November 26, 2012: 6 Days in November

I am honored to have been asked to conduct a live photo shoot as part of the 6 Days in November celebration in Winston-Salem. When I found out that a full city block would be blocked off for me I was ecstatic. I went through several different concepts before settling on a dreamy bedroom scene. I wanted there to be a softness, a simpleness in contrast to the hard city surroundings. I called upon model Morgan whom I had worked with previously. It was a quick shoot in the cold wind, but the images captured the dreamy essence I was aiming for.

See below for some of the images and a behind the scenes video. 

A big thanks to Associated Artists of Winston-Salem, 6 Days in November, Arts Council of Winston-Salem, Piers Clarkson, Morgan Marlowe, Diana Greene, Chris Campbell and Emily Koon.

August 21, 2011: Time to Fly

What a ride the past four years have been. I rekindled my love of photography. I did this for myself and myself only; just for fun, a hobby, a release. Slowly this "hobby" became more than I ever dreamed; fine art sales, book covers, clients and now I sit here typing this on the other side of the world (Australia!). I will be speaking at the August Exposure conference on the Gold Coast tomorrow. I am honored to be there among many other talented speakers.

In my latest self-portrait image, I wanted to sum up my photography philosophy, "head in the clouds". My imagination is my #1 photography tool. Without it, I have nothing. I am going to continue to keep my head in the clouds, it's working so far!
