Bass Lake

So I'm waiting for a piece of equipment for my new camera so I can do proper video with it. Until then, I've been taking photos. I LOVE the 50mm lens and the shallow depth of field it creates! Here are some photos I took at a friends High School graduation party at Bass Lake in California. Enjoy!

Oh...and don't worry, I'm not abandoning videography for photography! Just making use of an amazing stills camera :)

New Camera!

So I was able to sell my old clunker of a camera and dive into DSLR filmmaking! I bought the Canon T2i and this thing is a beast! Coupled with some lenses, you get a look very similar to 35mm motion picture film.

Yesterday evening, my wife and I took a nice little walk around our neighborhood in Coarsegold, CA and I brought my camera along. I didn't take any video but I took plenty of stills! Here's a sample, enjoy!

P.S. - All images were taken with the Canon T2i & the 50mm 1.8 lens. Then the images were processed in Adobe Lightroom 3.

Baby Jack!

Scott Andrew :: The Promos - Fresno Wedding Videography

I finally finished up the last few details for the promos for Scott Andrew. I had a blast shooting with Scott! It was pretty ironic how we met. I've been wanting to start doing promo films for wedding vendors and had been looking for a photographer who would want to give it a shot. I was on a friend's blog and saw Scotts comment on the blog and it went to his blog and I fell in love with his images! This guy is the REAL deal. I sent him an email introducing myself and commenting on how much I love his work. I didn't mention anything about doing a promo film for him. I get an email back the same day from Scott and he loved my work too and wanted to know if I was interested in doing a promo film for him! I was like "SHOOT YEAH!" After a few emails back and forth, we set up a date and I drove up to Stockton to shoot him on an E-Sesh. It was pure magic from then on out. Our creative minds melded into this uber-awesome hub of creativity! This is what came out of that first shoot:



A few weeks past and both Scott and I wanted to further this promo by doing a formal interview. This time he came down to Fresno and my wife and I were able to get some awesome marketing shoots out of it! Later that night, we found a nice spot in a parking garage and got some great interview footage. Scott is so laid back and fun that filming him was a breeze. No complications what so ever. So after the interview shoot, I took that footage, and melded it with the first shoot's footage from Stockton and out came this super hip promo:



This won't be last you see of Scott....I'm sure we'll be doing more projects together in the future!
