This summer has been filled with many projects for a variety of clients. The folks at AbbVie have been great to work with and I shot people in the studio for them for two different campaigns. I also did architectural and lifestyle images for The Whitman in Savannah along with tourism images of the area. There were projects for retailers and a few musicians for their upcoming CDs. And of course work on my next book project Twenty/Ninety-Five about all five of the Great Lakes.

In Georgia I was part of the team to shoot architectural and lifestyle images for The Whitman, a historic mansion across from Forsythe Park which has been meticulously renovated and is now a beautiful event space for corporate events, weddings, family gatherings and anything you can imagine. We had over 40 people on set the days for those shoots as art directors, and talent for the production. You can view some of those images on the Whitman website.

While in the Savannah area I also shot many images for use in tourism marketing and fine art prints. As this project was in conjunction with Jill Buckner we both explored the city. It is always interesting to shoot a city or area you don’t know because you must do some research into what is around and how to portray it in the best way. It is also a joy to explore a place for the first time and record your impressions of the place so others may want to enjoy it as well. We shot the old historic part by the river front to the new bridge across the river and a few shots of the shipping and harbor area. In addition we went to the ocean beaches and the Atlantic Coastal areas and of course went to the famous Wormsloe State Park and Bonaventure Cemetery.

There were a lot more projects we don’t have space to talk about now but will in the future.

But I have to say the highlight of the summer was my son’s wedding! He and Kelly married on the shores of Lake Michigan at Illinois Beach State Park on a beautiful summer’s day in July.

Enjoy,
