Welcome to the blog.

My life as a photographer has changed so much over the last year and this blog is a representation of the chaos, the excitement, the learning, and hopefully great images. :) Thanks for spending a few minutes with me.

I had the amazing opportunity to shoot for one of my favorite voices in Atlanta.  Chinua Hawk is one of the most talented dudes I’ve ever been able to shoot and I was literally chomping at the bit to shoot his album photography, maybe a little because I got to hear it first and think he’s going to be huge!  We had a really fun afternoon shooting together back in 2011 but I couldn’t share the images until the album was revealed.  You can check out his amazing work here: http://www.facebook.com/chinuahawk

I’ve been blessed to work on a number of projects with Chad Bishop (LightBridge Studio) over the past few years.  It started with photography and led into video and we’ve both learned a ton in the process.  Towards the end of last year we shot a video for Home Depot’s Merchandising Execution Team.  I typically play the DP (director of photography) role and Chad does a great job directing and setting vision for what story we’re trying to tell.  There are a number of other projects that we’ve shot that are in the editing process, but I am definitely hoping to share more of our collaboration as we release more videos online.  Here’s the “MET” video for The Home Depot.

I’ve been blessed to shoot 5 different Catalyst Events in the last 3 years and each time I’m blown away by the level of content they share with Church and Business leaders, from amazing communicators to hilarious MCs and powerful music. It’s “kid in a candy store” photography, where everything you see is probably going to be worth taking a picture of. Our job is to capture the story, and what’s nice is that the story is pretty epic. This year I found myself trying to capture light in a new way (for me) as it just seemed like the light took on an element of worship itself.  Someday, these blurry “worship light” photos will probably end up on my wall.

One of the cool things that has developed through this relationship with Catalyst is the community I get to experience among the other photographers who shoot the event with me.  It’s been so cool to work with such a talented group of photogs that all have unique styles and vision.  Definitely check out their work if you get a chance!
