The Division has been one of those games I have been watching for a long time now. Not because I am a huge gammer (I buy one game every 6 months), rather it's because the games story fascinates me. I have love for post apocalyptic stories lord knows why! But none the less when Ivana said she wanted to shoot and wanted to do something more creative I had a pretty good idea of what to do. The session was a lot of fun and Ivana and Bonnie were awesome especially since the weather was crazy cold! I am excited to shoot with them both again soon!
Kona Skate Park | Rachael and Pat
I have not been to Kona probably since I was in middle school! But Pat and Rachael had a pretty cool idea for a shot and Kona was the perfect place to pull it off. In most skate pictures you see a skater or you see a girl. We wanted to combine them. Pat is super talented on his board and we got some pretty awesome shot. The hardest part of this blog was picking just a few to post as they all came out so good. I cant wait to get back out to Kona with Pat again and get some more dope shots!
Hillsong Nights - New Life Church - Jacksonville, Fl
Had the opportunity a while back to be the photographer for the Hillsong Nights concert in Jacksonville. New Life put on the event and it was a major hit! The concert was a ton of fun and Hillsong was great as always. Really got some great shots at the event and was happy with the way they came out in the end. While I don't agree with Brian Huston's teachings I still enjoyed the night and Im thankful for the opportunity. Took me a while to get this stuff finalized but here are the shots!
Riverside Hipster - Ben
Had the pleasure of meeting Ben and Jeff during my Black and White photo class at UNF. Both of them are super talented photographers and pretty dope to work with. We had planned a shoot with a model but it all fell through so Ben volunteered to step out from behind the lens and model for us. It was pretty fun session and riverside is an amazing location!
Stress, Anxiety, Depression
We are currently in a world that puts a stigma on mental illness. Simply using the term mental illness leads us to images of Jack Nicholas in "one flew over the cuckoo's nest". But the reality is that mental illness is a far more common condition and does not make those it effects weak, crazy, or broken. The point of this project was to create images that capture what its like to deal with Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. Giving a window for the unfamiliar to understand what its like to deal with these common conditions. It is my hope that these images can lead to a real conversation on mental illness and the stigma it brings on those it affects.
Laura Street Trio - Marble Bank Building - Siobhan
For years now me and Tori have been wanting to get into the Marble Bank building. This historic building located in downtown Jacksonville has sat abandoned for years now. But at one time this was a beautiful bank servicing people from all across the city. Now the owners are preparing to brake ground and restore the historic building! After some work we finally got into the building and loved every minute of it. The building is amazing it has so much history and naturally Siobhan was amazing to work with. We were so happy with how the shot went and so glad we braved the dark and took pictures by the amazing safe.

Barnet Bank Building - Jacksonville, FL
Went out and shoot with the igersjax community group a while back. We headed into an old building in the downtown area, Barnet Bank. The building is amazing and has so much history, I can't wait see what the building becomes in the future. Thanks again the Barnet Bank and igersjax for getting us inside!
Community Fest - East Pointe Church, Jacksonville Fl
Got asked to capture the awesome community fest event on Halloween at East Pointe Church. The event was pretty packed but was a lot of fun and gave me a great excuse to fly my drone!
Community Sunrise, October 11th
Finally got some free time in my schedule to head out to #thecommunitysunrise, a weekly meet up held in my city. The Community Sunrise was celebrating its one year anniversary and it was a lot of fun networking with some talented creatives all across Jacksonville. I hope to try to make it out more often so these post will be more frequent!
