Amy Ray - Promotional Photos

I had the distinct pleasure of shooting Amy Ray, solo recording artist and member of the Indigo Girls. We did some promo shots that she can use to promote her latest release entitled "Didn't It Feel Kinder" on Daemon Records. It's a solid record. My favorite tracks are SLC Radio and Stand and Deliver. You should consider picking up a copy.

Here is a collage of some of my favorite shots from our session together.

Kevin Archer

I recently finished a project shooting the works of local Atlanta artist Kevin Archer. It was an interesting project, especially considering the size and color complexity of his work.

We organized a shoot at his studio, where he would hang a large painting, I would light and shoot it, and then move on to the next. All in all it was enjoyable to work with an artist and to see his work move to a site where others can appreciate it too.

Sometimes, there is just too much AWESOME.

This weekend I was invited to shoot backstage with a cabaret / drag show / vegas-style show called Varietease. They were up from Orlando, FL. performing at The Wild Mustang in Atlanta. The goal was to shoot backstage in a documentary / reportage style. I've posted a few shots in my galleries, but there are just so many interesting shots, I've decided to create a gallery dedicated just to this two evening shoot! Enjoy!!

An Unscientific Comparison of the Canon G9 to the Canon 5D.

SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF G9 AND 5D copy

So I picked up the Canon G9 as my little pocket photo companion. For fun, and out of curiousity, I wanted to do a completely unscientific test of the G9 compared to the 5D. I put my remote 580EX on a stand and alternated shooting between the G9 and the 5D using the Speedlight Transmitter from roughly the same spot.

The result are above. To see a higher resolution version of the photo, click here.

For web based imagery, the G9 seems to be a great solution for shooting in situations or environments where I just don't want to risk taking the 5D. At roughly $450 - $500 (you can find some sale pricing online), this is well worth the money. It also takes reasonably good video, which I'm pleased with.

Of course, it's not a 5D and never will be, but still a TON of fun.
