Peoria Home Show.

I popped in at the Peoria Illinois Spring Home Show to pick up cards and potentially meet venders, but more specifically see the booths utilizing my photos. This past year I did work for two builders in the area - Hoerr Building Group and Dan Waibel Designer/Builder. This coming year I'll be continuing work for each of these guys along with picking up some new ones. Anyway, here are a couple photos of the booths at the home show.

Product Photography

So I decided to do some product photography, but challenge myself with highly reflective objects - a decorative knife and sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses are probably the most photographed products around, but they do offer a unique trickiness to light without getting unwanted reflections in the final image. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the images I captured.

Dumit Ghantous - Environmental Portrait

So I'm just now wrapping up the editing on a shoot I had earlier today. This was a personal project, I have always been fascinated by environmental portraiture. Not to be confused with Environmentalism or going "green", environmental portraiture is the act of photographing a person in their own environment. For Dumit Ghantous, I chose his tailor shop. Mr. Ghantous is good friend of mine and I've been eager to photograph him at work. After 60 years at work he still staying active, working alongside his wife in their home. I'll be adding a link to a gallery once I get them uploaded - stay tuned!

Milwaukee, WI - Architecture

This past Wednesday I made my way up to Milwaukee for a photo gig. After the photoshoot, I managed to walk the street and take pictures of a lot of beautiful architecture in the city and yes this includes the magnificent Art Museum. However, I wasn't able to shoot everything I wanted to due to time and the fading light I got a lot of great shots. I hope to go back this summer, I completely missed a lot of the incredible churches that Milwaukee is home to.

Hoerr Building Group - New Construction

Yesterday I photographed the interior of one of Hoerr Building Group's new constructions here in Peoria, IL. This was a fun job due to the large wall of windows that allowed a lot of natural light to pour in, not to mention the house was gorgeous to start with. You can view more images on my facebook page.

Another Hoerr Building Group Project

Early this week I got pulled in to photograph a "basement" remodel for Hoerr Building Group. However as you'll see from the photos it's not your typical basement. This particular basement's feature list is endless. Here's a couple that might not be obvious from the pictures... Backlit marble counters and liquor shelf, flat panel TV behind bar mirror, and ventilation system for cigar smoke throughout basement. Enjoy!

99th Anniversary of Ronald Reagan's Birth

I was called in for an assignment to photograph the Eureka College's Reagan Society event featuring Michael Reagan. This event celebrated the 99th Anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's birthday. I love working with the event coordinators at Eureka College, they make everything run smoothly and provide ample direction for me to know what I need to capture. The event took place at the historic Hotel Pere Marquette in Peoria, IL. Below is a picture of me with Michael Reagan.
