A few weeks ago we did a shoot for a regional Asian franchise. Without fail, when people see images after a shoot like this they ask me if I got to partake in what we shot. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten the answer is regrettably “nope.” Actually, I should probably qualify why my answer [...]
Earlier this month the studio was all about cupcakes from Gigi’s. The smell in the studio has been sa-weet! After spending a couple of days processing the images, I’m quite pleased with the results. It’s so nice when a shoot goes well. Additionally, having great equipment, super nice client and reasonable schedule makes the food [...]
I’m so drawn to the kitchen whether it be at home helping my wife get dinner ready for the boys or when I’m on set and my food stylist is prepping for the next shot. What draws me to the kitchen? I think it’s a little like a mad scientist being drawn to his own [...]
The February issue of Nashville Arts Magazine just hit the stands this week. The creative team lead by Paul Polucarpou and Katie Sulkowski make for a fun group to work with. This particular feature was driven by poetry from Alimentum: The Literature of Food and written by Paulette Licitra. On the photography side of things [...]
I continue to push myself in my photography. I’ve found that I prefer to look at things from different perspectives – philosophically and literally. With photography it’s so often a combination of “thinking” and “looking” simultaneously. I know, this sounds a bit deep for “just taking product photos” but I prefer to be a little [...]
I have this strange love affair with old and new technology. Here that contradiction plays out with old wood type and a new iPod Nano. Tomorrow … another day … another photo. – Kyle Dreier
Just so you know, you may notice two posts/photos in a single day. I’m allowing myself a little grace as the intent of this self imposed assignment is to shoot. Shoot more than normal. Shoot to be pushed. So, the net will be one photo per day, but you may see me shooting to get [...]
I found this fella in Florida a few months back and have been keeping him waiting for an opportunity to shoot him. Today was his day. – Kyle Dreier
Well, I’m absolutely enjoying the self-imposed accountability to shoot a photo a day. I’m using it as a way to push and exercise my abilities. I’ve been holding on to this belt a while now in hopes of shooting it and now that hope is realized. What will tomorrow hold? We’ll just have to see. [...]
Well, I’m keeping good on my goal now in day 2. I think I’ve found that I like shooting really small stuff. These little guys came from a recent stay at a hotel. They are about 1.5 inches tall. Boy howdy does dust show up when shooting that tight. What will tomorrow bring? Stay tuned. [...]
While walking today with Thomas Ryan of Thomas Ryan Design of Nashville, TN and Brian Dominey of Brian Dominey Design of Franklin, TN an object on the sidewalk caught my eye. Interestingly enough, Thomas was at the moment explaining the Painting A Day Project and the use of ordinary objects as subjects for these self-imposed [...]
