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.
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!
