Certainly during these times of social and disrupted work patterns, people are missing their work colleagues. For us, that includes the fine folks at DOXA. Some of our favorite clients have been introduced to us by this established design firm, located in Fayetteville Arkansas. Among them are the Fayetteville Public Library, The University of Arkansas School of Art, High Street Development and Susan Schadt Press. Back in February, they announced a merger with local media and marketing agency, Vantage Point Communications. The merger will undoubtedly enhance their combined expertise in working with both their local and national client roster. Fingers crossed that they can all occupy their super awesome office space again soon.

How do you compile a decade’s worth of images and stories into a single blog post? If you ever figure it out, please let me know. In the meantime, this a best attempt at highlighting some of the ongoing clients, fun jobs and unique ingredients that have compiled the last 10 years of Novo Studio.

Enjoy.

A heartfelt thank you to all of my friends and clients who made 2017 such a memorable year. This blog post contains some of my favorite commercial and lifestyle images from 2017. I couldn't pick just a few favorites, so there's a lot. Send me your medical bills for injuries related to excessive scrolling and Have a Happy New Year. 

This is my first post in awhile, thanks to busy season. I'm hoping to catch up on the blog as well as update my own website as well. Today though, I'm sharing a few images that I created for Marlon Blackwell's new website. (Site Design by Doxa) Enjoy. 

I recently had the opportunity to document a few of the truly gifted doctors, nurses and caretakers at Washington Regional Medical Center. The resulting images were used in their 2016 report to the community, which was designed and produced by the Fayetteville design firm, DOXA. Here are a few of my favorite images from the project. Enjoy. 

A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to spend some time photographing life in the office at my favorite local design agency, DOXA. My history with DOXA began in college with a graphic design internship and it has continued over the years with commercial photography. I'm very thankful, not only for the creative inspiration that I've gleaned from working with the people at DOXA, but also for the friendships that I've formed with them. They are truly a good group of people to work with.  

We recently procured a copy of a printed piece that incorporated some of our images from the Fayetteville Public Library. Designed by DOXA, the piece was centered around stories and quotes from lifelong patrons and was used by the library to communicate the library's influence in the community. It's always a joy to work with DOXA and with the Fayetteville Public Library and we were thrilled to learn that the campaign raised plenty of awareness and also, quite a lot of money. For us, this job was a great reminder that Photography is always at its best when it serves alongside others for a greater cause. 

It's been another week of heavy shooting. This week, two major commercial shoots have kept me switching lenses, charging batteries and battling the weather. But no matter how busy things get, I have a rule: There's ALWAYS time for a heli-pad portrait. Here's me and my good friend Ryan Slone from DOXA acting like we know how to direct a helicopter landing. (We don't)

Happy Weekend!
