Location Scouting | BTS


Here's a little behind the scenes shot of the next location. This will be part of a larger composited image with the skyline pasted in the background. Pretty cool, huh?

Good Morning Charlotte! | City Skyline

I should really start getting up earlier. The light is just beautiful and with most folks still sleeping in on the weekend it's like I have the city all to myself (and a few noisy early morning birds). I'm out shooting a skyline shot for a client using the Leaf Credo 60 digital back. That's 60MP of absolute perfection! Had the thing flown in from ATL on Friday. I can't wait to get these suckers back to my office and start editing them. Should have some great shots to work with!



Times are a changing! | Social Media Overload

I realize its been over a year since my last blog entry...really needing to get a handle on this social media thing-ugh! I get so wrapped up in the moment while shooting that I rarely remember to take behind the scenes footage or post pictures after the fact. Sorry folks its just the way it is! I often wonder if the people posting constantly to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumbler, Flickr, Blogger (did I miss any?) are really busy people or just have a lot of extra time on their hands? Frankly, I'm overwhelmed. And who has time to read and follow all these social media ninjas? I surely don't. But I did set a New Years resolution to better market myself and stay current (at least once a week) on social media. I suppose its fun to see what folks are up to occasionally so I will make a point to start posting a bit more (hence downloading the Blogger App to my phone). I think it's more of an issue with convenience. If I can find a way to quickly share what I'm doing with others with minimal effort then I'm in. Otherwise, I need to be spending my downtime on email, print marketing and face to face meetings with other creatives. So many things so little time! For any of you following or just stopping by, feel free to share with me how you stay organized using social media. Cheers!

Charlotte Headshot Photographer | Featured Talent

Another successful headshot session with Michael, a new actor with Evolution Talent Agency here in town. Michael has a great vintage "rockabilly" look. I could totally see him doing a greaser movie - how cool would that be!
