Photo Tip: How to stitch a sequence shot.
Rather than just post a recent photo, I wanted to share a tip that I used to produce this last photo. A couple weeks ago, I attended an event known as, River Rock, which had lots of freestyle biking, kayaking, along with other action sports. I took this opportunity to shoot some sequence shots, only [...]
Maymont Park (Still Snapping Away).
Recently, I’ve been spending more time going on walks, shooting aimlessly, just to see what I come up with. I guess you could say I’m extending my portfolio, really, I’m just doing it to stay shooting constantly, if I get some great photos out of it, so be it. Seeing the photo gigs have slowed [...]
Getting Locked Out Of Your House Is A Good Thing.
Friday afternoon (April 9th), I was packing my car, preparing to leave town for the weekend. I spent the weekend shooting engagement photos for my cousin, Matthew, down in Blacksburg, VA (woohoo, go hokies!).

I’ve gathered some tips that I’d like to share that will help you succeed as an assistant. Some through experience, others by having to make mistakes, regardless, using these tips, [...]
Keeping yourself moving in slow times.
If you’re like me, December and January are reasonably slow times for a freelancer, whether a photographer or designer. I find that when times are slower, when the cash flow is slow coming in, i’ve been finding ways to keep myself occupied that could also potentially bring you more exposure and possibly more income. [...]
Catching up
I know its been a while since I’ve posted on my blog, and I apologize. To start off, I want to write an initial blog to summarize what I’ve been up to. I have been trying to keep busy, but as most of us photographers know, the holiday season (December through January) is [...]

Portfolio Site
Well, its been forever in the making, but I will finally have my portfolio site up and running in the very near future. Me and my twin brother, Derek, have been working on a design that is very similar to “live books” but a lot better looking, unique, and very easy to update. [...]
Orchid Still Life
