Seamon Whiteside – Summerville Office 10 Year Anniversary Celebration

“At SW+ we view ourselves as a partner in site design; working by our Clients’ side, with their goals in mind. This means we strive to fully understand their vision, approach their project with passion, continuously collaborate, produce quality plans, and engage in the construction process to help see the vision through.”

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph last night’s celebration, commemorating the 10-year milestond of the Summerville office! The reception was held at the beautiful pavilion in Ashley River Park. This was a project that SW+ worked hard on. So it was fitting that this reception was held under the gorgeous architectural designs of one of their projects.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Summerville office, and to the entire Seamon Whiteside team! SW+ celebrated their 40th Anniversary as a company last year!!!

To cover the event, I used a Nikon Z9 (x2), Nikkor Z 24-70 f2.8, Nikkor Z 70-180 f2.8, DJI Mavic 3 Pro. This setup allows me to work quickly, producing an incredible variety of extemely high quality images from such intimate events.

North Charleston Police Evidence Building

It never ceases to amaze me what cool and interesting places my camera gets me into!

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing a very non-descript building in a back lot off a remote cul-de-sac in North Charleston. Turns out this will be the new North Charleston Police Evidence Building!!! Yup…try getting into this facility in a few months once it is up and operational. I bet security will be like entering Fort Knox! Things were still very much under construction on the inside. But it was really cool to see all the movable shelving displays they were installing. There were separate secure rooms for things like firearms, drugs, DNA, and fingerprints. Just imagine what stories these four walls will be able to tell in 50 years!

Many thanks to Trident Construction for trusting me with another important assignment. Everything was shot with Nikon Z9, Nikkor Z 14-30 f4, and Nikkor 24-120 f4.

Headshots for the LightGuage Company

I had the pleasure of working with the LightGauge Company this week, capturing their team’s new professional headshots in Charleston, SC. It’s always a rewarding experience to bring out the best in my clients.  And this shoot was no exception! LightGauge Company is an innovative leader in interior and exterior construction specialties. Their dedicated team brings unmatched quality and attention to detail in every project they work on. You can learn more about their services at golightgauge.com.

For this shoot, I used my trusted Nikon Z9 paired with the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens to ensure sharp, high-quality images. To create a professional yet approachable look, I utilized two Godox AD200 flashes and two Godox Speedlights, which provided excellent control over lighting and helped highlight my client’s professionalism (while still catching a taste of their fun personalities). The combination of this high-end gear, and my years of experience, allowed me to help everyone relax while I worked quickly and efficiently.  I was able to deliver striking headshots that match the high caliber products LightGauge Company is known for.

It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with forward-thinking clients like LightGauge. Many thanks to my friend Bobby Carrier for his kind referral! And a special thank you to Jessica, their Director of Marketing, for working with me to come up with a neat concept for the look and feel of their new headshots!!!

Baker Motor Company Tower Sales Office for Glick Boehm Architects

This was a fun assignment! I’ve seen the new Tower Sales Office display near Nexton while driving up and down I-26. So it was really cool to be able to photograph it for Glick Boehm Architects!!!

B.W. Mitchum Trucking Co.

For almost 70 years, B.W. Mitchum continues to be a leader in customized intermodal and domestic transportation, while still maintaining the core principles you’d expect from a 3rd generation family business. Ronnie, who has steared the ship since 1990, takes great pride in the reliable and personalized customer service they are known for. The company provides exceptional logistical support, transportation, warehousing, transloading, and brokerage services to their industry. They now operate multiple terminals with over 200 trucks!

I’ve known Ronnie & Jan for many years. I mentored Jan, who is an excellent photographer in her own right. I photograph family portraits for them. And I even photographed their daughter’s wedding! So when their daughter, Brooke, reached out to ask if I would help capture some new and updated headshots and team photos for them to use in a new website they were building, I was absolutely delighted!!!

The Ames for Seamon Whiteside

It was an absolute pleasure to photograph this new apartment comples in the Nexton community for Seamon Whiteside!

The Ames strive to create an atmosphere that makes you want to kick up your feet and stay awhile. It has a ton of amenity spaces where neighbors, families, and pets can live, work, play, and bond together. It includes a pool, yoga studio, workout room, clubhouse, pickleball courts, dog park, and more. Plus it’s in a perfect location in downtown Nexton, steps away from local shops, restaurants, or neighborhood events.

Many thanks to Lia for coordinating all the details for this shoot!
