A little history concerning the name. I concluded that the City of Chattanooga would benefit from changing their name to Chootanaga. First of all, it sounds cooler and second, it rolls off the tongue easier. So Chootanaga it is!
Now for the actual events. I joined a photog friend Jen for a wedding gig she had this past weekend. The evening before we had a little time leading up to the rehearsal dinner to tour the city. so we strutted around and took some snaps for yours and our enjoyment.
Wedding videos are a great way to remember the day. While it will never replace the need for a photographer, a video of your special day, in this present time of social media networks, video is a great for sharing or reliving the day with friends and family. I focus my creative energy on the photography time of the day, its during that time when stress is most relieved. Family is enjoying themselves and the Bride and Groom are most at ease.
Here are a couple of videos that I've produced. Looking forward to more in the future. Drop me a line if you're interested in scheduling your wedding.
So my good friend, Aaron Greene from down south received recognition for his work of the Derek Webb Stockholm Syndrome video. The main interest to this video, at least from a photographers perspective, is that it was shot with the Nikon D90. Check out his whole post describing the project.Kelby Blog
So I passed through GA yesterday meeting some incredible people while doing so. Recently became acquainted with Jen of PhotoJenik Photography - take a look! Anyway, while restricted by the everlasting downpour we managed to capture some images of an amazing couple - Anna and Josh. Here are "some" of the pix from this section of the trip.
Some work opportunities have pulled me south for the coming week and I'm currently halfway there, spending the weekend with my sister and brother-n-law in the Nashville, TN area. Had some pictures from this weekend and thought I'd share them. Enjoy!
Currently in contact with a "new" local indie band about a possibility of photos and ...video? Looking forward to delving into all of the creating possibilities. Keep an eye out!
Here's the video from the August Experimental Shoot. I tell you, it's great when you have friends willing to open up their property for a group of strangers to come out and take some photos. Thanks to the Plattner's for letting us come out, we truly had a blast! Hope you enjoy the video.
Just completed the September shoot this past weekend. Check out the album on facebook... September Gallery. In hindsight, a theme that I saw come out was turning day into night. All of the photos are shot during the day (10a-2p). Anyway I'd love for you to leave a comment on how well you think I accomplished my digital transformation of each shot. If you're on facebook, become a fan and leave a comment. Thanks!
Peirao Group is been going steady for a while now and a lot of exciting things have been happening. The biggest of which was the our new name. "Peirao Group" - while visually peirao group looks cooler than "monthly experimental shoot" there were a few problems... one being pronunciation. So... to solve all problems I've created a video that should clear up all issues connected with that.
Enjoy!
I then also created a video for our July trip up to Chicago... Stay posted! August's video is coming soon.
For those living under a bush, The Peirao group is a collection of photographers that I organize a monthly experimental shoot for. The word Peirao is greek for "Try" or "Test" and that's exactly what we do at our shoots. Looks us up on facebook
