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.
I was honored to receive a few awards at PPA regional print competition. The image of Logan Flood won first place in the non masters men's portrait. Last summer I photographed Logan and his family at their home in Seward, NE for AOPA Magazine. The story was about how he became a commercial pilot after being in an airplane crash with a cargo company he flew and instructed for.
My overall score with other works placed me at 2nd.
A few thank yous-
Kameron Bayne and Sarah Pfeiffer for pushing me to enter.
Kate Heller for all the magic post work.
Matt Larson for driving to UPS because I sent my prints to the wrong address.
Terry Winslow for connecting with Matt to get my prints in time for the deadline.
Check out some behind the scenes from a morning spent chill'n with the What Cheer crew. They had some great ideas for images and totally rocked the modeling! Geoff rocked on the 5d with some video! Props to Jon Jelkin on the graphics- schweetness! Kate Heller brough it all together! Go team!
This is how the Malone and Torchwerks crew warms up each morning to attack the day. Let us know if you want us to teach you some moves. We've been working hard on the choreography.
Have you found yourself staring at old photos of the city you call home? It's fun to see what was the corner of your favorite restaurant or recognize your old digs. Sometimes it's easy to forgot that the city is a living breathing thing and that taking photos today will provide the same nostalgia in years to come. Grab that camera and capture the moment for the memories for yourself or anyone that might stumble across your work of art...
Thanks to the Wonderful Skillz of Kate Heller for blending these images to create this panoramic of downtown Omaha. You're always up to the challenge- even when everything doesn't line up!
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!
Malcom Gladwell hit Omaha to talk to its young professionals and challenged all to frame their vision of this community and develop connections to make it a reality. Malone and Company got in the mix with the media. Geoff Johnson got some great shots of Malcom and Torchwerks rolled some footage while he did an interview with Jeff Slobotski of Silicon Priarie News. Interview coming soon- check back.
Last Thursday the studio was taken over by 19 dogs. Great job from the crew from Sergeant's, Tamar Geller and her team. The pup on the right is former Malone & Co crew member Stephanie's new Labradoodle.
You just might see some of the images in a pet store near you.
