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!

The Perfect Introduction to a Love Story!

Several months ago one of my best friends decided to "pop the question" to his girlfriend and she said YES!! Not long after that tho he presented me with a unique challenge. He wanted to create a love story video that told how they met in a visual way but he wanted it to be very similar to a series of bible introduction videos that can be found here: 

Several months ago one of my best friends decided to "pop the question" to his girlfriend and she said YES!! Not long after that tho he presented me with a unique challenge. He wanted to create a love story video that told how they met in a visual way but he wanted it to be very similar to a series of bible introduction videos that can be found here: Bible Book Introductions

Now first let me explain why this was challenging. To begin all I had to work with was pictures of them during their courtship and a vocal recording that he did using his iPhone. May I add he has an excellent voice for voiceover work!! The next part was for me to recreate the graphics and style of the video to match it as CLOSELY as possible to tell there love story. This took quite a bit of time. I can't lie at first I seemed overwhelmed with the task at hand especially having about a day to work on this because I was busy with other client project deadlines and I was about to go out of town for several days. However after almost 12hrs of visualizing, creating and editing I was able to create a special one of a kind 3.5 minute video for this special couple. Without further ado here is the video below.  An Introduction to Carlos & Veronica!

But with that being said I have alot of content I look forward to sharing over the next few months. And I promise todo better about blogging.

 One thing I've been wanting to share is some personal projects I've been working on. One of which is a set of images from a ski trip vacation I took earlier this year. I had soooo much fun skiing, exploring, enjoying nature and having fun with friends. This trip was also an excellent opportunity to take beautiful landscape images.  I hope you enjoy these images just as much as I enjoyed shooting them!
