Students Mid-Term Work











I know I have never posted anything but my own work. That being said. I think it is time to change all of that. As many of you already know that besides being a full time photographer, husband and dad. I also teach photography part time at Brenau University. This has been a great experience for me over the past few years. I have met some of the best people through this job. These ladies really mean business. I have probably learned more from them than they have from me ( I hope nobody at the school reads my blog ). Let's just say I try to teach to the best of my ability for what that's worth. Anyway I was so proud of the ladies in my photography class for the first half of the semester. I wanted to share the work that was turned in after only about eight weeks of class. Remember some of these ladies have never had any instruction on photography as far as how light works in an image and how to draw the viewer into the image. Also, do keep in mind that most of the students only have point and shoot cameras. This is just an example of how photography is more about what is in your head and not the type of camera in your hands. Remember the camera is only a tool.

Lisa







This is what happens when you have an art student ask you to photograph her. You end up with paint everywhere.

Back from Las Vegas



Well I am back. We flew in last night into Atlanta. I wanted to do a post to say I am back and yes I did see Elvis. Here is the proof. I have a lot more images to post from the wedding. I hope to get them up ASAP. I will also have some photos up on FaceBook as soon as I can.

The Boyd Twins


This is a session from Wednesday morning. These guys are the hansom twins of some very sweet clients that Travis has been photographing for years. I have had the good fortune to meet this family several years ago and was the second shooter for the twins mom and dad's wedding and the their aunt and uncle's wedding. All in all just a joy to have in the studio plus I can always talk to the boys grandfather about Georgia Tech football.

Getting the Gear Together


I thought I would take a shot with my iphone to show some of the things I find myself doing during the day. This is why my back hurts a lot when I get home at night. This is the kind of gear I have to carry around with me for Commercial shoots. Although I do try to use just my Nikon strobes when I can. Today calls for a little more light than can be produced with those.

Whitworth Kids

Travis and I photographed two cute kids this afternoon. We have been photographing the little boy since he was about three months old, but today he brought in his little sister to show off. I wanted to do this post because he is a very proud Georgia Bulldog fan. (Along with his Dad.) So don't judge him by the number on the jersey because it is red and black and the number seven. It is actually Matthew Stafford's number (Who has since gone pro.) not Michael Vick. So any way I couldn't post images of him with out showing off his beautiful baby sister. I know I will hear it from all of my Tech friends. Remember I am still a Georgia Tech fan, but how can you not like this kid.

Heidi






Well, I am back from the crazy world of Christmas. I hope everyone had a great break. The family and I had a great time together except when I went to see my mom. That's just because she can only stand to be around me for so many hours and then she has to take a break. haha! I can't remember but I think she has been that way since my birth.
Ok. I will get down to the real reason for the post. Classes just started back at Brenau University where I do a little part time teaching for the digital photography class. So over the next couple of weeks I thought I would do a little look back at a couple of the ladies that modeled for my class. I always work as low budget as I can so if you model for my class I will always do some shots myself and give you the images. Hey at least the students have nice images for the old face book page. So anyway this is a few shots from the shoot with Heidi. I will also try to put up some more shots soon from some of the other people from last year that I photographed that have really helped me work on portfolio rebuild.
