I picked up my first camera as a kid, and have been shooting ever since. I’ve always had artistic talent and took college courses in art, but most of what I know of photography and cinema I learned on the job. I landed jobs in production studios early in my career, and even spent a few years managing a video production studio, where I worked more in video than I did photography, but I always kept a camera by my side and shot when I could. In the past 15 years I’ve had my own studio and I attended as many hands on workshops as I could. I still love to go to national level workshops and continue to learn. I like the term “lifelong learner’ and love to hear what others have to say. I try to go online at least a few times a month and watch educational videos to continually sharpen my skills.

My favorite gear today is the Canon 5d MarkII HDDSLR. I keep 2 Canon 5d’s in my gear bag along with a Canon 50mm 1.2 prime lens, a Canon 15mm Fisheye, a Canon 24-105mm IS lens, A Canon 70-200 IS lens, and a Canon 85mm 1.2 prime lens. 3 Canon 580 ex flash units with pocket wizards.

My accessories & lighting include:

• an ionic sensor cleaner for dust removal
• 50″ moon ring and a ringflash
• some various profoto studio flash units
• a half dozen 1k fresnels
• a few 4×6 California Sunbounce reflectors with c stands
• I keep several tripods, a small micro dolly rail, a small portable jib, a steadytracker, and lots of various grip equipment.
• I also keep a case with several Sennheiser wireless mics for audio recording. What I don’t have, I rent when I need it.

The Canon 5d Mark II is vital to me. That camera is such a workhorse, and the delivery is beautiful, brilliant, sharp images that inspire me each time I take a shot. I also love using large reflectors to modify & control light. And, I love being able to shoot video and photography on one camera.

I start a typical session with lots of planning and preparation. Depending on the budget, I like to dream big and create the shoot with a somewhat scripted storyboard like I would write for a video production. I like to shoot on location as much as possible, and scouting is vital. I keep the weather channel app on my iphone and schedule my shoots with the sky in mind. I like to know where my available light is coming from during the day, and how I can harness solar light for the shoot. Once I’ve scouted the location, I like to talk to the talent involved and give them tips on details needed for the shoot. If I’m working with a client or their art director, then I will meet with them and talk over all the details. If I’m the art director, then I like to be prepared with notes and the photography style I want to accomplish for the shoot. I will coordinate the makeup artists, hairstylists, and fashion stylist for the shoot. If I get to choose the models, I’ll dig through comp cards and try to find a unique model with a confident look in his or her portfolio. I’ll sometimes look for inspiration from other photographs, or images of art or even a movie that I like at the time. Once I have a style in mind, that dictates the lighting and look of the set. From the time the shoot begins to the time it ends, I usually feel good about the goals I’ve set and accomplished from the shoot. I then backup everything on my macbook pro and external drives, then later back in the studio I transfer my files to my mac pro tower. All my images and then proofed in Lightroom 3 and the task of post editing begins. If I’m shooting video, it’s basically the same procedures. My video clips are stored and pre-viewed in Final Cut until I’m ready to edit the project.

For the reel I created for Anna Knight, it all started as a fun dinner and drinks in a restaurant in New York. We had just finished a fashion shoot in Central Park that day. Another photographer who I work with and a good friend that lives in NY was interested in helping us style a new shoot when she came to Memphis on her next visit. We were all sitting in a bar laughing and talking about the shoot and it all came together. I love to dream big, and come up with crazy ideas that are over the top, and lots of times the budget is very limited. This was one of those self produced shoots with a minimal budget. We all wanted to come up with a high fashion style for the shoot and do it all on a dime. I started talking and said how great it would be shoot on a lear jet, next thing I know my
friend is on her cell calling her friend who happened to own a lear jet sitting in a hangar at the Memphis International Airport. I knew the hangar pretty well, and knew it would be perfect for the shoot. The next phone call she came up with a full Armani wardrobe for the model. The theme was style and travel. I had just shot Anna a couple of times earlier that year, so I called her in for the shoot. I also told her that I wanted to create a model reel for her as a sample for my portfolio. I arranged this shoot to include another photographer and I shot HD video and photos as well. This is pretty much how I go about starting and finishing a concept photo shoot.

