Garrett is a super talented singer/songwriter from here in Atlanta. We did a quick shoot last year, but as usual, as I was going through some old pics, I just wanted to try something different.
If you ever get the chance to see Garrett live, go do it! He's got a great soulful voice. Check him out on myspace or facebook. It'll be worth your time.
Wow...am I really this behind on blogging.
Back in September I got to fly back out to my old musical stomping grounds (Fayetteville, AR) to spend some time with some of my best friends from the band days, to shoot promo shots for their new band/ep. You might remember the "water in yo face" post from a while back, but I did want to share some of the other hilarious shots from the weekend. Plus, while we were there I did some photos for Dave Wilson too. He's a producer/engineer living in Nashville, but was our horn player back in the day, so it's basically like a huge fraternity getting back together to make music and have a blast the entire time. Dave is building his business and needed a couple shots for his website.
I can't wait for everyone to hear the tunes that they recorded for Boom! Kinetic and for Zach Gump (one of the singer's from BK is also doing a solo project), but here are a couple of my favorite images from the weekend.
Obviously the answer is pretty much a "NO"...but after I was blessed to shoot Chrystina Fincher and the Buckhead Church worship band 2 Sundays ago, I was convinced it was possible. Chrystina and the band are some of the most professional, talented, and engaging musicians I've seen...period...I'm not just talking about Christian musicians. They just flat out rock, and the funny thing, after looking at these pictures on my camera was that even without sound, the band looks like they're really good. Maybe it's just the lights, maybe it's the fact that I was listening to them while snapping away, or maybe its the fact that as professional musicians, they've spent years and years not only getting better at their instruments, but also getting better at looking at ease on stage. Either way, they rock...thanks Carlos for having me back out to shoot!!!
The other thing that's been cool about shooting at Buckhead Church is that I've realized that my taking pictures can be an act of worship to God. Especially when taking pictures of worship, but also when taking pictures of God's creation whether it's a mountain, a person, or a reflection that a puddle creates. How cool is that?! I just came away from Sunday thinking about how I, through the entire 3 song practice I ran around the empty auditorium trying to get shot after shot, furiously snapping away, but in my head I was singing and worshiping God with Chrystina and the band. It was a cool moment for me and an amazing reminder that God delights in us enjoying the things he gives us.
Here are a couple of my favorites from the day:
The latest shoot I was fortunate enough to work was with Haley, a sophmore in high school up in Alpharetta, GA. She's a cousin of an old work buddy from my days at BBDO Atlanta. It was really fun because she's an aspiring actress and will be using the headshots to try and get an agent. Hopefully, the pics will also lead to some more biz with other thespians lookin for some different types of headshots. It was a super bright day, but we were able to find some shade and a couple new locations that I'll definitely use again. Here are my current favs from the day.
So, the blog world is officially bringing business to S Hunton Photography. It's really amazing to see how God will orchestrate things through the internet. From my first friends at the University of Arkansas in 1998, to getting booked to shoot at Buckhead Church last Sunday. One of the cool parts about the job was that I was finally able to meet Carlos Whittaker, whose blog is linked to the right. I'd randomly gotten connected to his blog through my best friend and realtor extraordinaire John Fountain. I'd read his blog and even traded emails, but had never met him in person although he works at Buckhead Church where Kristine and I go.
Anyway, long story short, Carlos is connected to some crazy talented photographers (many of whom I'd found on the internet long before) who all (fortunately for me) live in CA. He posted a blog about needing a photog for some Buckhead promo pictures and luckily for me, another good friend from the Arkansas days Jason Miller threw my name out as a recommendation. Carlos shot me an email and here are a couple of my favorites from the day:
