I’m loving the FxCamera app on my Motorola Droid.

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:09:43 +0000

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.

Senior Portraits on a Rainy Day in Charlotte

admin — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:22:49 +0000

This spring in Charlotte turned out to be monsoon season or something, and this shoot was booked, canceled, and re-booked a couple of times. Even on the day of the shoot, we had to work around evening thunder and rain to make these photos. The rain let up eventually and we were able to get out in the open at the parking deck we were shooting in. I like this spot for senior pictures for dudes. It’s got a good industrial/mechanical/steel feel which makes guys look a little more at home. Check these out, and let me know what you think.

Backlight is Your Friend

I like backlit shots. Backlit shots on stairs are cool, too. This is one. As I get minutes here and there, I’m still processing images from a shoot I did with some friends in Mooresville. So the images are showing up randomly in posts like this. Enjoy!

Downtown Mooresville Fashion Shoot

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 13:48:01 +0000

I got together with a couple other photographer friends and models for a fashion style shoot in downtown Mooresville. We just wanted to test out some equipment, and see what we could find in terms of interesting settings around town. Turns out, Mooresville offers a lot of good locations for photos. Here is a sneak peek of 1 of the images… I’ll get more posted when I get some time to edit.

Location Scouting

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:31:13 +0000

I’m always looking for good locations and scenes to do portrait sessions in Charlotte. There’s one area that I’ve driven past so much that I practically never even give it a second thought. Something clicked the other day, and I realized it would be perfect for a late afternoon photo shoot. So I took my test models (wife & daughter) out for a quick shoot to see what I could produce. I got several photos that I think are great, and shared a couple below…

I’ll definitely add this to my list of spots for future portrait sessions, and the lesson here is that exotic (or studio) locations are easy to dream about. Sometimes, though, you’ll find a really great backdrop right under your nose.

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.

Charlotte Newborn Photo Session

Mom and Baby in Natural Light

Last week I was asked to photograph this beautiful 2 week old baby at the family’s home in Charlotte. This photo of her mom holding her is one of my favorite images I’ve made. Maybe it’s because her expression reminds me of my own daughter; maybe it’s the natural light; maybe it’s just a sweet portrait of a baby with her mom.

Gearing up for Photo Workshop on the 16th.

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:35:54 +0000

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.