I do gain inspiration from other photographers, photography books, movies and the people I shoot. But like I mentioned earlier, I like to stretch myself and try new things. I have a few photographers that I follow from time to time, and like to see what they are up to. I tend to be an available light photographer, but modified light techniques to me can accomplish that style. If the available light is not in the scene where I want it, I just bounce it around until it looks like natural light. With all that said, I’ll check out other images that I like and try to gain inspiration from those images. I don’t like to copy others work, but I do like to study images and adapt my shoot concept to that particular style. There are other times that I may try to find inspiration, and simply don’t find what I’m looking for. Then I basically erase the big blackboard in my mind and try to come up with creative things that may not have been done before. When I’m photographing a scene or a person, in the back of my mind I’m thinking how it would look like as a movie frame. I ask myself how can I connect this image to another image and tell a story through a series of photographs. When I’m working with a model that is really into the session, I get even more excited. I wish more models would take acting lessons, even if they don’t plan on acting. It helps them play better in front of the camera. Some of the new models are scared to death, I don’t mind teaching them, but I’m more inspired when they turn on their switch and go for it!

I shot film for many years, but now I’ve totally embraced digital photography. To me the challenge is how to make digital photography look like film photography. I love computer technology, after effects and the ability to manipulate an image with software. If someone handed me two cameras, one with film and one with digital, I’d likely pick up the digital camera. I love seeing the fascination of new photographers with film, and it’s definitely an experience every photographer should have.

I tend to like shooting subjects, but I do enjoy both. I love to photograph a person and find ways to bring out their emotion on the photograph. It’s definitely a challenge, and some subjects make you work harder than others. I have to find ways to get them comfortable with who they are, and with me. If they are hesitant, it will show in the image. If they are not confident, it will be a much harder job on me. I do find that shooting objects has it’s own challenges. I tend to light a subject for a long time
to get the shadows and light the way I want, and at the same time, I find that lighting an object can be just as challenging.

I actually created & head up FilmIndesign, it is my company that focuses on video/film production. Indesign Creative is a separate company run by another photographer that I met a couple of years ago. We’ve combined some of our portfolios to reach a broader market, and we share the website of Indesign Creative to show video and photography for projects that we collaborate on together.

I’m the creative director for the commercial video projects and come up with the concepts for most of the shoots. I’ve found that a lot of companies like to hire a photographer, and they hire a cinematographer separately. With my background in cinematography and photography, I feel I have a unique offering, with both photography and cinematography, but its hard to concentrate on both at the same time, so it’s good to have a working relationship with another really good photographer. I also realized that most video production companies do not have a professional photographer on staff, they end up outsourcing photography work, often the photographer and cinematographer clash with their differences in lighting and design concepts. Having a relationship with Indesign Creative comes in handy when a project calls for both cinematography and photography.

I created Anna’s video reel to do just that. I think that Model Portfolios are missing something today. The combination of great professional headshots, editorial samples, and a personal interview with the model can get the model in more doors that just a typical comp card. I’ve seen a few photographers that try to make a slideshow of a models photos, but the slideshow concept fails to show the personality of the model, and typically most slideshows are not very interesting. With my film style video reels, I want to draw in the viewer in the first 15 seconds with a scene concept that says “Wow, I want to watch this!” I wanted to make a model reel that not only showed the model’s photos, but introduces the model to whomever sees it. Anna’s reel shows who she is, confident, yet approachable and real. She is very genuine in her reel, she wasn’t acting, she was being just like she might be in a live interview situation. Anna’s HD film has caught a lot of attention for her with over 55,000 views in just the last few months. It’s even helped her land background roles in several music videos with very well known recording artists like Jamie Foxx and the late Michael Jackson. I think model reels will help models get their foot in the door a lot faster than just a plain portfolio. Just a few years ago the cost for producing really great model reels was very expensive. With the new technology of a camera that shoots both photos and stunning HD video, that cost has been greatly reduced. But at the same time, it takes a great artistic concept for the reel to make it work, it can’t just be a slideshow. Models have to be willing to spend a lot more than they do for a headshot photo session.

Anna’s model portfolio was the first for the website. My vision was to create this one to show models what could be offered in a model reel. I’ve had several models express interest, and I’m are working on a few new ones that I hope to have completed this summer. I want each project that I create have it’s own distinctive creative style. I’ve also been meeting with a few model and talent agencies and they agree that models and actors really need to invest in better professional level portfolios. I think it’s just a matter of time when they will be knocking down our doors to get on my list. I’ve done several other profile reels for individuals and small businesses, and those have been just as successful for helping them with their marketing goals.

