I used two speed lights one attached to monopod held behind Alexandra and a small octobox was focused on the left side to get this shot.

Thought of the day:
I started my journey as a photographer/cinematographer about 9 years. Every photograph or movie, I challenge myself to get better and more innovative. As much as I like feedback from the internet audience, I cant allow that to dictate quality. I have to be honest with myself about my work in order to continue to grow. Most people are afraid to ask themselves if their photographs or films getting better. Stop allow people to tell you that average out of focus, overexposed, badly composed photographs are great and you are the greatest photographer. Base your work on those who are striving to become great. Check out work on 500px.com or movies with great directors and challenge yourself to become great at what you do. Set the standard!!

CLICK HERE OR POSTER TO VIEW THE FILM
I challenged myself in this film to not use any dialogue. Once I acquired the perfect historic location
in the heart of Chicago. Casting was pretty easy because I had worked with the talented model Christine Gambal
on several fashion photoshoots. Christine mentioned she was interested in doing some acting.
It was a two man crew of Herbert Staten Jr and Earl Dickens
In society we always base out perception on experience and what we can see. People never really
get to know why someone has ended up in a certain situation. This short will demonstrate
everyone is not as they seem, we often need to take the time understand
the person behind the outward appearance. You may be surprised!!
Enjoy!!!

I had the opportunity to capture the marriage of Joe and Brittany on June 15th, 2013. It started out a raining day but the time guest arrived so did the sun. It was a beautiful day!!

Actor Scott Bailey and Kyle Berg play the leading characters. Very dialogue driving storyline will have you guessing who is next in their quirky yet very precise skills of eliminating the next target.
