My First Shots From The Studio
A couple nights ago, Candace helped me sew the black backdrop for the studio. After we were done, we decided to jump in and try it out. We just wore what we had on from work that day and hopped under the bright lights.
Like I said earlier, this is my first time working in a real studio with lights. It’s a little harder than I was expecting. My first problem was how bright the umbrellas would reflect the light. I read up a lot and I think I figured that out a little. Also, a big thanks goes to my dad for building me a power strip that could alter the power and dim the lights to what I need. I hope I’m as smart as him when my little boy asks me something.
So here are the photos. From them, we learn two things:
- It is embarrassingly obvious that I belong behind the lens, not in front of it. Please don’t accuse me of trying to “bring sexy back”. (I just used that line on purpose to show how much I’m not trying to be cool in these pictures.)
- Candace, 5 1/2 months pregnant and after a full day of work, is still as beautiful as ever.
I’d be interested to hear what anyone has to say about the lighting or the post-processing. I’d like to fine tune this hobby.

About Me
My name is Brian Stucki. I live in Las Vegas with my wife Candace and my son Cole. Other interests include my company, my religion, sports, and learning about history.
Feel free to contact me.
I really like these pictures of both of you!! Keep them coming…
Candace IS beautiful. Red is a good color on you. Now all you need is a portrait of baby Slim to have the whole family! I really like the soft lighting. It makes everyone have a light glow that is complementing.
Wow. You are right. Candace is glowing. Also, your black hair might not work so well with the black backdrop, but I still see a glint of Michael Jackson in your eyes in that last picture.
Rachel, I noticed the black hair too. Next time, I’m going to place the reflector a bit higher so that it bounces the light down to my hair. I think that will help…and I won’t look like Michael Jackson.
I am impressed. Candace is hott!!! lol
Wow stunning pictures. You are amazing and your dad is even more amazing. Do you do any digital enhancing to your photos? I recently got my lighting equipment and backgrounds. I share the hobby. Is it fun or what!
