ACME Photography

Tim and “the Boys” at a wedding in Scottsdale Arizona.

Who says the groom and groomsmen have to all line up like “ducks in a row” for the photographer to photograph them? I think this pose works well visually and is something a little different from some traditional photography, yet not too crazy.

There are many wedding photographers in Phoenix AZ and it was great that know that Tim and Jeanette chose me based on my style as a wedding photographer. We had a great time making some photos.

Meet the Robinsons – Wedding Photography in Arizona

Meet the Robinsons….
Tim and Carrie were married Dec. 30th, 2006.
They chose me to be their photographer and we had an awesome time. We created some photos “strobist style” on a golf course. What a great couple!

Scott Editorial in Mesa Arizona

Portrait of Scott for an Editorial Magazine Article.
Being an on location Photographer is great because I like the outdoors and I am a people person. Creating an environmental portrait can be a challenge showing not only the person, but where they are. I like to incorporate some of the lines of the environment and create some visual art that tells a story as well.

You may notice that Scott is not very large in the photo. I could have zoomed in more so he would be larger in the frame. I did in some a few other photos, however in editorial photography it’s important to leave some room for cropping (A magazine cover is not full frame, some will be lost on the top or bottom) as well as leaving some negative space for the magazine title, copy, etc.

Thanks Scott for a great photo shoot!

Phoenix Arizona Editorial Businessmen

Two Arizona Businessmen who also know how to jump on their Harleys and ride through the desert in the Valley of the Sun. I think these guys would know how to get things done for their clients.

This photography was for a Phoenix based Realtor magazine. How much better is this photo than having Realtors sitting around a conference table wearing ties pretending to be in a meeting. Work hard and play harder = a great Realtor.