From what I can tell, the models, talent and agencies have not quite understood the value of a video reel quite yet. I recently did a Business Profile film for an interior designer, a potential client saw her reel, and she landed a $25,000 a year contract. I also recently did a Profile Film for a music composer, and it helped him achieve funding for his next big project in less than a month. When models realize how this could fast track their careers, they will get serious about getting a professional film reel shot. It will require some investment on the models part. Shooting a concept reel like I offer will cost more than a typical headshot session. I think using a big video production firm that focuses on $20,000 – $50,000 music videos don’t want to scale back and take on the smaller $2000 – $5000 projects like model reels.

I also think blogs like yours will help spread the word and educate both models and agencies on the value of a well produced video portfolio. I think the models that try to cut corners with the “home slideshow” won’t get in as many doors as a unique, well produced concept reel like Anna’s.

I love them both, I do more photography, but I have an equal passion for cinematography. There’s a unique feeling of accomplishment when you create a film that turns heads. If a picture says a thousand words, then a film
says a million words. The creative process for cinematography is very different from photography, it sometimes takes months to shoot & edit a short film.

I do head the art direction for most my of my films, but I also love working with other producers and directors to help them achieve their vision.

That’s a tough question for a photographer. I tend to get a new favorite every year or so. I remember a quote from one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Paul McCartney, from one of his interviews a few years ago. He was asked what his favorite or best song was that he had written. He answered by saying that he still hasn’t written it yet. Wow, what an answer from one of the worlds best musicians. He said that he continues to write songs every day, and he’s continually trying to write better music, that he does not want to rest on his achievements. He is driven to always be his best. Not that I’m trying to compare myself to him, but his answer inspired me to wake up each day and set out to shoot my best photo.

After all that being said, I think my best photo session was with a couple of models I shot in the Bahamas a year or so ago. They were on location shooting for the Baltimore Ravens, and I asked them if they had time after their shoot to work with me and my team. Usually the chances of that kind of random, last minute shoot happening is impossible, but their manager was very excited about it, and set the time slot up. They were such a delight to work with, very professional, and what better place to be shooting beautiful models than in the Bahamas. The weather for the shoot was perfect, the light was amazing, and the models were excited to be doing the shoot. It was one of those shoots that was just for the fun of it, there was no particular job assignment, no set deadlines, or any pressure. I think I walked away with some of the best images of my model portfolio, and had a blast doing it.

I’m glad you asked me that question, in late February I headed to one of the top 12 Destinations in the world, a little town called Seaside Florida. It happens to be where they filmed the movie, The Truman Show, with Jim Carrey and Laura Linney. This was a fashion photography shoot for a well known wedding publication, Southern Bride Magazine. I also hosted a photographers workshop along with the fashion shoot. where a half dozen photographers came to learn some of my photography techniques. I’ve brought in another successful commercial photographer that has worked many years with Southern Living Magazine that helped lead the workshop and photo shoot. The photographers learned advanced photography techniques and got a chance to shoot hands on and contribute their images to the magazine spread. I love to teach photography, and recently wrote a book called “Lifestyle Wedding Photography” for high end weddings that I use in my workshops. I plan to announce 2-3 more workshops this year geared toward commercial styles of fashion model photography.

I’m also in production now of a short film with an indie film crew that I met last year on another production. I’ve shot most all of the film now, and I’ve shot several pickup scenes for the final edit. The film is in editing for the next several months. Last week I shot a behind the scenes interview for the film trailer and I’m looking forward to seeing the film come to life. The producer has good success in some of his past short films in film festivals, and I think this one will be another success. They have asked me to shoot another film this summer, and I’ve got several small film profile projects in production now, as well as a lot of regular photo studio sessions that I book all during the year.

There you have it. I want to say a big thank you to Michael for doing this intervew. I think this has been my best and most insightful RM Talk to date. I concur, it is only a matter of time before everyone starts knocking on your door. If anyone looking for elite level work done and is in the Memphis/Nashville area, you would be making a big mistake not to get a hold of Michael and the team at Filmindesign. I look forward to staying in touch for future updates. Stay tuned for the next RM Talk.

Prior to taking school at Algonquin College in Ottawa for studio portraiture, I was an automotive photographer (self taught) for several magazines.

I am currently shooting with the:

• Canon 5D
• Sigma 20mm f/1.8
• Canon 50mm f/1.8
• Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro with several different flashes and modifiers

This setup hasn’t changed much over the years. It’s not fancy, but it works!

I’m not too picky with equipment in general but I’m a huge fan of using my flashes! Although natural light can be nice, I love having control.

After setting up a time and date for the session with the model, makeup artist, hair stylist and wardrobe stylist, I generally setup my lighting equipment and do as many test shots as I need. After shooting the model, I upload the photos to my computer, make my selections and adjustments in Adobe Lightroom, then make any finishing touches in Adobe Photoshop. I then make a web gallery with Lightroom and submit the link to my client.

I’m constantly being inspired by the world around me. Prior to the shoot, I like to see the model’s portfolio to see their strengths and diversity. I’ll also cycle through photos I’ve saved and check my favourites on my Flickr account as well.

My setup is completely digital. Shooting film is still satisfying and exciting but I don’t believe there’s much place for it with today’s digital technology.

Because I shot strictly automotive in the past, I feel I can make a fair comparison. I much prefer shooting people because there is two way communication and building the relationship is important for a good connection with the model to the camera. It’s also more satisfying seeing a satisfied subject with photos of theselves versus a happy car owner.

It is definitely difficult being in such a big city. I try to keep up with web presence through my blog, Twitter, Facebook etc. I’m always trying to get myself out there in new ways even though there are more photographers to compete with every day. I also don’t like to wait around when I don’t have shoots booked. I love shooting creatives for fun.

My style has definitely always been commercial trying to keep it as clean as possible. I also try to keep retouching to a minimum so I try to do it right the first time around with my in camera composition and lighting setup.

I’m more of a fashion photographer and have barely done anyting glamour. It’s not something I’ve written off but the opportunity hasn’t arisen. I always try my best to get a full team for the shoot because I do believe it is important to work with a good crew of people who have their own specialty. It always makes my job easier and takes the load off the model as well.

Photography is all about networking. I’ve been lucky enough to make some good connections and make some clients in return. There are the rare times someone calls from searching on Google but for the most part, it’s all through people you know. In this industry, it helps to be a nice guy!

I’ve always been a huge car fan my entire life and that’s why I started photography in the first place. You generally shoot what you love. My personal favourite automotive photo is the Nissan 240SX underneath the spider at the Ottawa Art Gallery. I only had the opportunity for one photo so I quickly took it and ran back into the car! It was the perfect time of day with dramatic skies and gorgeous reflections on the car.

My favourite photoshoot was probably a recent one I did for Dat Salon for the salon’s entry for the L’Oreal Color competition. We shot it next to the hair salon in a defunct woodworking studio. It’s my favourite because I had a great team, location and my lighting setup turned out better than I could imagine. I generally keep lighting setups minimal but I went all out for this one.

So far, I’m just keeping my old clients satisfied with new work because I think it’s important to maintain a good relationship and repeat business is great. I hope to be overwhelmed in the Spring and Summer to make 2011 the best year yet for Kevin Luc Photography!

If money wasn’t a factor, I think I’d go for a Pagani Zonda. I think it’s BEAUTIFUL!

There you have it. If you are in the Toronto area and needing a photographer, you can’t go wrong with Kevin. Quality work, amazing Portfolio and positive energy. Stay tuned for the next RM Talk.

I started learning on my own when I was 12 yrs old and I received my first camera as a Birthday gift. Then after graduating from high school, I attended a technical school where I took a couple of photography workshops. I have also attended multiple seminars in the United States.

• I primarily shoot with three cameras a Canon 1D, a 5D, and a 50D.
• My regular lenses are: 85mm 1.4, 50mm 1.4, 24-70 2.8 and a 100mm 2.8

Of course my eyes and my brain, but as far as camera wear is my 1D and my 85mm 1.4

I like to take my time for a shoot because I believe that most people tend to relax after the first 20 minutes, therefore it is easier to capture better and more real expressions. Usually I shoot on outdoor locations, but I also shoot in my studio.

Of course! I get inspired from people’s attitudes, personalities, and looks as well as from music, films, literature, nature, architecture, and landscapes.

I think film photography has a very unique pleasing look that along with its developing processes evoke melancholy and romanticism. On the other hand digital photography is revolutionary, more economical, and incredibly flexible for post-production. I switched to digital more than five years ago, but I often miss shooting with film.

Subjects, definitely.

Most of the time we work on our own, and only once in a while we shoot together.

We had only one company for a long time, which is Heidi Lee Photography, and it was this year when I launched my own with featuring a different approach and target audience.

