This month has been busy with lots of little projects.  I wanted to show off one of them, a customizable bar / brewery video menu!

Some After Effects Tips

Lately I’ve been spending some time using After Effects to create motion graphics templates.  Today, I’ve got a few tips that might come in handy for others.

Super Bowl Means Time To Eat!

    It’s the climax of the professional football season.  Even if you’re not an edge of the seat sports fan, it’s likely you’re going to get together with some good friends with some tasty food and drink.  Maybe you’ll just watch the commercial to see what the next viral sensation is.   Or perhaps just a fan of the halftime act.  Whatever your interest, you aren’t likely to be watching it without something in your hands to satiate your appetite.  […]

Ten Favorites From 2016

We all know that 2016 is becoming widely reviled as a horrible year.  However, I turned out quite a few new stock series this year, and I wanted to retrospect a bit.  So here’s my top ten favorite images from the last 12 months.  In no particular order.

Disney Photoshop Fun

You may know that before my photography career, I spent quite a few years working for Disney in Orlando, Florida.  So, I follow a few Disney related groups on Facebook.   And then this happened last night…

Home Theater Set Up

Last week, at Stocksy United, there was a buyer request to support for some images of people watching television or movies.  I think it’s great that buyers and designers can get right in and talk with management to let them know what they are looking for in the collection.  Back on topic, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to use my home theater set up as part of a shoot.  Today, I’m actually going to discuss the electronics […]

Win Free Stock Photos!

This summer has been great in St. Louis, where I live.  Now, I’m a cool weather kind of guy.  Normally, summers are high 90’s here, and last year we had 10 days in a row over 100 degrees!  So, this year, where we’ve been hovering between 70 and 80 most of the time, has been great.  For me, anyways.  So, since I’m in a very good mood, not sweating the moment I step outside, let’s liven up August with a […]
