I spent a few hours in the studio with them. Would have liked a little more light to work with, but I originally wasn’t there to create a video….just happened.

Equipment:
Canon 7D
GoPro HD
iPhone 4s

I brought up the possibility of shooting some video to Scott from Skeletonwitch and he was into it, so I shot a show last weekend. I used a few different cameras and techniques and did a quick edit and this is what I came up with. Just a teaser video, but it’s a start. Hopefully there will be plenty more to come….

Bikers for Motorcycle Rights

These guys were a lot of fun to work with.  Different personalities from different background, yet united.

The Cover of Food City

I always love shooting food, but, sometimes what you have to do to get the shot makes even the best looking or smelling food inedible…..

Greg Lehman – Watershed Distillery

I always enjoy hanging out with Greg.  He has the right attitude and a true love for what he is doing.  It doesn’t hurt that his gin is some of the best liquor I have ever tasted.

Basi

The folks at Basi were awesome enough to let me use their restaurant and kitchen to shoot the cover of Food City.  I shot a bunch of plates that day.  Everything looked absolutely delicious.

Rick Lopez – Knead

If anyone I have ever shot a portrait of had reason to not be into it, it was Rick.  Having had a flood disaster in his kitchen on New Years Eve, he was still upbeat and easy going, as always.
