More Angels …

And demons too! I had another great shoot with Rudy at Chrome Salons back in Maryland and have just started editing the demons. Back in April we shot a second set of Angels for his submission to NAHA. We shot the first round of Angels before his salon was officially opened and it was awesome. We started with an idea, a concept really that I had in my head but had never shot and had no clue how it would turn out. Amazingly it turned out just as we had all hoped it would. Then I had a concept of how I wanted to shoot the demons … FAIL! big time!!! Back to the drawing board, reconsider what was important in the photos, and Rudy and I came up with a completely new concept for the demons and I think it worked. I’m really happy with the second set, and I’m just dropping a teaser image in today. I’ll be posting more of both the Angels as well as this second set of Demons photos soon.

Enjoy!

Wedding Photojournalist Association awards

I’m thrilled to announce that three of my images from 2008 were placed in the top twenty of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) year end competition. The process is a difficult one, starting by going through the tens of thousands of images I shot throughout the year and narrowing those down to my favorite 20 – 30 images. At best one image from each wedding could make the cut for the competition; less than 1% of the images I shoot in a year will end up making the cut to even be considered among the year end images. When you multiply that out over five thousand photographers from 87 Countries world-wide it’s humbling to have a single image selected let alone three.

A huge thank you to all the couples that entrusted me with their wedding images in 2008. Without the belief that I could faithfully document your day, there wouldn’t even be the 1% of images to submit.
