Headshots for DHG

When Dixon Hughes Goodman, one of the largest accounting firms in the country, hires new associates, I have the privilege of going in and photographing their head-shots. It was a pleasure meeting and photographing some of the latest additions to their amazing team yesterday!!!

Megan’s Modeling Debut

Megan is such a gorgeous young lady with a beautiful spirit!

It’s been a pleasure getting to know her over the years as I photograph for the company she works for.  I was so excited to finally get to photograph her yesterday. We met up at White Point Garden and had a fun little fashion shoot as we toured some of the old historic downtown areas. Then we zipped over to the Ashley River for a grand finale with the dramatic sunset!

Thanks for a great session, Megan! YOU ROCK!!!

Head-shots for Southern Current

“The Southern Current mission is to spread environmental awareness by promoting renewable energy solutions.”

With hundreds of residential and commercial solar projects installed across 7 states and over 500 MW of utility-scale solar projects in different stages, Southern Current is one of the most accomplished and largest developers in the Southeast.

This was my 4th assignment for Southern Current. They are an AMAZING company, staffed with men and women of integrity. If you’re interested in going solar, I HIGHLY recommend contacting these fine folks!!!

Product Photography for Just Kenzie Jewelry

“Just Kenzie Jewelry is a product of the stirrings of my imagination”, writes Mackenzie King.  How cool is that?!?

It’s always such a pleasure working with this amazing, talented, beautiful, and giving young lady. From capturing their wedding, to photographing product photos of her wearable art, I always enjoy every shoot we do together!!!

If you’re looking for a fabulous and unique gift for that special someone, even if that someone is yourself, I highly recommend www.justkenzie.com.

Business Portraits for Falls Legal

Falls Legal, LLC is a boutique employment law firm that represents employees throughout the State of South Carolina. Because they only take on a select number of cases each year, they are able to provide a level of service and attention to detail that larger firms can’t.

It’s been my honor to photograph the Falls Legal Team for the last couple of years. Scott and Ashley work seamlessly together, are true and honest in their dealings with others, and have a genuine heart for helping others! I highly recommend them if you’re ever in need of an employment attorney!!!

Not-Your-Boring-Headshots

At Chris & Cami Photography, we may have an impeccable reputation, a polished product, and an efficient turn-around time. But behind all the professionalism, we are just regular people, who love what they do, and love having a good time doing it!

It was a pleasure photographing new head-shots for Ben at Colliers International a few weeks ago. It’s nice to know that we’re not the ONLY ones who like to have a little fun with their day!  Yeah Baby, yeah!  🙂

1 Camera, 9 Flashes

Last night I had the oportunity to photograph the Charleston Legislative Group before their first meeting of 2017.

With limited time, a confined space, and heavy foot traffic through the area, I elected to use an all wireless setup. This was a simple bank of windows in the study area of the Lowcountry Graduate Center. The last thing I needed was students tripping over power chords as they hurried past me on the way to classes and meetings!

For a soft bank of main lights, I mounted 2 SB-800 flashes on a Manfrotto stand with a 60″ Westcott shoot-through umbrella to camera right, and the same to camera left. These were set as Group A. For a kicker or rim light, I mounted a bare SB-800 on a tall Manfrotto stand and set it up high in the left corner, aimed back towards the group’s heads. The same setup was repeated on the back right corner. These were set to Group B. To add a little color to an otherwise drab background, I placed blue gels on 3 SB-800 flashes, and mounting them to one of my triple-threat brackets, atop another Manfrotto light. These were set as Group C and placed outside the building, aiming back at the blinds from behind. All stands were sand-bagged with BoaBags for safety.

The image was shot on a Nikon D4 on a Manfrotto tripod, tethered to a Lenovo Yoga laptop. All flashes were triggered by an SB-5000 on the camera, via RadioPopper Px radio transmitters. The final shot was cropped for 16×20 output, with space for graphics left at the top of the frame.

Waypoint Recovery Center

I always get an extra sense of gratification when I have the opportunity to work with a client who I know is making a difference in people’s lives. Photographing head-shots and promotional images for Waypoint Recovery Center was just such an assignment!

“Waypoint Recovery Center offers a comprehensive intensive outpatient program for drug addiction and alcoholism. Our goal is to collaborate, encourage, and support a changed lifestyle, fully independent from substance use.”

I set up my portable studio, complete with camera, lights, background, and laptop, at their office one morning. After each person had their business portraits taken, they were able to look through them on the laptop to make sure they were happy with the images. Everyone loved the instant gratification. And their favorite shot was sent off to our retouching lab to get cleaned up!

I’d like to give a personal shout out to the amazing folks at Waypoint Recovery Center. Thanks for EVERYTHING you guys do to help those folks looking to get their life back on track!!!
