Live Events – Northwest Christian Church

Every now and then I get the opportunity to document a live event….I have always loved the challenge that it brings to me….Northwest Christian Church contacted me about helping them document their Sunday services…..They are in the process of developing a new website and wanted a fresh new look…..That’s were I came in…..We chatted via email and over the phone about a few concepts then I attended their weekend service and documented all the wonderful things God is doing in their midst…..

Here are a few of my personal favorites from the shoot a few months ago……

A little motion trick :)

Josh Garcia–Unleash 2009 Lighting Design

Man 2 blogs in 2 days Wow I am rolling them out.  :) I feel like the last couple of weeks for me I have captured more moments with my camera than ever before.  Someone asked me the other day to take some photos of a B-day party and I said no. I know I am mean but I was also burnt out on hearing the shutter close and release.  Am I the only photog to get that way?  I would like to think no!!  

Anyways If you know me very well you know that I love shooting but I really love shooting in the perfect light!!!!  Every photographer wishes they could have the perfect lighting all the time.  Well Josh Garcia knows how to pull that off.  A few weeks ago I traveled to Anderson SC to attend a conference geared to churches and their volunteer leaders.  I had a blast hanging out at Unleash 2009.  I had the privilege also to meet Josh Garcia.  Josh just went on staff at Newspring Church in Anderson as their lighting genius.  He really knows how to create some really cool environments by utilizing some very sophisticated lighting.  He asked me to capture a few shots for him!  Well I actually captured like 400 and you get to view 6 of them.  If you are in the need of a really skilled lighting guy Josh is the man.
