This is Nall. He apprenticed under Salvador Dali.

He enjoys the outdoors.

I love the Fall....

I was able to shoot outside all day today for Main Street Birmingham.

Good day.

Bocce Balls & Coon Dogs

The August/September issue of Garden & Gun was the "Secret South" issue. It was based around locations/events that you wouldn't really know about unless you knew a local Southerner.

I had two very unique shoots for this issue.

1) A Bocce Ball court that is open only during the summer months in the back of Chez Fon Fon.
2) A Coon Dog Cemetery in a little town above Decatur, AL.





















Wow. How different can two things be?

On White - Carla Jean Whitley & David Carrigan

Whenever I have to spend a day editing behind a computer, I usually announce a "On White" day on Twitter. This basically means people stop by and they get a portrait on a white background.

This gives me a "job related reason" to stop actually working on what I need to be doing (aka staring at a computer screen) and take a break to shoot.

On White - Amelia Strauss

The great Amelia Strauss stopped by the studio last week to get a couple On White shots for her upcoming site! Make sure to check out Amelia's Current Site and look for the new one in the next month.

On White - Rob Culpepper

I really like this guy.

On White - Chase Kuhn

I know it's not Friday, but I really like these shots of Mr. Chase, so i thought I would go ahead and post them.

On White - Jon Black

As promised, here's a couple shots On White from the most recent Jon Black shoot. I hope you enjoy, and have an enjoyable day.

In The Studio - Jon Black

Today, I shot the great Jon Black. Jon and I have a good history of photos together, and it's always fun to shoot with him.

Be sure to check out the blog on Friday to see a shot from this shoot On White.

In the Studio - In Your Face!

Tuesday are now dubbed "In the Studio - In Your Face!"

What does this mean? Every tuesday I'll be showing you a little glimpse of what's been going on in good ol' SecondRow Studio. We may have interviews with people who stop by, video of a concert, or just photos from our day to day.

First up: SecondRow Studio itself!

It occurred to me today that I've never shown pictures of our place here at SecondRow Studio. Well, all that is about to change.



This is our natural light shooting space. Those windows are absolutely amazing for great, even, light. Almost everything I've shot On White takes place in front of these windows. My bike makes a regular home on that wall because I don't own a lock. Now you know.



This is are second shooting area, mainly used to create a darker environment for when lights are being used. Jason Wallis is the king of this area.



And since everyone needs a giant large format camera in the corner of their meeting area, we got one of those too.

Bob and my workspace is currently under construction and will hopeful be available for next weeks "In the Studio - In Your Face!"

I hope this has been enjoyable for you.

On White: Wayne and Brianna

When an engagement shoot becomes a road trip, it also becomes a Fantastic engagement shoot!

I'll tell you more of this story when the film gets in, but for now, enjoy these "On White" shots.

Celine & Waiting for Contact Sheets

Celine is awesome. I can't wait for her site to launch this summer! We recently did a casual shoot for her profile section of the site.



I should have some contact sheets coming in today or tomorrow from Richard Photo Lab. The sheets will include Katie Herzig, Katherine Tucker, Skaters, and a roll from the shoot I did with Jeremy. I'm pretty pumped!

We call days when film comes back "Film-mas" because it kind of feels like a certain December Holiday. Can you guess it?

In other news, Rob and I just returned yesterday from a great trip to Austin, TX. The wedding we shot featured one of the greatest couples ever! I'll try to post a few images when the wedding is launched.

Talk later!

Skaters & Katherine

Thursday was a personal shoot day. I ending up shooting a few skaters from the skate shop near my studio; as well as my good friend Katherine Tucker. Film to come.



Peace. - Caleb

On Black: Stephen Devries & Paul Bryant

Love these guys and what they do.
