guitar photos.

So earlier this evening, i shot a family portrait for a friend of mine, his grandparents have been together 50 years and were celebrating their anniversary. He asked me to if i could come by and photograph all of them and grandparents. Anyway, this buddy of mine is also an excellent guitarist and plays in a few local bands around town, so after the portraits he asked if i could photograph one of his guitars just for fun. so i thought id share few of those pics with you all. (Not putting up the family portrait ones since its paid work, and i usually don't post anything that belongs to a client for privacy, etc.) not looking for any C&C or anything, in fact i just picked up my light stand with an SB-800 attached and took it into his guitar room. lol, so sorry if the background is distracting and what not.. this is for all the guitar fans out there! 2009 Les Paul Traditional.

Very nice. I have a black Les Paul, but yours is nicer looking. I haven't played it much lately, but will never sell it.....

Nice guitars : ) Though I work in one of the biggest music stores in the US and I'm surrounded by them every day : )

I probably would have left the lens wide open - all that color would have made for some pretty bokeh.

I just watched a 'Led Zepplin' video of one of the early 1970's concerts and this looks identical to the guitar Jimmy Page was playing.

I am not a guitar expert by any means, but I swear this is the model he was using.

Great Video of them at the Royal Albert Hall, 1972 I believe.

Great photog work BTW, were you using a Tilt-Shift on this? Just curious

And here's a handmade guitar!

Held by the maker--I was actually there to photograph his very GREEN and ECO-friendly house for a Green Building Open House Tour--but I saw this guitar and just asked him to pose with it quick for a shot--to show it to my guitar-enthusiast spouse. He built his house. And he just had the idea for this guitar, and wow--he built it!

If I'd been THINKING, I would have turned him and got a better photo by having the window to one side of him, instead of behind him.
