February Mini Shoot Promo

vard — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:16:46 +0000

Tis the season when shooting has slowed to a manageable pace and I am finally catching/finishing up on last season’s edit work. I’ve got a bit left, but there’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. So, as life slows down just a bit I finally have time to run a promo that I’ve been wanting to for some time. The February Mini Shoot – designed around the idea that life is always more fun with more than one person. $50 for a two people, be it a couple or just friends.

Details:

1 outfit
Studio or Location
Online Proofing
Piles of Fun

…and you can add friends for $20/person. This will run the entire month of Feb, but book ASAP for better shooting slots. Drop us a line in the studio (570-752-4119) to book a Mini Shoot or if you have any questions about the promo.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you on the flip side of the lens!

Lucky You

vard — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 11:07:29 +0000

One of the cooler parts of this gig is the variety of life I run into while working. Such was the case last night while doing some recon for a promo shoot with Luck You we’ll be shooting next week. The guys played an incredibly energetic set in front of hundreds of screaming drinkers, at times having to share the stage with upwards of 20 stunning women at the same time; tis the rough life of a rocker I guess.

Anyway…it was a great show and it was perfect for seeing this band in their natural element. Should be a great shoot next week.

Rock on!

Back To Work – Seniors

vard — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 10:19:48 +0000

It’s been a bit since I’ve had a chance to post images from the ‘work’ side of shooting. This time of year the blog always suffers while I try to keep my head above water. Here’s a few from the last couple of months from some of the high school students I work with. I have another post with more seniors coming ASAP, as well as weddings and ‘everything else’ in the not too distant future.

Rock on!

It’s “Take The Family To Work Day”!

vard — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:48:58 +0000

As often as possible we try to keep our little crew of ladies with us…if we can take them on a job, we do it. They’ve had some crazy cool experiences and we’re pretty sure that’s a good thing! For sure it can add to the logistics and whatnot that go into planning a shoot, particularly a location shoot with a few hours of driving in between, but it’s totally worth it. I’m hoping they learn something about the balance between work and play…and perhaps realize that if you can make your play your work, you’re doing pretty well…

This past weekend we cruised down to Ocean City, Maryland to do some family portraits. We put in the time Sunday evening and Monday morning getting what we needed for ‘work’, then took some time to hang out and enjoy a little of what going to the beach has to offer. Watching Jazzy & Nora playing tag with the surf will never get old; and when the weather turned a little south we ran inside to do some underwater shooting in the hotel pool. I love documenting the girls being girls…it’s what being a parent is all about!

…Jazzy also wanted me to make sure I mentioned that they were catching jellyfish too. Sadly, I don’t think I got any shots of them as they were doing this while I was working with the family we were there to shoot. Regardless, I can confirm that she actually did catch some…and yes, I think she’s crazy!

Love you girls!

Seniors; Done More Fun

vard — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:11:41 +0000

Senior/Graduation images are some of my favorite stuff to shoot. I love working with people who really enjoy working hard for their images, and seniors always seem to go that extra mile. A tip of the hat to all of these fun and energetic students…thanks for making these awesome!

Rock on!

Recent Wedding Work

vard — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:01:52 +0000

As is normally the case, when the busy seasons hit I find it hard to keep the blog updated. I think about it constantly, but never seem to have time to work it in…someday I’ll figure out the right mix.

Here’s a few from some of the weddings we were fortunate enough to shoot this spring…had a blast at each one; as much work as they are, I really do enjoy shooting weddings. Thank you to all the couples who asked us to help make their day amazing!

Enjoy!

Short Story Stills – New Blog Section

vard — Sat, 28 May 2011 23:32:31 +0000

I’m spending a week in Minnesota clearing my head and preparing for life in the busy season back home in Pennsylvania. It’s a great place to sit back and refocus (photo pun #1) on where I want to go with my photography. It gives me the chance to review what I’m doing through a new lens (#2) of clarity. So, I thought it would be a nice opportunity to shoot (#3) some new project stuff up on the blog.

The ‘Short Story Stills’ section is something I’ve been working on for a few weeks now. Each entry is a new series of images that I’m using to stretch myself creatively, both behind the camera and from a production/direction perspective. In 20 images or less I’m trying to tell stories that have a beginning, middle and end. And everything is fair game; they can be complex, sexy, funny, adventurous…you name it…if the story can be thought out effectively, I’m going to try to shoot it.

Here’s a few stills from the first three shoots in the series. Each idea is a collaboration. The basic concepts for each shoot are planned out ahead of time, but are also completely malleable during execution. Everyone has a voice; photographer, models, makeup artists and any production assistants we have on hand…the more input, the better chance we have of making something awesome.

Gotta tip the hat to Chantel, Beth & Casey for being on the business side of the lens for these first sets. A major thank you to Daniel Oz and Chelsea for the backside production on shoot’s two and three…and of course Connie for helping make these ideas realities LONG before I ever pick up a camera. With all sincerity, everyone of you have been crucial to the success of these shoots and I appreciate your help in a way I’ll never be able to explain.

Thanks for checking them out! Hit the link in this post or at the top of the page to see each story in its entirety. And, if you feel so inclined, share them with your friends and cell mates.

Now, time for me to get back to my brats, sauerkraut, cheese curds & funny speaking friends.

Peace, eh! Yah-sure, ya-betchya!

Rain Boots, Popcorn and The Hat Dress

vard — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:06:09 +0000

Sitting up tonight stoked for tomorrow. I’m headed down to Philadelphia to hang with DanO and to see The Flash Bus Tour stop. I don’t do a lot of photo seminars, not because I don’t enjoy them, it’s just a time thing. But when The Flash Bus Tour was announced it was pretty obvious I needed to make it. David Hobby and Joe McNally are two rockstar photographers that spend quite of bit of time shooting small lights in big ways. I’ve learned a lot from these guys over the last few years and it’ll be pretty RAD to catch a lesson in person. Can’t wait!

Other stuff: I’ll be adding a new section to the blog soon called, at least for now, ‘Artist Articles’. The basic idea with the AA’s will be to introduce whoever reads this blog to some of the people that inspire me outside of photography. They’ll definitely have a heavy lean towards music, as I find a lot of inspiration in not only the music itself but what it takes to WANT to be a musician. Hope to have the first of these up in the next couple of weeks.

I’ll also be moving forward with my ‘off-season’ shooting project soon. Once that’s moving I’ll have piles to blog over about a 12 week period…or as long as it takes to get the first series done. The concept is cool…here’s to hoping I can pull it off the way I see it in my head.

…and I should have some info about the 300 Almost Naked People II shoot soon as well. We’ll have some fun for a good cause all over again!

So, before I pack it in I wanted to quickly post some shots I did recently with Christina. She’s crazy fun in front of the camera – VERY ENERGETIC – and ready to go that extra bit to make an image cool. She rocked a collection of hats into a dress just for the shoot! Dig it!

Rock on!
