Interior (Re)design

I recently photographed a project for  Gianna Cerullo of Dave Perry-Miller and Associates. She is not only the listing agent, but she handled all of the interior design, from the finishes to the furniture.

A Day at the Lake

Dallas interior designer Carrie Roby asked me to photograph a lake house she recently completed. Her two-year project resulted in a beautiful lake home that uses splashes of bright color against a palette of neutrals.

We spent most the day photographing the interior. The weather was a little unkind - very cold, gray and windy - so we weren't able to get much from the exteriors.

Here are a few photos from the project.

Mediterranean-Inspired Estate

I was recently asked to photograph one of the premier estate properties in Dallas for Dave Perry-Miller and Associates. The grounds are every bit as beautiful as the interior of the home. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Social Media Portraits

I've been working on a project for a new company that creates websites for small companies. I was requested to shoot portraits of the employees, but to do something creative.

I started with a simple headshot, but went for a lighting scheme that was a bit different for me. I used a beauty dish over the camera as the key light, and then filled with a ring flash. After getting a headshot of each victim  employee, I had them hold an iPad or cell phone up in front of their face. I then pasted in their portrait during post.

Overall, the portraits have been well received.

Modern Town Home

This year started quietly but quickly heated up. I've had quite a few interesting projects to photograph, including this modern town home for Jarrad Barnes of Dave Perry-Miller & Associates. Here are a few of my favorites.

Aerobic Photography

I was lucky enough to photograph a lot of extraordinary homes this past year, but this particular one stands out. The combination of architecture, finishes, furniture and art really caught my eye. It might be the most beautiful home I've ever been in, let alone photographed.

Originally I was told I would have 3-4 hours to photograph the very large home and grounds, but circumstances beyond my control cut that time in half. It was a track meet trying to get everything covered, but I was really happy what I was able to capture in a frantic couple of hours.

Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Fast Food

I recently completed a project for The Dallas Morning News that involved shooting interior photos of 19 El Fenix restaurants around the Dallas - Ft. Worth metroplex. I had one hour to unload, set up, shoot 8 different views and get out before each restaurant opened for lunch. Needless to say, it provided me with a new understanding of "Fast Food."

Here are a few of my favorites from the project.
