Over the years, my work in F&B has afforded me the opportunity to photograph (and at times, enjoy) many delicious meals and beverages. Safe to say, Heirloom at the 1907 has always been on my bucket list but try as I might, I just couldn't ever seem to score the tickets. My bad luck finally switched to good fortune when…

It's been a busy Spring and Summer thus far. I said goodbye to Jared as he left Novo Studio to join the photo/video team at Crystal Bridges full time and I spent the better part of April…

Today on the blog: More music photography goodness, featuring The War on Drugs and their amazing show a few months back on the lawn of The Momentary. Truth be told, this was another one of those music artists that I’d heard of but not really listened to. And of course just like last time, I found myself listening to them on the drive home. If you’re not familiar with them, here’s an essentials playlist to get you started. Cheers.

Today on the blog: A (rather large) collection of images from recent travels to New York and Pennsylvania. This was a 2 week work trip, broken up in the middle by a weekend in New York City. And we made the most of it. Along with really good food, really good drinks and miles and miles of walking, I successfully made the pilgrimage to the photo/video Mecca, B&H Photo. And I did not walk out empty handed.

Today on the blog: Recent Commercial Product Photography for Apollo Scrubs, a new apparel company who’s target audience is people in the healthcare industry. Marketed as “Thoughtful workwear you’ll never have to think about”, Apollo’s products are designed to be extremely functional and durable, yet so comfortable enough that you’ll forget you’re wearing them. And with thoughtful details such as moisture-wicking capabilities, antimicrobial protection and 4- way stretch fabrics, Apollos products are sure to be a hit with their target audience.

If you or someone you know is in search of some new scrubs, be sure to check out their products here.

Cheers!

Today on the blog: Recent editorial photography for Arkansas Wild Magazine. As it turned out, all three of the subjects to be photographed were available on the same day, so we scheduled the photoshoots accordingly. Of course, working for a chunk of the day at a computer, then driving all the way to Little Rock and doing 3 photoshoots in a row didn’t leave me much energy for driving back after the fact…(click to read more)

We recently had the opportunity to hang out with the fine folks from the Bentonville Water Utilities Department, thanks to a chance meeting with one of the higher-ups at a recent Vanarky in the Ozarks Event. Before long, we had a plan to meet for a day of photography + water utilities education. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again every time it’s relevant; One of the best parts of this job is learning about other people’s line of work. And for a major city’s water utilities department, there’s a lot to experience. And after a full day of photographing different scenarios, tools and departments, we came away with a library of images that clearly and thoroughly showcases many of the water utilities day-to-day responsibilities in visual form. Today, we’re sharing a few here on the blog. Enjoy.

We recently had the opportunity to create a promotional video highlighting and celebrating the collaborative effort between longtime local Harris Baking Company and privately held supermarket chain, HEB Stores Inc. For awhile now, Harris has been tasked with producing Sweet Hawaiian products under HEB’s “Aloha” name. When HEB requested a video presentation to show at their annual meeting, Harris Baking turned to us and allowed us to create the presentation.

Unique to this project was the fact that…(click to read more)

Say hello to Mavis Wine Company, a brand new and already-popular business in Downtown Rogers. Owners Jeffery and Meghan opened up the small wine shop / bodega / eating establishment recently, after moving from Los Angeles. Coming from the film industry, the two decided they needed new experiences and a somewhat slower pace of life.

We recently interviewed them for a Go Downtown Rogers social media feature and we are also sharing the photos, along with the interview here on the blog. It’s a good read and their space photographs extremely well. But if you don’t make a trip down here to try their delicious food and wine in person, you will TRULY be missing out.

On a recent photoshoot, the inevitable happened; I dropped an expensive studio flash while I was handholding it to get a certain shot. I don’t know how or why, it just slipped out of my hand. These things happen in a photographer’s line of work and that’s why you (hopefully) have insurance. I do carry insurance and after some deliberation, some research and some “go with your gut instinct, I began the process of switching up my studio lighting setup from Profoto to Godox.

This week on the blog: Recent work from a project with the talented and energetic folks at Freeride Studio in Bentonville, Arkansas. When they approached us awhile back about creating some new marketing images for their website and social media usage, they specifically requested…(click to read more)

Today on the blog: Some recent (and not so recent) landscape, cityscape and cycling photography. These photos are part of an art project designed to showcase the natural beauty and robust amenities in our little corner of the state. The photos will be used in…(click to read more)

From the fine folks that brought you the Johnson Square Development and the1907 Building in Downtown Rogers comes a newly updated building sporting beautiful office spaces, historic details and plenty of character. Formerly home to Harris Baking Company, this building had been sitting vacant for quite some time. But now, thanks to…(click to read more)

Today on the blog: Recent work for Sand Goons USA, a lifestyle brand aimed at people who love sand sports. Sand Goons USA is the brain child of Nate Allen, an avid lover and participant in sand sports. And in case you can’t tell from the pictures, sand sports consists of driving things (usually dirt bikes, 4 wheelers and ATVS) really fast through desert sands. This photoshoot was another classic example of why commercial photography continues to be a favorite; Not only were we able to create some super fun content, but we were able to learn about and experience another sport and its surrounding culture.

Cheers, Friends.

Today on the blog: More recent work for the University of Arkansas Center for Arkansas Farms and Food featuring the university’s own experimental farm, newly built greenhouse and the individuals that (for the most part,) make it all happen.

Today on the blog, a few recent images for the March 2019 issue of Local Palate Magazine, a premier food culture publication focused on the South. This month’s issue featured an article on Scott Baker of Tusk and Trotter. Scott’s techniques for infusing liquors with natural flavors and the resulting cocktails are gaining attention outside our little are because they are absolutely delicious. Cheers to Monday!
