Trains and Engagements?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I was told today I needed to post to my blog. “Either your dead or you’re not doing anything!” were the exact words I think.

I’m here, alive and kicking. Engagements have officially kicked off in full speed with this warm weather! I took Payton and Clory out on Monday to do their shoot. We hit up the train tracks to get some safe portraits of them for the parents. That older generation doesn’t always understand the word artistic! I’m actually kidding. I like a good mixture but I told them if for any reason that train comes we are gonna take some photos! So that’s where this came from. I’ll be posting their actually photos very soon which are nothing less than awesome!

Stir Magazine

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

The magazine should be in print on Friday. It’s viewable online at stircolumbia.com It’s a brand new magazine that just went monthly with this issue.

I shot William the professional poker player. We had a lot of cool shots. The editor chose this one because of the freeze frame of the Aces. It was quite a lucky capture. William worked it perfectly.

Also did the Rosso restaurant shoot. That place is really nice. They should be opening pretty soon. What I did there was actually take 4 different photos and stitched them together.

I photographed Katie, the bartender, as well. I believe her face was getting a little warm from the flame.

I also did the car shots. I was a little restricted shooting in a parking lot last minute. I’m hoping I get a lot more flexibility on the next one. I’ll post a few more later on.

Officer Skinner

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Ah. My first post!

I photographed a military ball the other week here in Columbia. One of the things I had to do for it was a portrait session. I took Lieutenant Skinner out to this ‘vintage’ historical site and attempted to get some really new and edgy shots. I wanted to go away from the norm and try something a little different. We definitely succeeded!

Ended up meeting some really cool people that day. I met one of one of the first guys I ever photographed while teaching myself photography in 2005. I ventured out to the Veteran’s day parade in November of that year. I actually turned the camera on complete manual that day for the first time. Took a shot of two gentlemen in an old military vehicle. When I looked through my archive it was definitely the same guy I met that day. Small world. And no I don’t suggest shooting in manual during a parade!
