RenaLabs Facility in Jackson, MS

RenaLabs Facility

At RenaLabs they do dialysis testing and processing. Our objective with this shoot was to showcase the various functions and proficiency of their facility and staff. The real challenge here was to shoot a fully operational lab while everyone was working.

Staircase at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville

Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital

This massive staircase rises thirty feet in the air and dominates the front door of the Hospital. The real challenge was to fit everything in the frame, the solution was six separate images, three exposures each and then stitching everything together in Photoshop. That and keeping people from walking down the stairs as we were shooting.

1st TN Bank off West End

1st TN Bank off West End

We shot at sunrise. Well, as close to sunrise as the bank would let us in. 8:45. This is a set of blended exposures due to the time constraints and number of images needed of this location.

Silverton Bank Boardroom in Franklin, TN

Silverton Bank

Just a nice straight-forward image of a corporate boardroom, right? Wrong. As with any interior location, no one seems to have the time to let us set up lights and stage like we need to. So this again is a composite image with the table and chairs from one shot, floor and walls from another, lights from yet one more. You get the idea.

D5 Apartments

Shooting a newly finished construction site is neither pretty, nor a good idea, but sometimes these things cannot be avoided. Southland had finished these lofts in December, we had to shoot in January to have the site up by February. So needless to say, we did a bit of retouching and rebuilding on this guy as well.

Lakehouse at Sunrise outside of Hattiesburg, MS

Lakehouse at Sunrise

We were shooting lifestyle shots on this lake in Mississippi for Challenger Tackle and we needed some "wild art" shots. Up at 5AM to shoot is good for 2 things, early morning light and a nap after lunch. This was the cabin next door to where we were staying.

The Guesthouse on the Black Estate in Nashville

Guesthouse

When the Tom Black Center for Selling called and asked us to shoot all of the supporting images for their new website and collateral material. We shot at Tom's home, which happened to be a 35,000 square foot estate complete with this beautiful little guest house.

4th Ave in Historic Downtown Franklin

Historic Downtown Franklin

This is where we live, well, not in this house, but this is downtown Franklin. The challenge here was to show downtown Franklin, without it feeling like every other image produced from this area.

Casa Corazon, shot from the beach outside of Tulum Mexico

Casa Corazon

This beautiful beach resort was very difficult to shoot. Full sun, white puffy clouds, tall jungle trees that cast long shadows in the afternoon. It was a tricky shoot but we got past it.

Tennessee State Inlay at Cumberland Transit

Inlayed Sales Floor

Cumberland Transit is a Nashville fixture, so when we had the opportunity to shoot the store for their new collateral pieces and website, I was excited. It took close to an hour of staging alone but something about capturing the feel of the shop in one shot is worth it.

Red Drapes, dressed by Star Moberg in Brentwood, TN

Windows Dressed in Red

24-foot long red drapes are pretty dramatic, let alone 3 that were hand-stitched. Shooting in this beautiful home in Brentwood had two major obstacles: one, too much eye catching design and two, windows that ran along the north wall. Well, we overcame and discovered this jewel in the appropriately-named great room.

There is always an opportunity on a shoot capture something just as it is, a hidden jewel that lays outside of our shot list.

Staged Dining Room shot for Rich Kellty in Nashville, TN

Staged Dining Room

Sometimes our job as creatives is to create something from nothing. This was not one of those times. Rich Kelly had staged this room in such a way that we could shoot like it was a furnished location.

Decorated Dining Room shot in Nashville for Simply Star Design

Decorated Dining Room

Sometimes we get time to light, time to shape, time to create an image in camera the old fashioned way. That’s what happening here. A half-dozen lights and a hour or two of setup and staging.

Kitchen shot for Star Moberg in Nashville

Breakfast Nook

This image is important because it was an instance where I just said, “this will be a great image, trust me.” Out of all the images from this shoot, this is the most published image from that set.
