Right in Your Own Backyard


Since performance/happenings projects seem to be a relatively hot topic in our studio, here is news of one happening currently in the Atlanta area. Perhaps you've run into it? Might be worth a look to see how it is going.

Editorial and Advertising, Welcome Back from Spring Break!

While typically there a lot of photographers out there who focus their efforts on advertising, it is always nice to see those who start to focus on telling a story at the same time, especially through visuals. Some elements of the story are obvious, and some elements are only reveals upon closer inspection.

Mark Holthusen, who works out of California, had recently e-mailed me his new site link and mentioned some of the Gallery/Personal work that are also shown on this site. He does focus a lot on post-production execution but he does take care of as much as possible in 'real-time' to save more effort on the post work. Worth a look.

I'm especially fascinated by his "Modern Icon" series where he completed a portrait series of priests from the local Russian Orthodox church. I photographed them from different angles and then rebuilt them to capture the odd distortions displayed in the traditional hand painted portraits. A unique interpretation certainly.

The roller derby portrait series is also well done as you can see here. Get inspired!
