Location and Studio Photography!

I had the chance to shoot some pretty cool portraits in a couple iconic Akron, OH locations. A series in front of the old Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company building and then a few in front of the remnants of the B.F. Goodrich Factories. The day only got more Rubber City Capitol like when I had a bunch of car passenger tires to photograph in my studio. These were shot with my Canon EOS R5 and the4 Sigma 105mm f/1.4 - and a few wider shots with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART.

Nothing like watching a successful photographer at work showing us their craft. And love the glimpses into post-industrial Akron.

Thanks! Worked hard to get here but still have to pinch myself sometimes that I’m doing what I love in a place I love.

Cool. I appreciate the casual vlog style with bits of techniques you used.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. I'm just getting into photography as I want to combine it with my cycling. Ill be sure to sub!

[@fitzwaterphotography9971]

Awesome! There will be cross-over between the two subjects as they are pretty much my life!

I'm guessing you have a small fortune in camera equipment. Have you ever had a 9-5 job or just been able to do freelance work?
I've been an electrician for over 30 years and have worked for one contractor for over 10 years but other years I've worked for 12 different contractors.

Yeah / tons of money tied up in equipment. I worked 9-5 type jobs most of my life but never in photography. I was a car wash manager, a farm hand, a warehouse worker - all trying to save money to get here. Finally set out on my own one day. Worked hard to get here for sure - was doing 7 days a week and 15 hour days on the farm. When I first went full time photography I would run a dry cleaning delivery route super early every morning to get a consistent paycheck but still be free to shoot when clients needed me.
