This is a shoot Matt Wertz and I did this week at a Local Nashville clothing store Imogene and Willies, It was mostly shot all natural light and a few reflectors. I was going for the GQ classic style pages in the back of the mag… If you just so happen to get GQ..

My friend sent me a new “The Search for God and Guinness” sighting on the men’s web-site http://www.uncrate.com. The site blogs multiple times daily about new cool finds for men from books, to cars, to bacon jam! (YES!) to about a million other things guys might be somewhat interested… Go take a look!

I had friends of mine ask me to shoot their wedding – with the understanding that I haven’t shot weddings in the past and hadn’t planned on doing so in the future. I took it on with the understanding that it might be a fun challenge and a different experience to have under my belt, plus I wanted to see the difference in worlds for shooting commercial verses wedding photography. Interestingly enough I actually enjoyed shooting the wedding and the bridal portraits! I guess there are different types of pressure involved in both fields. For weddings, you only get a few chances to get pretty good to great shots, for commercial – you have more time but are expected to turn in brilliant shots (with 20 people looking over your shoulder at all times) Great Experience none-the-less.

WEDDING? WHY NOT?

From time to time, I have random funny ideas that pop up and I just have to execute them. Thankfully I have willing enough friends to come over to the studio and help me work thru some of these! Thanks Ally for willing to follow through with the fun!

FUN WITH CANDY

I think one thing that is extremely overlooked in post-modern photography, especially with all the glossy post-production happening is the story element to the photograph, It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the look and totally overlook the soul of the image. I’m convinced people are naturally drawn to images they can sense the story in, than glitsy – glossy shots that have nothing behind them… Above is an image I tried to achieve a little of both in – This, I think is the hardest of all to do.

TELLING THE STORY

Last Thursday I shot a Student Ministry Banner Campaign with Models from Advantage Models and Talent. The Banner will end up being 12 feet tall by 30 feet wide. I’m sure if you go to a National Student Ministry Conference, you won’t miss it! Thanks to Misty for putting together a great group of teens -

I was walking in Green Hills Mall Friday night and walked across this display with one of the books I recently designed. If you get a chance – Go pick this book up! Very fascinating!
