It’s the little things about Franklin that matter. For the past 3 years I’ve enjoyed working with Heritage Foundation of Williamson County to illustrate life around our county.

Everything Must Go

It started the normal way: an email from the contact form on my website. Then an initial business phone call.

And then over coffee: 💥 BOOM 💥

::Connection::

Bekah Joel is one of the most amazing people I’ve met in my life. Her heart is big and boundless. She smiles through everything. (Except when she tells you she wants to look serious for her Single’s cover art.)
And, the best part: she has the best crazy-mom-face. (Outtake photos to be published soon!)

But, like many of us, she wasn’t even planning it, but when she heard Him call her and give her purpose, she listened. Her new single Everything Must Go is her answer to that call and I couldn’t be prouder to have been a part in helping release this music to the world.

Follow the tag: then keep tapping until you get to Spotify and hear her testament.

RITES OF PASSAGE from !⠀
Please read below for my story of the process of making this image.⠀

These days, when a new album released, it's celebrated as the start of something new. But the reality is, that the work it took to bring it to this point of release has been long, trying and intense.⠀

Everyone involved — songwriters, composers, producers, managers, spouses, family, supporters, and, yes, photographers, — have been working on their part in the creation and inspiration of bringing the music to life.⠀

The twins and I originally shot the foundational portraits in March of last year, and it was nearly a 6 month process to get through the steps needed to finalize the final image: review and making selects, printing, ripping and tearing, and piecing it back together... photographing the structure as flat art, stripping out just the paper's edges, then digitally replacing the printed images with the right areas from the original portraits to restore the detail lost in printing...⠀

Then, in August, I was done. The twins loved it! And then there was the lull. While the twins continued their journey on their album, I didn't hear anything for months. I waited.⠀

And then, maybe two months ago, I saw Jordan at church and he was like "Dude! We figured out how to finish the album art." Turns out that when my super High Res and detailed image was condensed down for web display, the fine paper's edge line that separated their faces became lost. In the process of trying to create art that showed how different Tyler and Jordan were from each other, on final display, they perhaps looked too much like they were one.⠀

To solve the issue, their manager split and rearranged my "solo" image to now bring the twins each into their own side of the frame, and added the color graduations to make it pop. Frickin' genius.⠀

I leave you with this:⠀

"The justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity @ Franklin, Tennessee

I think it’s time to share what I do outside of the studio: Production Stills & BTS on Live TV & Music.

As an artist, sometimes it’s hard to join together two sides of your creative endeavors, but this one has to be seen by everyone.

A few months ago, a tribe of people came from all corners of the nation to Nashville to gather and Worship for the hosted by & !

Having one of those color or black and white conundrums.

When you’ve made a strong shot, you can process it a dozen different ways and they all look amazing, you know you have a winner.
