will pass you onto my daddy now. Merry Christmas and happy New Year. Little dude Jake.

Thanks for the intro son, you are the best. Today is my last day in the studio.  I will be out of the studio until January 13th and will not have access to emails or a phone. My brain and body need a break before the 2010 season gets underway. A big thank you to all the readers of the blog for your continued support, emails and comments. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I look forward to catching up with you all in the New Year.

All the best, Crash

This morning I was able to take a few snap shots of my beautiful son Jake. The natural light coming through the bedroom window was stunning. He is my inspiration and capturing these beautiful moments is something Ilona and I will cherish forever.

For the photographers out there, 10 minute shoot, camera used was the Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 70-200 2.8 IS L lens. Light was morning natural light only coming through a 6′ x 6′ bedroom window. Shutter speed was approx 60th/second at f3.2. Photoshop was limited to a curves adjustment layer and some sharpening.

Also, a big thank you to everyone who leaves comments on the blog. Much appreciated and you guys and gals ROCK!

My dad and I chillin’ in the French Riviera. He was swimming way to long in the sea, I went to get him as I thought he would get eaten by a shark. Check out the way I’m grabbing his arm. Classic! Must be 1979-1980.

Baby Jake! How intelligent and awesome are those eyes? He absolutely loves his Ferrari t-shirt aunty Paullina bought for him. He wants to wear it everyday. I have a feeling he will be driving a Ferrari one day with Dad chillin’ in the passenger seat We love him so much!

Crash Taylor Photography is rockin’, just booked two more awesome Crash-Art wedding adventures for 2010 today. Between the weddings, upcoming seminars/workshops, portrait shoots and personal projects I think I’m going to have to hire a full time assistant sooner than later. Saturday I will be at Thrumpton Hall photographing the wedding adventure of Lindsey and Mark so stay tuned. Today I spent an hour at Wollaton Hall with Lindsey, Mark and their son Nico for their engagement shoot. Photos will be posted later tonight. Life is good!
