By the time you’re seeing this (for those of you in the United States, at least), I’ll be through eating lunch in Madrid , and probably looking for a pillow for a quick siesta. For the next 16 days, I’ll be teaching a travel photography course across this beautiful country. This course also coincides with [...]
I met Baron Batch at a show I was playing with the Hogg Maulies in Lubbock nearly a year ago. I didn’t know much about him at that time other than his work on the football field. That night, I found out he is also a photographer and writer, and since then, we’ve been able [...]
I just noticed that it’s been nearly a month since my last Field Lighting post! So much for the weekly series, ha! If you read my last post, you’ll know I’ve spent much of the past month inside a vehicle and not at home base. The good thing is that all the time on the [...]
The Junction courses are about to wrap up, and although there are many photos and stories to share, getting to sleep four hours every night is catching up on us! So, I’ll just share a shot of my class, the A-Team! I ended up with four in the videography course, and they are working their [...]
Our first and second day at Junction saw us shooting quite a bit of flower work. The rain has come pretty regularly, and we take advantage of the overcast skies by shooting on a macro level. I’m engrossed in high-speed sync flash work again, and I’m finding a few inhabitants along the way. Macro work [...]
Early mornings and late nights, little sleep, and awesome light! Wyman Meinzer and I are back in Junction, and over the next 15 days, I’ll try to keep the site posted with little asides from our adventures with 15 college students, all of them here to dive deep in visual creativity! It’s an extremely productive [...]
When I posted last about James Watkins’s hands, it struck me that most of the posts regarding lighting and photoshoots (in my world at least) revolve around using some sort of artificial lighting technology. I love using lights, and if you’ve read this blog enough, you’ll know that I’m a diligent user of several gonzo-sized [...]
That’s right, an HD video/documentary course, in Junction, Texas, Texas Tech University satellite campus, May 12 – May 27. If you are frequent readers, you know I’m a photography instructor (of sorts) at Texas Tech University, and for five years now, I have been teaching a field photography course with Wyman Meinzer at the Junction, [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted a “guess-how-I-lit-this” shot, and a few of you responded, both on the blog and on Facebook. The shot, as well as those included in this post, were created for a story on real forensic science work at Texas Tech University, for their alumni association’s publication, The Techsan. I have [...]
Let’s face it: often times as a photographer, you’re pressed for time. Hopefully you’re never late for a shoot, but when we start working with light and other people, we’re involved with highly dynamic variables. On a clear day, light is pretty predictable, but sometimes that sneaky set of clouds will set in right before [...]
I'm an editorial and natural history photographer based out of Lubbock, Texas, as well as a photography instructor at Texas Tech University. My work primarily focuses on features and environmental portraits for magazines, books, and commercial purposes, and I'm available for both domestic and international travel.
I'm a regular contributor to the Manfrotto School of Xcellence, an educational resource for amateurs and professionals alike. I'm also a partner and editor for Badlands Design and Production, a publishing house that focuses on high-end coffee table photography books.
