I was recently asked to photograph the new ZTE hotspot. I love doing product photography and this is a great company to work with. I've photographed some of their phones in the past. This new hotspot is really clever as it doubles up as a projector which means that you can now stream movies on your phone and have them projected really big onto a screen or wall. Here's a few of the shots i took......
First blog post in a while as I've been crazy busy (which is a good thing). We were asked to photograph a brand new apartment complex in Swift Avenue in Durham NC. The property is called 300 Swift and was built and managed by Greystar. This would be a great place to live if you were attending Duke University or working at the hospital. We've been doing a lot of real estate and building photography lately and architectural photography is one of my favorite subjects. Here are some images from the shoot:
I love doing architecture and building photography. It was one of my favorite subjects at college. Recently we've been photographing a lot of apartment complexes in North Carolina and I've been putting those skills to good use. We are working for a company called Greystar and they have over 40 properties in our area. We've completed 3 shoots but have many more to go. Here are some examples of one we shot the other week. Its called Devon Apartments and is the sister property to Seven 12 in the Glenwood South area of Raleigh. If your looking for an apartment in this trendy downtown area, you should certainly check this out, the staff are wonderful and the apartments and amenities are gorgeous..
Well we’ve had an incredibly busy few weeks with our commercial photography in Raleigh and all over the Triangle. Photographing corporate head shots, apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, food and products.
We also have another crazy busy month coming up with shoots not only in the Triangle but we’ll also be traveling to Wilmington, Charlotte & Pinehurst.
One of my favorite shoots this past month has been at the just opened “Rye” restaurant at the Downtown Marriot in Raleigh. This has been an ongoing project as we started shooting the food photography, for the new menu, last year. For this latest shoot we were asked shoot some more food and the interior photography of the restaurant as well. This combines two of my favorite photography genres: food photography and architectural photography.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit it is a beautiful space and Chef Michael Rigot’s food is exceptional. He’s taken the “Farm to Table” concept and put a real southern twist on it.
Here are some of the images from the shoot showing the space and the food.
I can’t wait to go back for the one.
We were out again last week doing a photo shoot for the cover of Triangle Attorney at Law Magazine. The photo shoot was with one of Raleigh's most experienced litigators Kieran Shanahan. This was a really fun shoot as we followed Kieran and his staff firstly at his law offices in Raleigh and then to his horse farm in North Raleigh. I found out that we are actually neighbors and his wife, Tina, is not only a Rear Admiral in the US Navy, she is also a multiple world and National Champion equestrian. This is one of my favorites from the day.
