The summer before I enrolled in photography school, I was glued to the Weather Channel. Whenever they forecast lightning, I grabbed my gear and headed to a particular parking garage in downtown Atlanta. Over the course of that summer, I shot nearly 100 rolls of film, trying to get that perfect shot of lightning against the sky. I wanted that skyline shot so bad.
After many, many hours, I got that shot. School taught me the technicalities of photojournalism, architecture, portraiture and commercial photography. But it didn’t teach me passion.
I am incredibly lucky that I get to go to work every day doing what I love. For nearly a decade I worked as a staff photographer for The Augusta Chronicle, shooting assignments ranging from sports to breaking news. Now, I work for people just like you. Whether it’s telling the story of your wedding, or capturing every brick in an architectural shoot, my focus is on the details—the particular moment that makes a photo great.
