The Business

When it comes to my work, as well as my proclivity towards featuring videos on the site, I tend to lean more towards my creative side. This doesn't mean my work ends with projects I direct and shoot for my own purposes. On the contrary, the majority of my work is business oriented. Between my own projects (which usually span a good amount of time), I shoot a good amount of videos for The University of Alabama and clients who contract me.

One of the first videos I shot for The College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Alabama was Tanglewood. The video featured a bevy of heavyweights from The University at a dedication of new land bought by the university for scientific purposes.

The next video I produced and directed was The Paul Jones Art Gallery Dedication. The video featured faculty from The University of Alabama and close friends of the late Paul Jones, a well known artist in the Alabama area.

Outside of working for the University, I also shoot freelance jobs for clients interested in working with me. The most recent being the cover of Quang Do's spoken word piece, Knight in Shining Armor. 

I've even had cases where, instead of being the main shooter for a piece, I was instead given the artistic license to envision the concept. For this Fade2Black promo (which unfortunately did not pan out) Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity allowed me to come up with the concept for the video. I then worked with my editor (Douglas Dillingham of ZombieSquid Pictures) to bring the idea together. 

This is really 80% of my work. Shooting or creating ideas for Alabama or clients. In between I shoot pieces exclusively for my own purposes. I was once told if you're good at something, get people to pay you to do it. I'm proud to say I make money doing work that I enjoy. 

Few people can say such. 

Delta Sigma Theta

I've been focusing mainly on cinematography recently, but I've still been doing photography in spurts.

One of the most recent work was for my sister sorority, Delta Sigma Theta. It's been a second since I did business oriented photography, but their pictures came out nicely.

About Business

One of my main tenets is diversity.

From the beginning I wanted to make sure my work as a photographer or videographer never fell into a certain category (for the moment). It's not a bad idea to specialize. Mastering one specific art can always bring in established clientele, but I'm still at a point I'd like my work to show a respectable amount of range.

Whenever I'm commissioned or independently working my projects usually have a creative tone, but I still receive a large amount of work for more professional or business orientated photography. Here are a few select shots from a recent shoot with Malcolm Cameroon.