When I first met Katie I thought her eyes were really pretty and I was immediately inspired. It was a fun shoot that actually started kind of late thanks to Katie, and It was shot in my backyard.

Thanks for the comment. It is actually not Heidi. Her name is Elana and I met her in the gym.

This would be impossible for me to say.

I went back to school three years ago for the major of Radio, Television, and Film with the idea of producing and directing my own movies. I’ve always liked Radio and I wanted to have my own show, and since I have the chance now I went for it.

Haha, you are funny!

There you have it. If you are in the Appleton and Fox Cities area, you should definitely give him a buzz. Chances are you have probably seen some of his work around the area without even knowing it. Maybe we’ll have an indie film coming out from the mind of Gerry, I guess we’ll have to find out in the future. Stay tuned for the next RM Talk.

Well I never intended to take up photography in college, I took it as an elective because my best friend cohered me into doing so, wasn’t too thrilled about it but ended up doing pretty good in the class. From then, I never really took an interest in it until 5 years ago. Now here I am, doing it as my full time occupation.

• Nikon d2x
• 35mm, 105mm, 17-80mm, and 12-24mm, killer lenses!
• 1 hot shoe flash and in studio/on location lighting kit.

My mind.

Well I do research first, I try to theme the shoot depending on the client, I read tons of magazines to get ideas, I do test shots with lighting, then we’ve all got makeup, styling and location that come into play, all things I think out before the actual shoot. On the actual shoot, I try to envision the shots, create a shot list (mentally) and move forward. I can’t shoot unless music is playing. Shoots are always unpredictable. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn’t. But at the end of the day, I just want shots I’m happy with.

Well A lot inspires me about photography in general, other photographers, art, music, culture, the ‘not ordinary’. As of recent, the world’s history has really been stimulating my imagination.

Well I started out the old school way with film but the way of the industry now, digital is faster and more efficient. I love digital because it allows me to work faster, better and I have more control over what I’m doing. Its politics though, some photographers will stick to film while others have already converted over to digital. Either way, both are very expensive!

I really prefer shooting people, it’s just more comfortable for me to work with a living, breathing, two hands, two legs subject. I love expression and I’m able to bring this out of people really well. I don’t dislike still images I just prefer to work with what I can directly interact with.

No, I use Photoshop to retouch, clean, sharpen and colour my images. I don’t over do it though. Photoshop is just a tool just like my camera; I control them and not the other way around. It helps me preserve my own creativity.

Yes, I art direct all my shoots. It’s important to me because I know EXACTLY how I want the images to come out. Now some clients give me some idea as to what their own vision is but I’m lucky to have free reign with the direction of the shoot. So sometimes I just get crazy and go all out, or I remain as simple as possible. Either way, I enjoy the direction.

I’d have to say shooting a homeless guy for my first art show ‘Kinesis’ www.thekinesis.com was possibly my best experience. By photographing someone who most people try to steer away from, I brought even MORE attention to my show’s mission. Shooting him was a blast. I got to learn about his life on the streets. Where he came from, and even his family background. He was quite an interesting character and it showed through in the image.

Yeah I do. I’m trained in graphic design with a B.F.A. degree from the Savannah College of Art & Design. I just like being creative with most of the art forms I find interests in, web or graphic design being one of them.

I would probably say 3-9. I do ALOT of photography not only because I love it more, but also because it pays the bills faster, hah!

I love apple and anything they make so I try to stay in the loop whether they are developing a new product or releasing an update on a current gadget. I’m a Nikon guy too so I love camera gear, new lenses, lighting techniques, different things like that. I’m a tech guy so anything that spells HD, clicks, shifts, slides or has a touch screen, I would always read up on.

Well I want to work on a controversial/history driven installment series for next year. I also want to travel more, work with other photographers locally and abroad, do more workshops/tutorials. I’m always working so it’s just finding the time.

Well this logo went through tons of changes. I drew it by hand over and over until I came up with the present one. I scanned my sketches and traced them in illustrator and played around with the paths until I came up with a design that was the most appealing visually. I love it, its sleek, simple, strong and sexy!

There you have it. If you happen to be in the Nassau area and need some quality work done, don’t hesitate to check out Scharad. I’m look forward to keeping up with him in the future, especially awaiting the controversial/history driven installment series. Stay tuned for the next RM Talk.

A great man once said..”Don’t waste your money on film school”…..and I didn’t! I’ve been surrounded by photographers for years, being infront of the camera, and have lots of great photographer friends that shoot for magazines, and own them.  I hadn’t thought to get on the other side of the camera until somewhat recently. And I must admit, I like it much better.  

