Late Night Drive
Chevy Corvette ZO6 | Knoxville, TN
I recently photographed a friend's new Chevy Corvette ZO6†. We shot some in downtown but due to my poor planning we were smack dab in the middle of rush hour traffic. I found it hard running into the street snapping some photos and running back before cars ran me over.
We finally ventured into a calmer part of town , where we were able to get some great shots. Hope you enjoy!
More photos and a behind the scenes picture after the jump....
How most of the shots were lit. Two Alienbee B800.
A little fun to end the day...Photoshopped or Real?
Transaction | Photo Project
On a recent trip to Detroit I had many of hours alone driving ( 8 hours to be exact ) and I began to think of a photo project that I could work on while on the road. That's when I began to think of all the transactions one makes while traveling. It's pretty simple, I just photographed every person I had a money transaction with while on my drive from Knoxville to Detroit. I found myself looking for unique places to stop and I actually drove 20 minutes down a country road to try find something different.
I had some great conversations with some of the people I photographed and some just thought I was weird. One of my subjects co-worker's exact quote "Did that guy just take your picture, that is so creepy". I hope to add to this photo project as I travel more. For now I have four individuals that I simply told them what I was doing and asked to take there portrait.

ps. I had the 5D Mark 2 with the 50 1.2L for this trip and ever since returning it I have had total camera envy.
24 Hour Film Festival | Knoxville, TN
You have 24 hours to create , film, edit, and produce a video. Those are the "simple" rules to the Knoxville 24 Hour Film Festival (K24HFF ). This was my first year participating in the festival and it was such an amazing event. The kick off parties, screenings, networking, and the final showing was such a great experience to be involved with! This festival is filled with creative minds and a sense of humor that can not be compared. This will not be the last time I partake in such a innovative event. The only twist to this film festival is that they give you three secret ingredients that they don't tell you until the kick off time (7:00pm).
This year the ingredients were:
1. Have the sun sphere in one shot
2.Have a remote control in a shot
3. Use the line "I'll never forget the first time I went to jail"
I teamed up with RendMedia and our shooting began at 7pm and ended around 3am. I have always had an interest in videography and I was super stoked to do a little filming and audio Dave Moore finished up editing and submitted the the film with 20 minutes to spare.
Then came the screening and awards the following week: Pictures and video after the jump....
