Carlton SooHoo, travel & commercial photographer

Ako @ WAS Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo Akonwara [sometimes aka Nathalie] is a really cool and hip dancer and model. In this photo, she was dressed in the clothing style of Japanese street fashion called Fruits . Here is a blog entry that provides a great description of this fashion trend. You can also see other Ako's images here , and my earlier blog posting here . Oh right, and here is a bunch more photos of her.

Space shuttle Endeavor Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo I went on a family trip to Orlando and we visited the Kennedy Space Center . The space shuttle Endeavor was on the launch pad awaiting a targeted launch of March 11, 2008. This viewing tower was about a mile away. This is a stitched image from 11 images.

Boston Skyline Nightime Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo Over in East Boston is LoPresti Park where this photo was taken on a cold evening. This is stitched together from seven images. This panoramic photo is among several images hanging in MA state senator Steven Panagiotakos' office.

Hey fans, my panoramic portrait of Stephen Finn's interview for the Larry Stark documentary won best of show in the Commercial Industrial Photographer's of New England print competition. It's displayed on their website and I grabbed a screen capture to show you.

Lily at Western Avenue Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo I had the pleasure of working with Lily , who is a very talented model. She's creative with her posing and very professional, and all around fun girl to hang with. You can see her Model Mayhem portfolio here . This photo was taken using one SB-800 flash, on 1/4 power, to light up most of the area around Lily. You can see that it was at camera left by the shadow on the wall. Another SB-800, 1/8 power, had a color temperature orange gel and snoot, to direct light into the face and chest area. Camera was set to tungsten white balance about 2500K. ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/125 sec. I also found a cool link tutorial about mapping text onto irregular surfaces so I used it to write Lily's name on the wall.

Ava Art Custom Framers Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo My friend Kathy is a custom framer who will come to your location and help you choose frames for your art. She will look around and make suggestions as to where to hang the framed pieces. In this day of disappointing and poor customer service, Kathy is a breath of fresh air. Please be sure to visit her website at http://avaart.com . After she frames my photographs, I'll photograph the framed images and post them to this blog. Check back in another week.

Gillette Stadium - New England Patriots Football Stadium Originally uploaded by carltonsoohoo Now that the New England Patriots football team has won all of their regular season games and broken countless football records in the process, I thought it would be a good time to post my panoramic image of their home stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. This stadium is called Gillette Stadium and it is where the New England Revolution Soccer Team plays as well. Click on the photo to see it larger on my Flickr page. To see the photo in full 360° rotation, click here. I was there to photograph the Special Olympics Massachusetts 2006 annual gala, which was held in the Fidelity Clubhouse.
