Israel Groveman

Epic photography that truly lives and breathes art... this is how I would describe my buddy Israel Groveman's work. I have known Israel for a number of years because of church. This man is one of the most talented individuals I know. Not only is he an amazing musician and composer... he is a very creative filmmaker and even more amazing photographer... and he loves the outdoor life.

When he asked if I would do some basic head shots of him I was honored to do so and enjoyed hanging out with him. He brings so much knowledge to the table and I soaked it all in. Everything from creative lighting techniques (I soooo want a light ring now!!), learning about Photoshop plug ins, and the importance of mastering JPEGs and not relying too heavily on RAW formatting on my camera.

I hope to learn more from him and will enjoy getting to know Leah and his family better.

10 Down...

90 to go!

So to keep myself busy and constantly practicing I've taken on a new personal challenge. I have decided to take a basic head shot of 100 people by the end of August. Now this is a simple challenge for myself just for fun. I enjoy it and am happy that my coworkers and friends have agreed to jump on board for it.

Here's the deal: semi-serious look, 3 attempts, black and white. Simple. Hopefully I can keep this up and complete my goal.

Wish me luck!
