Welcome To My New Photo Blog

Category: Personal

Hey guys it has been quite some time since I have blogged, but this time I am determined to keep up with it. Our team at Creative Volition did a great job at designing and developing this site – Ok, ok, its really just me and Anton, but it sounds better when were a team. Some of my inspiration came from Psdtuts, OverExposed and Amelia Lyon. All of them had such great ideas for developing a killer photo blog.

I wanted the site to be clean and forward, utilizing mostly black and white with some minor pinks to give it a little pop. The goal was to have the majority of color be within the photography itself. Since mostly every post will be comprised of photos, we thought this site would be a perfect opportunity to pull it off. It also integrates well with my Portfolio page which has an all black theme.

The purpose of the site is to showcase my photography work which comprises of anything from weddings, engagements, couples, families, children, travel and personal. Hopefully some of my work can inspire other photographers and help me to build more relationships within the photography industry. I also would like to eventually share ideas, tutorials, resources and make this site really helpful for upcoming inspiring photographers or for the dried out old guys. Sometimes when I blog, I feel like Creed from the office when he was typing into a word document, thinking it was his blog and no one in the world was listening. haha

I would consider my style to be candid photojournalism with an artistic and fresh approach to digital photography. I would really love to get more involved with high fashion luxury weddings, just because the work and attention to detail that is put into their weddings. Plus they tend to understand the value of creative and professional photography. At this point though, I will take what ever I can get. I would still consider myself new within the industry and I am hungry to get some dates nailed down.

My background has been with art and graphic design. Unlike most photographers who learn the fundamentals first, then lead into post production I have the unique order of learning the opposite way. It has actually served me pretty well with retouching photos, capturing unique angles, setting up proofs and prints, photoshop effects and web development.

So welcome to my new blog. This is going to fun. :)

  1. Hi Jonathan,
    I had a wonderful trip by going into your web site. I always knew you were artistic, but you have taken yourself into the field of photography which shows you really have a good eye for that field. I especially like the scenery on the beach with the little cottage in the background. I actually thought I wanted to paint that picture! I also liked the motor scooter picture in the Dominican Republic. I’m really proud of what you have accomplished over the years.
    Love,
    Grandma
