Here are some photos from our recent shooting of The ‘Heights. Jennifer Tidwell and I wrote it, and its my first scripted comedy. Needless to say, I am pretty excited about it. We will have a premiere launch within a month, but here are some stills to wet your beak.

I decided to try my hand at wedding videography for Rachel and Brendan’s amazing wedding at Ash Lawn. I will be posting the photos soon. Here is the video.

I have really been working on my style this year, and wanted to do some new shoots to reflect what I have learned in the past couple of months. In particular, I wanted to bring some of the ideas I have gotten from making movies to my photography shoots, the main one being working with amazing people who can help so I can focus on making good imagery. Thanks to Crescentia for styling, Molly, Shannon, and Camilla for modeling, John for assisting, and huge thanks to Angelo for letting us use their amazing Jewelry. I got my wedding ring there, and have loved that place ever since.

Here is a movie of the shoot and some images. Song is Odessa by Caribou

Let me know what you all think about my new direction.

Boylan Heights hired us to do a series of spots highlighting their burger place, with a focus on their food. Here is the first one, and is Powhatan Studios‘ first TV spot. Wow, I feel so corporate. In a good way.

Here is a video of me shooting fire out of my keytar. I was planning on selling it, but after making the video, I am having second thoughts.

I went to see White Rabbits on Monday night. It was a really fun show, and I had forgotten how much I like seeing shows at the Jefferson Theater. Great sound, and they start on time. Who loves promptness? This guy!

Here is a video of White Rabbits performing Percussion Gun. Amazing.

Pillage and Plunder Pictures just finished filming House Hunting, and asked me to do production stills on the last day of shooting. Not only did the movie look amazing, but I got to meet my hero Marc Singer, of Beastmaster and V fame. He was awesome. What an intense guy, but really nice. Here are a few of the less bloody shots. More on my Facebook site.

Our new video – Two for Flinchin’ is up on powhatanstudios.com. It is for our good friends down at the Starlight Cafe in Lynchburg, and features a new single from my band called City Saints.

Recently, the organizers of a red carpet/runway fashion show contacted me to do some promotional material. I love fashion, and was super excited to be able to help the event, which benefits the UVA Children’s Hospital. Needless to say, I did not know what I was getting into. I will post some images a little later, with information for the event, but I thought I would show you a video of the shoot. It shows how I work, and is a glimpse into what I do to help people get a good image. I think it is funny how non-plussed I am photographing a drag queen. Film by Brian Wimer. Music by the Dirty Projectors.

We just finished our new commercial for Trager Brothers Coffee. Here it is in all its silly glory. Also, I am starting to post my video work on our new website, powhatanstudios.com. Powhatan Studios is my new viral video company where I work with Jennifer Tidwell, Brian Wimer, and other local geniuses to bridge the gap between artistic creativity and shameless commercialism.
