Deborah Bordeau's Bridal Portraits

These are just.., well beautiful, so I'm going to let the images speak for themselves.

Charleston Strobist Gathering on Folly Beach

A few other local photographers put together a "Strobist Gathering" at Folly Beach. A strobist gathering is where photographers trade tips and techniques about off camera flash and it's just a good time to hang out and talk shop. One other purposes of the meet-up was to bring awareness to the local photographer community of a great mentoring program, Charleston Kids With Cameras. www.charlestonkidswithcameras.org. Okay I know there is a potential that I may leave someone out and I shouldn't list names but I'm going to anyway just to say thanks to all the presenters who weren't afraid to share with us some of their trade secrets: Charlie Thiel, thanks for putting this together; Chris Smiths, I'm heading to the hardware store tomorrow to find those bungee cords; and thanks to Robbin Knight who cleaned my camera sensor for free.

A few images from the NAPP/Adobe Worldwide Photowalk in Charleston SC

Last week I had the opportunity to hang out with some great local photographers and be a tourist in our own town for the 2nd Annual Scott Kelby's (the Adobe/NAPP photoshop guru guy) Worldwide Photowalk here in Charleston. It is great to break the standard workflow, shooting style and subject matter and to throw ones-self into new shooting paradigms; it really exercises the creative muscles. No alcohol was involved in the production of these image (that came later). We also posted some images on flickr to the photowalk charleston sc pool.

The Return of "Season to Season" for Piccolo Spoleto

Daniel and I had a great time playing around and taking pictures in the studio the other day - we even got his parents to pose for a couple of shots. 

Downtown Charleston Family The Prioleau's

Rachel Prioleau was kind enough to let us photograph her, her husband Robert and her beautiful daughter with an equally beautiful name Isabella, for the aquarium project. An awesome looking family, thanks for your time guys.

  

Joseph Fields Farm Providing Charleston with Locally Grown Organic Produce

Continuing with my project for the South Carolina Aquarium I had the pleasure of photographing Joseph Field of Field Farms. Joseph Fields farm provides many of Charleston's great restaurants with organic produce. Joseph and his wife said they would love for you to come out to 3129 River Road, Johns Island between May and August to sample some of their great produce. 

Charleston Commercial Fisherman Mark Marhefka

I love my job! I know I say that a lot but really I do. One reason is that I get to meet and hang out with some of the most interesting people and learn about their lives and careers. I recently finished a project for the south carolina aquarium where I had the pleasure of photographing several people who call the lowcountry their home.

Mark Marhefka is one of the few commercial long-liners left here in Charleston. As a boy I remember cruising in the boston whaler down to Shem Creek to look at all the fishing boats come in with their daily catch. The fishing fleet on Shem Creek is a lot thinner these days but Mark is fighting back from the decks of his long-liner boat "Amy Marie" along with many others striving to offer fresh local sustainable seafood to the Charleston Area.
