Fine Art Collection | Landscapes & Nature

Whoa… it has felt like a frozen tundra here in East TN. Can I get a witness? Although we only managed a meager 1/4 inch of snow, I’ve been strategically avoiding outside, thus rescheduling photo shoots more often than not. I figure family shoots where everyone is bundled up like Randy Parker (Ralphie’s little brother...

Camp Living Stones | “Lonely Chair, Needs Friends”

On occasions I accept invitations to do commercial photography shoots. Sometimes this means shooting a product for a magazine or website while at other times it may be shooting a location for brochures, flyers, etc. I love the challenge of these types of shoots. As they say, photography is rooted in problem solving. A few...
