Recently in Images | Arkansas Commercial Photography
It is now November and the last time we updated the blog was after weeks and weeks of busyness and travel. It’s safe to say that aside from constant travel, things haven’t changed much. And for the most part, we’re not complaining. In fact recently, we had a first for the studio…live music. And that was so fun, we’ll be doing it again. But consistent photoshoots and video shoots followed by editing and managing those aforementioned shoots does create difficulties in keeping up with the normal, everyday tasks of managing and marketing a business. But today, we’re making time and space to share some images from the recent weeks. We sincerely hope that everyone is able to make some space to enjoy the cooler temperatures, the changing leaves, and life in general.
Happy Fall, Y’all.
Marlon Blackwell Architects | Northwest Arkansas Commercial Photography
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.
A Work In Progress | Northwest Arkansas Commercial Photography
The historic downtown areas of Northwest Arkansas are alive with revitalization and growth. And thanks to the wonderful people at Highstreet Development and Stronghold NWA, a rather large building in downtown Rogers is poised to be a huge part of that process. Formerly known as "The Dollar Saver Building, the large structure is in the process of being gutted, cleaned out and outfitted for a number of retail and living spaces. A large portion of the building is slated to be the new home of Onyx Coffee's production and day-to-day operations while also housing a coffee shop. There are also rumors of an upscale restaurant, a bakery, a craft cocktail bar and loft apartments being planned for the structure. I was hired by Highstreet Development to photograph the building in its current state. Enjoy the tour.
Throwback Thursday / 116 East Walnut
12 years ago when we moved into our Downtown Rogers home, I made a personal project of creating some images of the downtown area for decoration in our house. One of the images that's been sitting in our house for those 12 years is this framed image of 116 E Walnut Street. There was something about the simple doorway, the handwritten street number scotch-taped to the door's window and the mailbox firmly planted in the flowerpot next to the doorway that somehow, made the place interesting to me. To this day, it's still one of my favorites because it hasn't really changed all that much. I'm sure in years to come, it'll be developed into something cool and functional. That mailbox though....that shouldn't change at all.
Record Event Space | Northwest Arkansas Commercial Photography
A few months back, I had the opportunity to photograph one of Bentonville's newest renovations. The building, formerly home to the Benton County Daily Record Newspaper, is now a hip new event space simply known as "Record". And thanks to The Ropeswing Group, the transformation from derelict and empty to posh and modern is simply stunning. The space has already played host to a couple major events, the Made By Few Conference and the International Mountain Bike Associations World Summit and no doubt the new year will bring more. Here's a few images I collected from my time there. Enjoy.
