Personal Work and a new Blog
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Haven't posted anything in a long time!! So, here's some recent personal work. You can also check out my blog here. It's sort of a journal of personal work, rather than a portfolio showcase - feel free to let me know what you think.

Senior Session
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Karissa is one of our Model Reps for the class of 2010 and we did our first "Inspired Image 2010" session with her over the weekend. She was great to work with and you can't tell from these shots just how cold she actually was. Patrick Stepney, a current student at Hallmark, did a fantastic job helping me out - thanks for all the hard work.
You can see some more images here.

Some personal work...
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
It was overcast and generally miserable weather-wise over the weekend. I was craving color.

Self Assignment: Stuff in the kitchen
Monday, August 4, 2008
There's usually a high turnover of "stuff" in the kitchen, so it seemed like a good place to find newer/unused things - also, it makes breaking for lunch much more convenient (I also shot everything in the kitchen). Anyway, I had a concept in mind after looking under the sink - that resulted in the first image. The second image is a bit more conceptual, in that I liked the colors more than the content ;).

Paper Work
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Been playing around with the latest version of Photoshop (it's still new to me) - these are the results of opening an image as a smart object, then creating a smart object copy which is "reprocessed" at a different color temp and then blended with a mask. Sure, I could probably do the same thing with a hue/sat adjustment layer but with CS3 the numbers all go to eleven.

Some Personal Work
Wednesday, June 4, 2008
Going through some recent images I noticed that I seem to have gotten into the habit of shooting almost everything vertically. I've got some portrait sessions coming up this weekend and these images were the result of me trying to work on my horizontal compositions. The DVDs are window light and the rest are a mix of window light and a single off camera speedlight.

Congratulations Giuli Ann & Michael!!!
Monday, April 28, 2008
Giuli-Ann and I graduated Hallmark together in 06 and have remained in contact since then - so I was honored (and a bit nervious!) when she asked me to shoot her wedding. On April 12, 2008 Laura and I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Giuli-Ann Williams to Michael Marchiano at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando. And what a blast it was!! Giuli-Ann was absolutely stunning and she and Michael make a great couple. We wish them all the best! Here are some outtakes from the day...

Hallmark Assistants
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of working with two current Hallmark students: Liesl & Gabriel. We did three separate on-location sessions and they did a fantastic job - keeping everything running smoothly, watching gear and holding various reflectors and flags in almost gale force winds (OK - maybe just really gusty - but you get the idea). Here are a few shots from what I've gone through so far - and best of luck to the current class with Phase IV.

Some recent portraits - I've been going through the past few months' work looking for candidates for my new website which should be up sometime between next month and when I die.
