why weird locations can rock…

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Don’t get me wrong, I love some of our locations we have available here in Knoxville.  But sometimes I find myself needing a fun location to bring out a little creativity.  Don’t you?  Just to shoot for some fun and in different, weird locations.  To challenge myself and see the world a little differently than in my usual spots of shooting. I’ve shot here before but its been about 2 years ago and it was so fun to be back.  I pushed myself a little more this time and we even befriended some skaters and did some shooting in the bowls and jumps…very fun!

So this past Knoxville Photog Meetup we did a little fun shooting with some beautiful models at a local Knoxville skate park and I did just that…had a little fun shooting in a weird location that was awesome!

The models were amazing and up for anything (even skaters jumping over them!).  So our group had some fun photographing the models and playing around at the skatepark with the amazing light!!

Here’s another little sneak of Rachel, the beautiful model, that I had put on facebook the other day:)

So, where do you shoot if you are a photographer?? Do you find yourself shooting at the same locations?  Ready to try some new ones!? Look around this week and find one…step out of your comfort zone a little if you need to too…sometimes that is great for creativity!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

It started out as a simple idea.

and grew.

knoxville photographers getting together to support, learn, have community.

through shootouts and meetups. through friendship and support.

and I’m so excited about where its going. and I’m honored.

honored to be part of it.

here is part of the email I sent after the day was done:

I’m finally sitting in my jammies watching Kimora:Life in the fab lane (don’t hate:) ) and thinking about today the only word that comes to mind is honor.  I am honored to be part of an industry where we can do fun shootouts and support each other in this journey, I am honored to have met all of you today and see some of the raw amazing talen we have here in Knoxville, and I’m honored to be part of it all, even in the tiniest way.  Thank you for being awesome, thank you for making today wonderful, thank you for being all in and so supportive of everyone today.

Sunday I met 17 or so of my Knoxville photographer colleagues.

We had models, rain, and an old bank building thanks to the awesome Tony Cappiello.

And we had a great time at the first Knoxville Photog Meetup.

here are some of my pictures.  A HUGE thanks to the amazing models!





See, told you the models were rocking it! Thanks again to all who came out, it was amazing to meet such great local Knoxville photographers!
