Portrait photography on Fremont Street

I have only six words to describe Debbie and Mike: HOT HOT HOT HOT and HOT! From the moment we met up with these two for a portrait photography session, we knew we were going to have a great shoot; big smiles, cool clothes, piercings and an awesome pair of sleeves – in other words: “HOT”. I’m loving the first shot, with the words “who do you love” in the background. Coincidence or careful planning?

Fremont Street is a great locale for a ‘Vegas style’ shoot; the older casinos retain much of the old school charm that made Las Vegas famous and there’s a goodly number of photo opportunities on Fremont proper and the various side streets.

Shoots like this remind me why I shoot with Nikon cameras – the below shots were taken with my Nikon D700 at ISO 3200 which would leave the image a grainy mess on any other camera, but comes out looking beautiful when shot with the D700. Despite having owned three of the current crop of pro level Nikon since their release date, they never cease to amaze me with their low light capabilities. Having shot film for a decade before switching to digital, this kind of clarity on an ISO 3200 image is simply unheard of!

Enough camera geekery – Debbie and Mike are celebrating eleven years together and their passion is every bit as fiery as the day they met! We enjoyed our time with them and I hope we have the opportunity to work with these two again in the very near future!
