DNA Group 2


A finger pushing a button. This was shot to look like it was on metal. It was a piece of vinyl with a hole cut out for the button (Bike reflector) on a piece of milk plexiglass.

DNA Group 2


Shot of a pocket knife for the DNA Group. Check out that rigg ? It was the only thing we could find to hold the pocket knife. We covered it with whit paper for the final shot.

Nationwide Bike fest


Covered the Ray Price Bike Fest for Nationwide in downtown Raleigh. The Nationwide people were really great and alot of fun to work with.

nightmare group


For this shot I had to drop a guy in. I would normally shoot the group shot and than the person to drop in so the lighting would match. Because of time I had to shoot him first. I told them no patterens and he showed up with the worst suit ever. I had to cut and paste his entire suit together to get rid of the morie. I showed up to do the group shot of 13 people and they had a very small space, I was standing on a desk and zoomed out as far as possible, I had alot of color fringing on my edges, yet more retouching, Oh by the way drop out sign in while your at it.

law offices


Seems like that time of year when every law firm wants to update their website.

headshots with pop


Even if shooting on location you can still get some pop to your image or headshots. I always travel with some big black cards and place them close to my subject, this helps prevent spill from the white background. Background should be +1/2-3/4 brighter than the foreground and backlight @ the same ( different with each subject depends on their hair color and what they are wearing ).
