Takiyah, a serial entrepreneur, had this wonderful idea to have a space to feature monthly exhibits of a photographer or creative! So to kick-off the grand opening of Pass Thru Gallery she featured Dani. I was more than happy to be there to support her and to capture this grand opening with video and photography.

For awhile now Dani has battled mental illness and depression and has lately been an advocate for mental health. To read more about that check out her blog post here. The concept of the gallery was to express how she feels in dealing with mental illness and depression through photography.  And I must say she had some amazing images in this gallery.

For a recap of the event and to hear from on this project  Danielle check out the video recap below.

Landscapes of Biloxi | Biloxi, MS

Welcome to another blog post!!! I'm happy to tell you about something I have been planning for awhile. I've been doing alot of traveling lately, some for vacation some for work. No matter where I go tho I'm always shooting. One thing I have always been passionate about is beautiful landscapes. Now more than ever i try to take beautiful shots of the places I travel to. 

With that being said I'm starting 2 new ongoing projects. The first one will be a collection of images of landscape photography from various locations that I travel to and people will be able to purchase high quality prints of various sizes of these images. This collection of images will be release soon and as mentioned will be an ongoing project. So be on the look out for that!

The second project is  a video series mostly of aerial video of the places I travel. Below is the first video of this series. Last week while I was doing some filming for a client in Biloxi, MS I took some time to get some drone shots of the Biloxi coastline and of Deer Island. I hope you enjoy!
