Lifestyle head shots are always fun. It’s nice to see something a little out of the norm for commercial and corporate head shots.

These were some head shots I took of various nurses from the hospital in Lawton, Oklahoma. My favorites, and the ones shown here are the photos from upper floors with the beautiful natural light coming in. Mixed with my flashes made for a very urban New York look to the photos.

Marinas International hired me to take some editorial and advertising photography of the Twinkle light parade at lake grapevine near Dallas, TX. It’s a competition where member dress up their boats with lights. They circle the “mother ship” and the winners are announced afterwards at a party on the lake. Their were some really nice boats.

I had a blast and I hope to go again next year. (or rather this year since it’s 2012 now)

Dallas sports photography and editorial photography is something I’ve always enjoyed. When I got the call from UNT to take these photos I was thrilled. I had previously taken aerial photos of the new Apogee stadium for an editorial piece, but those were daytime photos of an empty stadium. This was a whole different ballgame. (get the pun?, lol). Live NCAA event aerials are tricky because we have to get special clearance to enter the “no fly zone”. Add the fact that it’s night to the equation and it becomes even more challenging. I’m super happy with how the photos turned out.

This was a blast to photography and I’m always happy to do work for my University.

I do a lot of advertising, commercial and editorial photography in Dallas, TX. It’s neat when all of them can combine. I took these professional commercial shots for Marinas International, a company based in Dallas Texas. I was happy to be their photographer. This was over Labor Day weekend. They wanted head shots, photos of the action in the marinas at Pier 121, on the lake and of the events like the band. Here’s the result. This is only part of the photos, You may recall seeing aerials from another post.

We took an approach of photography that was rather unique and difficult. We went around and found scenes, asked to take their photos, and then had to have them sign releases. You can imagine how difficult that became once we got to this point of the shoot.

Kevin Windham has been racing for years, has multiple lites (250 2-stroke) titles and has raced with and at time beaten the best in the sport inlucing Jeremy McGrath, (the greatest of all time) Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart and Chad Reed.  Kevin lives in Centerville Mississippi, which gets it fair share of rain. We were on standby most of the morning just waiting to see if we could fly. We finally made the trip out to his parents ranch / house and landed the helicopter right next to the supercross track.

The supercross track got a lot of rain. Kevin scouted it out. Check out the aerial photo of the track below. While it dried, we had other filming plans. Kevin Windham is an aviation enthusiast, has his own plane, and of course, knows how to fly. (both on a bike an in an airplane).

Windham literally taxied his plane down the driveway of his parents house to the grass strip.

He had to avoid the fence in the process.

Here’s Kevin Windham flying over his supercross track. This shot shows the hanger where he keeps his plane as well. Air to air aerial photography is always a blast, and also really challenging. See more of the air to air shots below. Also, for the record, it was really hard to narrow these shots down.

This last shot shows the lake on his property. The down time gave us a chance to just hang out with K-Dub. During that time, we swapped stories, including one where Kevin almost accidentally ran over deer with riding lawnmowers. He’s a really down to earth guy, a family man and a country boy.

Well, time to ride, let’s go to the motocross track.

We flew there, K-dub on the other hand just rode there, just rode there, and in Kevin Windham style, rode a wheelie nearly the whole way there. The motocross track is just a mile down the road, a little closer to his house.

For the first half I was taking aerial photography from the helicopter.

This jump to tabletop triple had to be 100+ feet long, and he would nearly go upside down, throwing sick whips and scrubbing speed in the process.

While I wanted to photograph Kevin, my main assignment was to get him and the helicopter in the same shot:

\

After the outdoor motocross shoot, we headed over to the supercross track. It was ‘dry enough’ to ride. We actually buzzed it with the helicopter to try to dry it up a little bit.

Overall it was a fantastic shoot.

Here is a pic of all of us and Kevin. That his daughter next to him. She was really nice. Actually went and got me a water. They made us feel welcome.

I just got my copy of Moto 3, and it’s pretty sick. Make sure to get your copy over at MotoX cinema.
Also, you’ll see many of these photos in a 2 page spread in the new RacerX magazine.

I did some photos for the UNT dance team back in 2008. Since then I’ve seen several of the girls go on to be Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, Mavs Dancers, FC Dallas dancers and Stars girls. Additionally a few of them contacted me in need of head shots.

I had one challengeing goal in mind. To take a different photo for each girl. We were able to get a lot of great shots. All that look unique to each other. I was really happy with the results.

We of course needed to get a few action shots:

All the photos were taken at the new University of North Texas Apogee stadium.

Here’s a cute team shot.

I had a good time with the North Texas Dancers.

This was one of the first trains, right when the rail line started operating. They now have a fancy new A train. This is the bridge over lake Lewisville, or lake Dallas as some call it.

There’s a video coming soon, so look out for it. I haven’t ridden the train yet, I hope to soon. I do have friends who commute daily on it though. Pretty nice!
