I was browsing Reddit yesterday, and came across this photo. The early consensus was that it was just a very well timed snapshot. To me, it looked too perfect for it to be a lucky grab. It turns out it is a highly produced advertising photo for the adhesive company.

There are some great possibilities for highly produced shots that still look natural and candid.
It’s fun to see people get excited about my photos. A recent shoot of a restored motorcycle has been spreading around the bike-blogosphere. Because of the era of bike, the goal with these shots were to create a dated, abandoned snapshot feel. The style ended up fitting really well with the bike, which was painted to look used. It was a fun shoot and makes me want to shoot more editorial work in more natural surroundings.
As I shot this last one, I said out loud, “Nothing says the seventies like a stalker photo in the woods.”
Check it out on the Bike EXIF blog.
Here are a couple of photos from a shoot with some amazing work by Beards Floral. For anything floral – gifts, business, home – do yourself a favor and give them a call. Not only do they do stunning work, they’re amazing people.
I love how the colors pop on black.
Just got the first few cards from Running Doves Press (@RunningDoves on Twitter). They’re amazing. Give him a call if you have any excuse to letterpress something. If you don’t have one, you might want to make one up.
