Hoops.

So I decided to play around with some sports shooting on a whim with my good friend Phillip this weekend. I used a single Alien Bee powered by a vagabond and decided to just wing it. These are far from perfect but I figured I would post them for fun.

Jason Tuggle Band

Somehow I managed to not post this last semester. I did a multimedia piece on the Jason Tuggle Band back in the summer (link). Last semester for my Photographic Illustration class I did a photo shoot with the band. Here was my favorite image from the shoot.

Carnival Cruises.

I recently went on a Carnival Cruise with my beautiful girlfriend, Billie, and her family. Being as beautiful as she is, I took a lot of pictures of Billie naturally. I snapped this shot while she was getting ready to go out one day and I just really liked it. I wanted to play around with making advertisements so I made a fake carnival ad to showcase the cabins. I know it doesn't show much of the cabin, but I feel like it gives you the feel that you're in one. Either way I really like the photo and had fun playing around with this. Here is the image.

Silhouette Ships.

I recently began a music project with my lovely girlfriend, Billie. We've been in a long distance relationship out entire college careers so obviously the web played a big part in this. We wrote songs mostly over Skype with demos in GarageBand or Pro Tools (she has Pro Tools because she's fancier than me). When I visited over my winter break we played a show in Florida. So we had a somewhat presentable webpage for the band, I decided to take some band promos of us. The final image is below.

Here are a few extras and bloopers from the shoot:

Elements Studio

I've spent the last 9 weeks or so on an internship at Elements Studio in High Point, NC. It's been a very an valuable experience and I learned a lot. There's a great group of people working at Elements and I got the privilege to get them all together to shoot their company Christmas and New Years cards. I coordinated shoot, turned our preexisting cloud set (painted by Ryan, Bo, and myself) into a mountainscape, and brought everyone together for this really fun shoot.  Here are the final shots!

This is an extra shot from when we were goofing off.

Hardcore Parkour!

If you don't know what parkour is I suggest you watch this first.

Now that you've been briefed check out a really talented friend of mine, Luke Reynolds. 

Sports Composite

Joe Sauerbrey was kind enough to put on some of his biking gear to model for this composite portrait.

Joe was shot in the RCC studio, and the background was a 7 image HDR shot in Archdale.
