New Logo/Branding Possibilities

These are some options I created and I’m toying with for use as my new logo.  I really like the I and B incorporated together, but I can’t decide on the color.  Both the straight orange, and the orange with blue border appeal to me, so I would love any feedback about what you think!  Do you prefer the single color?  The color combo?  Different colors?  None of it, it all sucks? Haha… I also created a version adding “PHOTO” under the logo which could also be used in addition to the above option, or to replace it.

I think that regardless of the color choice made above, the front of the new business card would be similar to what is below.. Feel free to give me some feedback!

Lauren

It’s not too often that I get, or sometimes take, the chance to photograph my beautiful wife, Lauren.. A couple weekends ago, we both had a free day so I decided to take that as a a great opportunity to get some images of her.  These are two of my favorites!  We just did some very simple shots around our home since the weather was a little crummy (seems to be the norma these days)… It was great picking up the camera after not shooting for a couple weeks with the exception of a wedding last month!  This also helped me get re-motivated to shoot MORE!! (there will probably be another post soon about that subject)

PJ

I wanted to get a nice studio portrait in my portfolio and decided my buddy PJ would be a great subject.  I brought him in and shot him against a black wall using 3 lights for most of them.  I really liked how the images turned out and the third one (one on the right) is in my portfolio and will be hanging at the portfolio show! You can see a few more HERE and all the color versions HERE!

Tyler & Carly Get Hitched… Again

My good friends Tyler and Carly were good sports helping me add another wedding image to my portfolio.  They were actually married almost 2 years ago and have returned to their wedding attire multiple times since!  This was my first time shooting a bride and groom completely on my own and we had a lot of fun running around Atlanta doing this shoot!  The first image pictured above is the one that I have in my final portfolio and will be hung on the wall at the portfolio show! Check out a few more HERE!

Chuck Taylor Wrenches Get Shot

I shot the Converse again for my portfolio, adding an additional light to make the image much better.  This image was featured as the first in the advertising section of my portfolio! I also shot these shotgun shells and wrenches trying to fulfill my final requirement for the commercial/advertising section of my portfolio.  The wrenches made it in.

Danielle

This past weekend I shot Danielle Cheek, both for use in my portfolio and to update her website!  It was a pretty simple shoot and we had a lot of fun.  Danielle is a great singer/songwriter and a music therapist. The images were shot on the west side of Atlanta, and we were trying to run around and beat the rain!  You can see a few more images HERE!

Mark Cole

I was back home in Atlanta for a few days from an internship with Jeremy Cowart and needed to get some images to possibly use for my graduate portfolio. These are from a photo shoot with Mark Cole I did while home.  We shot at a few locations not far from his house and I decided to try a couple new ways of editing.  These are definitely the most edit-intensive images I have posted here so far! For the color set, HERE, I created a sort of washed/blown out, vintage, soft look.  For the black and white set, HERE, I went with a contrasty editing method and added a little bit of an overall aged tone to them as well, and gave them a little of the blown out style to keep them slightly consistent with the others.

Nashville After the Storm

After finishing up working on some things for an upcoming art show for Jeremy Cowart, I went to try and scout a few locations.. I decided to try to head towards Belle Meade, and didn’t quite find what I was looking for, but they did have some really neat houses.  Along the way I passed two churches that I photographed as the storm was moving away.  This other shot is actually from the Belmont parking garage closer to downtown Nashville.  The sky was just too cool looking not to photograph a few things!

Nashville Locations, Take 2

I spent some more time today, for Jeremy Cowart, checking out some locations in Nashville for the upcoming shoot and for future shoots.  He is trying to build a catalog of images for various locations to show clients, which is a great idea I plan to use as well! These are some of my favorites that I shot today.

Nashville Location Scouting

Today I started my internship with Jeremy Cowart in Nashville, TN.. It was a great day spent hanging out with Jeremy a little over lunch, followed by investigating some locations for a shoot coming up next week.  The artist wanted a colorful/vintage vibe, so I went to a few recommended spots in Nashville and took some photos to get an idea of the location.  Big thanks to Jeremy Cowart for the opportunity!