Luke Leonard and Bill DeMichele have a lot to do with why/how I started.  I also am an assistant for Bill DeMichele, who photographs for International Tattoo Art Magazine, and a dear friend of mine. Sometimes we will do tattoo expo runs all over the country, and I help him run his and Lyle Tuttle’s Old School Tattoo Expo every year in Saint Louis, Missouri. Now Luke Leonard and myself own a production company together called Fetus Productions. The name has 2 meanings…..1.) Fetus is my chihuahua’s name, and 2.) Fetus-something to grow and prosper into something GREAT!

• Still/HD Camera: Canon 5D Mark II w/28mm to 135mm Lens, 70mm to 300mm lens.
• Also have Mamyia RZ67 Medium Format camera, w/110 Lens and 120 film back.
• Canon XL2 and wireless mics.

My BRAIN! hahaha but really…I can’t plug the Canon enough…the Canon 5D is the most important because it enables me to be able to shoot 21.1 mega pixel digital quality still photos and also enables me to shoot 1080P HD quality video at 24 & 30 frame rates to allow me to shoot everything from music videos to a feature film if need be while being able to utilize high end Canon lenses.  It’s just an awesome tool.

Well….Setup, and SHOOT! A lot of talking and working with the subject, making them feel comfortable, and you can always tell when I really get rolling, I tend to make a lot of “O”’s and “Ah!” Sounds.  I’ll Jump up on stuff, roll around like I’m in the military dodging bullets to get the right shot.

Just to get the right shot! The outcome is what inspires me before/during a shoot, looking into the future of what I’m shooting as I see it how it will be finished. And sometimes alcohol! Kidding…

I believe digital photography is a superior format in the industry right now and for myself as a photographer because of it’s ease of use, the ability to use photoshop to make quick adjustments while shooting and the options of shooting either RAW or large to small JPEG sizes make it the best shooting format per my needs.  

Although I know film to be a far superior format, the cost of shooting film will probably in my opinion keep it as an artsy option for those photographers that are going for a specific look in their photography.  That being said I believe that the low cost of shooting digital will continue to push that format as the industry standard far into the future.

I DO prefer people, I mean I do objects, but people are intense, so many different shapes of features, combinations of expressions, levels of intensities…..

It’s a little of both.  I mostly shoot my images as either RAW or Large JPEG files and from time to time I do work in Photoshop to do some final retouching.  I only retouch those pics that I think need it or if it will complement the final image. Little contrast here, little saturate there, BAM!

My favorites thus far, has to be the one of my nephew, and Kristina’s photo. He looks like a precious moments character, except REAL! And with Kristina’s photo, she has a lot of beauty and charisma to be captured. I saturated her eyes just a teeny tiny bit, but that was it.  I’m kinda sad that I didn’t get her tear in there, I had a big fan blowin in her eyes and they wouldn’t stop watering, it was so pretty!

We don’t just do a lot of behind the scenes work, we do it all.  We’re a fully working production company called Fetus Productions.  We just completed shooting a three day music video for my friends band called INFERNAEON.  The video is in the editing process right now and is slated for a August release.  We did shoot behind the scenes footage and stills of that shoot also.  We shot all the band photos for INFERNAEON’s  new album that will be released in August also.  Along with the promo pics for them.  

Right now we are in the process of doing preproduction for another music video for a band that is signed to METALBLADE RECORDS.  Sometimes I do still photography on other peoples sets, but while shooting with my company, I’m directing.  I love it, and I’m told I’m a blast to work with.  I keep things professional and lay the hammer down when needed, but other than that, I just want everybody to be comfortable and their needs met, whilst having fun. Oh, and we did a 30 second movie theater pre movie snipet for Oderus Urungus, the lead singer of GWAR, to be aired in theaters in Virginia, now HE was awesome to work with!! hahahaha..Things are really moving quickly right now and we’re looking forward too and are excited for a very busy Fall.

I love both, but, music videos are a lot of fun. We get to listen to really loud music, and always have a great crew of atleast 30 people, and pop a bottle of champagne at the end of the martini shot!:) Everybody works really hard, and does such a great job, our crew deserves it! Music videos are def a longer process than photography, but I enjoy working with a lot of talented people at once.

There you have it. If you happen to be in the Mount Dora or Central Florida area, and need some media work done….you can check out Pia and Fetus Productions.
