I recently had the pleasure of photographing Nicole Dalrymple-Hall – Mrs. Heart of Texas United America! She is great!
I have been working with the United America Pageant for about a decade, having photographed many of their queens over the years. What a great group of people. Everyone I have worked with there has been truly wonderful. They have a very intentional focus on community service as a major objective of the group.
Since this is a photography blog, I should mention what gear I was using. I was shooting with two different cameras during the photo session, a Canon EOS 6D and the new Sony a7 RIII. The Sony did an exceptional job, creating impressive fine-detailed 42.4MP images with excellent dynamic range. The capability of automatically focusing on and tracking eyes is really great for portrait work. In a few days, I will share more images shot with the Sony where I tested it a lot more. For all of these shots in studio, I used Photogenic monolights.
