For once, a shoot in my home turf =) Very often it’s me that goes to my clients/subjects, not them that comes to my home town. To clear things up, I live in the suburbs of Chicago, not too far away from the big city, but far enough that I’ve made a few wishes to live closer…
For once though I got to drive less than 5 minutes to photograph a shoot! =D
Several photographers got together in my home town of Bolingbrook to photograph 4 models in a cornfield and later on Green Valley Forest Preserve:
- Melissa Diep Photography : Much props to her!!!! She set up and ran an incredible shoot.
- Steven Ryne Photography
- Samuel Barr
- Patricia R. Epps
- Tracy Lynn Deiss
- Benjie Urbina
- Jonathan Robson
As you can see there were a serious amount of photographers. And those are the ones I got the information from!
For this shoot I brought along a Canon 5d Mark I and only 2 lenses: A 50mm f/1.2, and 85mm f/1.2.
These are the images I captured:
Melanie I swear is Vanessa Williams' lost twin sister....
Yee. Haw.
Stolen Moments.
Escape.
Awesome. Boots.
Valerie has an awesome profile. Totally loved working with her!!!
Valerie rocked the shoot in the field!
After we shot in the field, we then headed to Green Valley Forest Preserve – a beautiful park with an incredibly huge hill that gave u a clear view over 40 miles:
Michelle was awesome! She naturally knew what to do when posing!
She also has a beautiful smile!
Totally natural light used here from the sun in the late afternoon. I never used any artificial light.
What I loved about Valerie here was her incredible profile.
She could totally model for Abercrombie.
I like this as it seems to actually be a wedding moment.
This one also seems like it could be an original wedding moment.
As we were leaving, I saw this! =D
Let me know what you guys think! And Happy Friday!!!!

Great photos Marc! Looked like a nice bright sunny day. Do you ever find yourself maxing out the shutter speed if shooting wide open on days like this? let me know if you shoot with a ND filter or something. i find that 2.8 is the widest i’ll go cause my shutter speed maxes out at 1/5000 if it’s really bright out.
nice work as always marc. thanks for coming out to this event. hope you can make it to the chicago winter trash the dress! i’ve already started planning for it!
