So there is a very good reason why I am behind the camera... I don't like the way I look in photos.
During yesterday's adventure in the city, my buddy Brandon Bloch shot these two pictures of me in "action". This is a rare moment so soak it in now.
Brandon, great shots. I hope your D80 didn't self destruct after taking these photos.
Need I say more? Amazing tennis player and a tremendous showman to say the least.
Among the many things I have learned this week I will leave you with this: Taking part in the Legg Mason Classic this week has really helped me to think really fast about how I am going to set up my shots. I have learned that the world of sports photography is very similar to the wedding photography world for the following reason: YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO GET THE SHOT. There is no "redo" or "practice run". I can't wait to apply this and some other things I have learned when I go to shoot wedding #3 with Peter Bang this weekend.
So I served as third shooter at a wedding with Peter Bang this week. Peter and I have been friends for years and I have wanted to work with him for a while and I am glad I got to do so. I have been shooting a lot of "life style" pictures for months (i.e. parties, special events, portraits, etc.). I have wanted to get into doing weddings for a long time but wanted to shadow some people I respect in the business. Who better to ask than my friend Peter. I found that weddings are really fun and the high paced energy was an environment I thrived in. I also am getting to meet other wedding photogs like Jenny James along the way.
On that note... Melody and Preston were a lot of fun to work with. They were an easy going and laid back couple that really appreciate the art of photography and had a lot of fun places and ideas in mind for their pictures. Here are a few samples. Enjoy!
