Piercing the Darkness

Inspiration can often come from that which we hold dear.  Being a person of faith, I was really drawn to this image. So I decided to create a dramatic visual that would contrast good and evil with light and darkness.  I added two buildings that I shot on a trip to Nashville along with a sky I shot at sunset.  I then added some dramatic lighting effects and other representations of good and evil to bring it all together into a very powerful image.  The result is an image that is not only visually appealing,  but one that really makes you ponder its implication.   "Mouse over the image to see the original"

Wild Bill!

Sometimes images come through our Post Production Department that just beg for us to do something with them. This image just happened to be one of those. The person in this image is our studio manager Bill or for this shoot, lets call him "Wild Bill". Many of us here in the studio often get wrangled into being test subjects so that the photographer can dial in his lighting and placement before the client arrives. Bill had just such an opportunity a month ago and this is  one of the "test" shots our photographer took. I took the liberty to create a scene out of the  Wild West using a landscape shot from one of our other photographers and added  other elements to complete the scene. Who says work can't be fun? It's all in how you approach it.  "Mouse over the image to see the original"

Let It Snow!

This is the latest creation for our friends at Insight Magazine. The gentleman in the snow globe is Dan Ariens, CEO and President of Ariens Co., a manufacturer of snow removal and lawn-care equipment. Of course he wasn't in a snow globe but we sure thought it would be cool if he was.
