Our friends over at St. Louis Magazine were VERY kind for the current January issue. They initially asked me to shoot the spring bridal fashion feature, then called back for another feature to shoot a portrait of a US Air Force pilot, then called back to have me shoot the cover and THEN let me know they wanted to throw my mug into the the contributor profile section for a blurb on me. It was great to have such a varied list of subjects to shoot from a fashion model to pilot to racecar driver each requiring an entirely new photographic concept & approach.
Oh, if you're into behind-the-scenes snippets then SLM posted some images from the fashion shoot to their Flickr page.
We recently hosted the ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) St. Louis Chapter Holiday Party here at our studio as a way to bring our photographic community together and celebrate the season. It was great to see many familiar faces and to meet so many more photographers and friends from around the city. As photographers working independently it's always great to hang with others to spread some holiday cheer while talking shop over great food and beers and then make asses of ourselves in the "photobooth". Can't wait to do it again next year!
I'm happy to share the news that I won a 2nd Place Altpick Award in their Photography category last week. It is for the work we produced for St. Louis Magazine last spring featuring John Wall perched on the top of a building. Thanks to everyone at Altpick and to all of the judges!
Okay, so next year my work is cut out for that 1st Place spot.
Here's the winning shot...
