This past Saturday I hopped in my car and took a short trip to downtown St. Pete to shoot some fixed gear lifestyle images and here are few of my favorites from the short time I spent shooting. Enjoy!
AD 2 Tampa Bay Public Service Campaign
January 9, 2010
If you follow me at all on twitter you are probably aware of my excitement over the public service campaign I shot as a part of AD2 Tampa Bay. Well that campaign just went live and I am thrilled to finally be able to post about it! To give you a quick rundown AD2 Tampa Bay is an organization for young advertising professionals under the age of 32. Each year they choose a client and award them a multifaceted advertising campaign free of charge! How rad is that? This years client was the Bolesta Center. The mission for this years campaign was to spread awareness regarding the services the Bolesta Center provides. Our primary goal was to inform people that deafness can be cured.
To capture the images used in the campaign I chose to shoot real children that are currently taking classes at the Bolesta Center. With the help of my two good friends Chad Jarae and Aaron Mabery we set up our lights in a 10×12 room and shot protraits of the children as they came and left for their Saturday therapy sessions. My whole experience from start to end working on this campaign was great and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The designers created amazing ads!

2010 and Beyond
December 31, 2009
I don’t know about you but I am super excited about what’s to come in 2010! If you remember I made a post on my goals for 2009, click here to read that post. All in all I accomplished many of my goals and have myself in a very good position to kick 2010 in the face right from the start! My main goal for the early part of 2010 is to utilize the moment I have created for myself now that my first advertising campaign is in the bag , it goes live 1/4/2010 and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. In utilizing that moment my designer and I have already created my first promo of the year which will be going out mid January, look for a post on that soon as well.
I started 2009 with an Olympus E-300 and a kit lens and ended in a way I would have never imagined, shooting my first advertising campaign, with a new camera of course. Throughout this year I have had the pleasure of meeting great people that are just excited about creating great work as I am. I am forever greatful for their generosity and openness. Without their influence I am not sure I would be where I am at today. My goal for 2010 is to continue building these relationships as well as creating new ones.
I have no doubt that 2010 is going to be great! Keep on the lookout for more frequent posts from me as I have a ton of things happening in January and first part of 2010.
Cheers!
