Brother B&W Cont' | St. Louis

Stills from the video shoot we filmed a couple days ago. I pushed the dynamic range to it's breaking point and allowed for heavy shadows in the style of Greg Gorman. I really like the gritty realism the process produced.

Fences & Gravel Roads | Clarksville, MO

These two shots were taken with my point and shoot while driving down a gravel road in northern Missouri. Gravel roads...I used to hate them, but now I find them familiar. Strange how life has a way of bringing you back to places you thought you'd never want to be again.

My brother and I were just doing some light tests for video. This is my first attempt to light for video. I have a lot to learn!

Brother B&W | St. Louis

This lighting was set up for a video test we did, and I grabbed my still camera to snap a couple quick shots. The goal was to allow for a very human element to be captured. Hopefully there's a sense of realism here.

We were really bored tonight, so we decided to try some new lighting using one strobe. Here are a few shots I liked.

Overlook Farm | Clarksville, MO

These images are from a recent trip to Clarksville, MO. I was happy to have the opportunity to tour and photograph a very old piece of land there named Overlook Farm. The land was gifted to the family who owns it by the King of Spain, long before Missouri was even a state. Clarksville was a welcomed change from the noise of the city, and I look forward to visiting again soon.

Carpenter GMC | Hwy 3

I passed this old bus on a two-lane blacktop headed back from Carbondale, IL.  It was abandoned and I loved the colors and golden patina. The sun seemed to be hitting it just right as I drove by, and I had to turn around and grab a few quick shots.  There were others, but the light in this one was my favorite.

Just jacking around with lighting and high key on white seamless.  I look a little stoned...I wasn't.  Holl snapped the shutter.

Seventies Jenny | St. Louis

With this shot, I attempted to replicate a sort of 70's look and feel.  The film images of that era had a real brown, gritty element about them.  Murky shadows and dingy whites were a common factor, as well as film grain.  I posted a higher res version of the same shot below to give a closer look at the grain and detail.

Daisies | Autumn Street Festival

Holly and I took a drive on a fall afternoon and decided to head west.  We happened on several street festivals in some of the river towns along the way and stopped to take them in.  I particularly liked this image.

Inspiration | Ben Button Poster

Holly and I were inspired by the posters advertising David Fincher's new film, so we shot each other and I tried to match the post-processing.  I'm also a Ridley Scott fan (hence the tribute at top).  Fun times!

Bella Cattura | Official Logo

Bella Cattura | New Project

Bella Cattura is a new project I'm currently collaborating on with my girlfriend.  We've been shooting weddings together for several years now, and were initially interested in branding our wedding photography separately from what we do independently.  Over the past three weeks, we've spent a lot of time designing logo concepts and discussing what the brand would consist of.  After much debate and reworking dozens of ideas, this is the logo we came to agree on. Holly designed the mark, and I did the type setting.
