Podcast 59: Florida High School Football Photos

High School Sports have a long history of downtown rivals and this was evident this past week in Riverview Florida. I’ve had the pleasure of working with both East Bay High School and Riverview High School - both are situated a few miles apart. Before the season started, both teams had their Football Team Pictures and Individual images taken - where the studio was transported to both schools.

Historically, the teams would go out to the field sit on bleachers and you’re at the mercy of all 80 players ready at once and also the weather cooperating. Both sessions this summer with the teams, it stormed as we were already inside.

I’m often asked, what makes our photos different from others. - The answer is simple, we continually focus on ways to create an image that feels top quality and something that could also be present in a magazine or a graphic that you would see on ESPN.

The other part of our editing process is, at times not everyone can make photo day. The edits are done, so in the event the unforeseen occcurs and a student misses the session, we can coordinate with the parent and coach a time to get image completed. This happened recently due to an injury, post team photos the parent and student came to the studio and we did their images. I was able to add the student into the team photo before delivery to the team and we didn’t miss a beat.

Tap Room Podcast 50: Theatre Photography

What caught my attention off the beginning was the subpar imagery that went out for the cast members and what I saw on social media. It was to the point where my wife and I volunteered to make sure proper images were created - we were a little selfish since our son was involved and wanted those also for ourselves.

TAP Room Podcast 45: Editing A Sports Portrait Composite

Working with athletes in the Tampa Bay market, I have the privelege of capture moments in Sports Photography and creating unique photos for both schools and individuals.

In areas of technology, it’s impressive on the continual development of what the camera can do, even more impressive is the ability of what phones can do. Some of these are quickly replacing what photographers would do just a few years ago. So how do you stand out in a crowded field when technology is advancing? It’s a simple answer - you adopt technology to your advantage and utilize it in your arsenal of skills. This doesn’t mean you stop taking images and don’t edit, it does mean you adapt and add the skill when necessary. Before we get too far along with composite imagery, a simple definition is an image where the final product is a single image made from multiple images.
