David's world

David Higgins is an incredible man who has done many things in his long life, but recently he's been building an entire town worth of buildings in intricate detail.  It was the subject of an article by Pulse Magazine.

Shooting a movie

I worked (for free) for a number of days on a no-budget local Christian movie called "A Letter for Joe".  Dan and I lit and shot quite a few of the scenes and got a Cinematographer credit.  It hasn't been released yet, but the version I saw looked pretty good--all things considered.  De Miller did a great job of directing and Dan and I both learned a lot.  Here's the trailer:




Here are some behind the scenes photos.  That's my lighting rig.

Syngenta

Syngenta is a company that finds cures for agricultural pests and diseases.  We got a lot of photos accomplished in one very long day in their Vero Beach headquarters.  The photos were used in their in-house magazine called Thrive.

Here's is one of the photos they used...

Party photos

I really try not to get talked into doing party photos, but sometimes it's for a client that you really like.  If you have to do them, here's the way to shoot it:  you have an assistant who can hold a soft strobe light away from the camera.  In this case, I had Mike stand in strategic places that would make the subjects look their best.  University of Central Florida art school.

Here the light is off to the left.

 

 

Yes, those are butts.  On the wall:)

 

 

Government Tech Magazine

Who knew there was a Government Technology Magazine?
I got the call to photograph two senior City of Orlando officials in City Hall and came up with a lot of variations that made the client very happy.  Here are a few.

Here's what it looked like when we walked in.

Windhorse Video

I just realized I never posted the video I shot for the Windhorse Center in Eustis, FL.
They are a center for healthy food, organic farmer's market, yoga classes, massage and all kinds of groovy stuff.

Lakeside Inn video, Mount Dora, FL

Here's a video we shot for the 130 year old Lakeside Inn in Mount Dora.  They wrote the copy and supplied a lot of the still photos. 



I shot photos at the same time for their website.  Here are a few.

 These are my next door neighbors, Lee and Lynn

Dan and I doing the dirty work--that's me in the pool.

Float Plane in Mount Dora, FL at the Lakeside Inn

Small planes are a lot of fun, but float planes are the best around here.  We're not called Lake County for nothing.  As soon as you're up in the air, the ground seems filled with a Swiss cheese of water everywhere.  Rides are available at the Lakeside Inn during the winter for as little as $50.

Seminole State College

Seminole State needed a lot of students and faculty photographed on white for their marketing department, so I set up a studio in an empty classroom and they just kept coming all day.  Coaxing expressions out was an interesting project, but I think everyone had a good time.
