Below you can watch both the actual music video and the behind the scenes version. I had the chance to film and record a "Live Performance Music Video." Filmed everything in one take using 5 cameras. Enjoy!
Show #3 of our Isolation Concert Series. This week we talk with Luke Schroyer from Greene County PA. A talented musician as well as a mentor to many of the young talented people in our community. Right before the world started locking down I was fortunate enough to get invited on a backpacking trip with some great guys from Kentucky to the Red River Gorge. Here is a quick video of that trip. I'm continuing a personal project of interviewing local artists who no longer have gigs and concerts to play. This week Steve Barrett and I virtually sat down with Adam Joad from Scattered Hamlet. Check it out: What do you do when you're not allowed to do anything? No idea. So we started an "Isolation Concert Series" with some of my musician friends. First up, Drew Johnson. This is a project that we did for the Greene County Historical Society. We took a bunch of old photos and recreated them. Then we mixed them all together for one pretty cool presentation. Enjoy! This was one of our crazier backpacking trips we have had at Dolly Sods WV. Two lost day hikers found themselves 9 miles from their car with no food, water or shelter and the sun had already went down. Luckily they found our camp and we had plenty of supplies to get through the night. Enjoy the video.
For this video we head to Otter Creek WV for another backpacking trip. Tagging along is a 15 year old camera I use to use in 2005. An Olympus Evolt E300 an crappy 8mp camera. But in its time was a pretty sweet camera. Can it still hold its own on the trail in 2019? Lets find out.
In this video I head out solo to one of my favorite backpacking places, Dolly Sods WV. Instead of taking a full frame camera this time I save some weight by taking a crop sensor apsc Pentax KP.
Follow along on a real high school senior portrait session including some dramatic sports images!
Real Live Wedding! Follow along as we film this video from the perspective of a 2nd shooter at a wedding. BTS video showing each part of the wedding day as a 16 year professional wedding photographer steps into the role of a 2nd shooter to you everything you need to know to get through a wedding day.
Besides the whole getting up early thing I love Sunrise Landscape photos. To capture a great sunrise you need to plan your shot before you ever leave your house. Here are 8 tips for better Sunrise Landscape photos. Watch the video below...
The backlit shot is one of my favorites at weddings. Check out this 6 minute video on how we do it...
Enlow Fork is blooming in late April with small flowers along the trail. One of Greene County's hidden hiking gems. Check out the video below as I hike in the rain and attempt to take some photos..
My first ever BIKEpacking trip into the mountains of West Virginia. Watch the video below as well as some links to the gear I took with me.
Winter backpacking and photography were meant to be together. Follow me as a spend 3 days hiking/backpacking the Red Creek Trail in Dolly Sods, WV. My last winter backpacking trip of the season.
Why in the world would anyone backpack and camp alone in the middle of winter? Well? I asked all my friends and they said no. So, I went anyway.
By no means am I a professional landscape photographer. But, I'm trying! This morning I saw the forecast for some fog and I knew just the location I wanted to capture. The PA State Game Lands in Greene County.
Had a few hours to drive around Greene County looking for something to capture. I stopped in Rices Landing to pick up a few shots I've been wanting to add to my collection. Enjoy!
There are a few places that I love visiting several times a year. Ohiopyle, PA is one of those places. My favorite seasons to visit are Fall & Winter. On this day the temperature reached -4 degrees! So I bundled up, packed up my gear and did my best not to freeze to death. Enjoy!
Nineteen years ago when I started down my path into photography one of my favorite places to go was Coopers Rock, WV. I have been waiting for a snowy day to capture a few Ideas I had. So I packed up my gear and prepared for the elements.
Baby it's cold outside! But never too cold to find something to photograph here in Greene County PA. Today's subject is one of my favorites, water. I have always been fascinated with capturing moving water. So I grabbed my camera and hit up an old creek that I walked many times as a kid near Crucible, PA. Only found a few photos that I really liked from today's hike but that's ok. Going out on days like today are more about slowing down and enjoying the experience.
