Here’s an outtake image from a shoot last week in the Outer Banks. We were in the middle of a portrait session in Nags Head, and had to take advantage of a little shade to touch up some makeup. Doesn’t matter if the photographer gets all grimy during a shoot, but we have to keep the models cool and clean!

Family picture day is serious business.
I just installed the FxCamera app on my Droid, and took a little time to play with it. The app has 4 main image effects that you can select before snapping a photo: toy camera, polandroid, fisheye, symmetry, and Andy Warholizer. I like the first 2. The others are slightly on the cheesy side for me, but your mileage may vary. I mean we are talking about a mobile phone camera app here… it ain’t rocket science. It’s just a fun way to throw a little creativity down while I’m between real photo shoots.
Give the Valentine’s Day gift that lasts… We’re offering a special gift package for Valentine’s Day gifts. These photo sessions are $99 for a 1/2 hour shoot and 2 5×7 prints. That’s about what a dozen roses and a box of chocolates will set you back (last time I checked anyway), and I guarantee your photos will last longer than whatever flowers or chocolate you buy.
Get all the info here.
I haven’t been shooting much in the last couple weeks. Here’s what’s coming up, though…
Some friends & I are setting up a photo workshop on the 16th. Looking to do a little creative collaboration and portfolio padding. Our location was gonna be a sweet junkyard in Charlotte. But it fell through, so we’re scrambling (a little) to get something else worked out. Got 5 photogs, 5 models, and a couple MUA/hair folks on the hook. So stay tuned for pics from that if it all gets together.
Surprise! Vision Photos & Design is switching over to the tried-and-true WordPress platform. New look and content coming VERY soon.
This shot is from a Mixx Master’s Lounge live concert taping. I was on the floor near the stage, and watched the studio lights for a few minutes. I picked up their rhythm and was able to capture this just as the rear spot light landed on the singer.
I shot staff portraits for Lifepointe Church in Charlotte. This group shot didn’t come out the way I hoped. I shot from the 3rd floor of a parking deck at Ayrsley while the group stood at ground level. Overcast sky made for even light, but I threw a little extra down on them with a diffused SB28dx. I think I could have worked this angle a little better. I’ve got some ideas to re-shoot this if I can get everybody back together again.
Nate and Emilee wanted to take advantage of one of the best fall days this year, and get some portraits. We shot photos all around Fort Mill, SC, and the 2 of them made for some beautiful images. I like coming away with shots like this that show some interaction between people. Shooting with a small, portable camera kit is key. I need to be able to move quickly and shoot from the hip without worrying about tripping on light stands, or moving reflectors around. For this shoot I used the D1x, a shoe mounted SB28dx with a Lumiquest soft box and a broken Nikkor 18-70mm DX lens.
