Sometimes the out takes are the most fun

Yesterday Jenifer and I did a photo shoot for a national law firm based in Miami. It was a tough shoot logically due to the last minute booking when their regular photographer failed to call back. However, I think the client is happy with our performance and I think we made all we could of the opportunity to win future opportunity from this firm.

During the shoot we photographed 3 attorneys new to the firm and 1 that will most likely be hired (yesterday was his final interview, sounds like he is expecting an offer). In addition, we did photos of the partners for a national ad and to update their website. Below is a photo I grabbed while we where switching between partners for an environmental headshot.

More to come…

Photographers were once akin to magicians; merging the mystical technologies of scary chemistry and electronics with the critical skills of focusing our vision (and the cameras!) through story telling. Now, the technology is taking care of by “the man behind the screen” through the likes of Apple, Adobe, Phase One, and the stalwarts that came after Kodak: Canon, Nikon, Hasselbald, and Fuji. However, as much as photographers like to complain about the current state of the business,@holdencalgary makes some excellent points in his blog posted at opinionehted.com. Specifically, as professionals it is our job to “focus on what is most important, creating content, making images, and sharing their stories with the world”. The blog is well written and certain worth the time to not only read but reflect over.

That Kodak Moment

Started in 1889, the Eastman Kodak Company has been part of all our lives. Much like today’s generation where terms like “Google” means search, or “Facebook me” means get in touch, the “Kodak momen……
