Basket Cam on The Coconut Coast of Kauai

The coast of Kauai is a good a spot as any to hook up the 5D Mark II to the basket of a tandem bicycle.

Cinema Style

Twice in the last month I've been asked to shoot images which could be used as headers for web pages. Sometimes the ratios can be extreme as with these photos Alex and I shot last week. It's fun to figure out the play of foreground and background with such a cinematic crop.

Foto Flo Workshop 2.0

XMP, DNG, Presets, and Catalogs. AHHH. The crew of Malone & Co had their 2nd Lightroom Workshop last Sunday.

Pictured are Mike Malone, Chris Rich, Kerri Garrison, Julie Morris, Kameron Bayne, Geoff Johnson, Megan Nosbish, Ann Luchsinger, Sarah Pfeiffer, and Andrew Marinkovich. Also, not in the photo but attended is Cara Bresette-Yates, and the Torchwerkers.

It was great having everyone out. Don't forget to save your work!

Countertop Blender

Kate Heller and Mike Malone created these blended scenes for VT Industries in Iowa. Mike shot the countertops and Kate added the post magic. Check out the before and after in Kate's gallery.

This is 3 Days in The City

Images from Mike, Geoff and Andrews recent trip to NYC for the PhotoExpo.

Saturday Night- Live From NYC

Another full day in NYC and we found alot more cool stuff that we would like to add to our arsanal. Our wish list is growing! We hit a couple good workshops that provided some new bits of info and reinforced that we are on the same page with alot of the industry leaders. Between new lighting and discovering cool new backend software - the best experience was getting our hands on the new Mark II 5d- look for some exciting new possibilities in the near future!

Huge shot out to Peter and Stephanie for letting us crash at their place! It worked out great-THANKS!

Andrew & Adrianne

Last weekend the studio aka the "media" captured tons of images from Andrew and Adrianne's wedding. Check out the gallery with a few favorites.

Dodge St- Elevated

Mike Malone and Andrew Marinkovich spent some time up in a boom capturing the view from above- around 80th and Dodge St. The final stitched images are being used on the 80 Dodge site to help sell the residential units. Good view- if you can handle the elevation.

Mixing (mostly) Pleasure and (some) Business in Kauai

I've put together a fairly random gallery of images from our annual decompression trip the island of Kauai. This year we spent a few days shooting for Mad Gringo so our knowledge of the island was a big help in finding some nice locations. It's our ninth trip to Kauai and each year I seem to shoot more images. Enjoy! Click here to view the gallery.

ONE Magazine

For the past 6 months the photographers here at Malone & Company have all shot for ONE Magazine. Last month's issue was one that Geoff Johnson and Mike Malone shot of Architect Tom Allisma. Tom's worked on Roja, Blue, and Bianco. We shot the cover story at the new Parliament Pub in Legacy.

Kauai Fisherman

No, this photo wasn't taken in the 1800's. But with a little help in post it sure looks like it could have been shot in another era. While on our annual trip to Kauai I spotted a fisherman working from the rocks. The image you see is pretty close to what was dancing in my head as I fumbled to set up my tripod and camera. I was only able to get 10 or so frames before he climbed into his Toyota and was on his way.

Insider's note-this image is also posted to our photo log on Posterous. A nifty and super easy-to-use blogging site. We've challenged ourselves to put at least one image up every day.

In Deep at St Mary's University

This week we've matched up some fine behind the scenes images of Mike working with more photography for our friends at Saint Mary's University. The pics of Mike working are courtesy of Lora Davis, Malone & Co.'s go-to freelance assistant, who had her iPhone firing all three days of the shoot. Thanks to Lora for sharing her work.

Dance in Black and Blue

As I inch closer to my 25th year as a photographer I still wake up each morning of a shoot antsy with anticipation for the day ahead. I'm excited to get another day of using my camera to see into other places and lives.
A few weeks ago while shooting up Winona, Minnesota for my good friends at Saint Mary's University I had to the opportunity to shoot a dance class. Click here to see a slideshow of the images.

Mike and Geoff in Wine Country

Geoff, his wonderful wife Anne along with Patty and I enjoyed some stellar food and fine wine last weekend. Needless to say we brought the cameras along and took a few photos. Click the link below to see the gallery with Mike & Geoff's images.

Malone & Co's work for Arbor Links

Late last summer Mike shot a library of images for Arbor Links Golf Club. The new work was part of the clubs move to a private club with a resort component. Mike worked alongside Ben Drickey and our sister company Torchwerks to create both moving and still content for the Arnold Palmer signature course. The images, both moving and still, are live on clubs new site.

Alegent Health Taps Malone & Co Magic

Alegent Health and Bozell asked Mike Malone to come along with the Bozell crew to LA last fall to shoot the portraits that go along with the new TV commercials and print campaign. The campaign features Alegent CEO Wayne Sensor as the tour guide for services provided at Alegent Health. Each of the final ads featured a group photo as one image. Our own digital diva Kate Heller created the final composite from the multiple images Mike shot of each person and set.

Lightroom Workshop [Fotoflo]

This past weekend photographers Mike Malone, Geoff Johnson and Andrew Marinkovich hosted a workshop on how we flow here. We call it Fotoflo. Many thanks to all that attended-Shane and Erin Melenbacker, Lara Adkins, Megan Nosbish, Stacie Kinney, Ann Luchsinger, and OPS high school student Marty Lastovica.

Double thanks to our assistant Sam Carter who kept us on track throughout the day.

Sam The Trendsetter

In a never ending Malone and Company quest to multi-task Sam Carter attempts to create a new trend in headgear while lugging around the gear on shoot. We're not sure if the hat will catch on but we sure appreciate her keeping things light and fun on the set.
