Featured Photographer: Zach Sutton Photography

For some time now I have been playing with the idea of featuring fellow photographers, designers, models, clothing lines, etc on this blog. Today will be  the start of this idea.

Photographers use social networking sites out there such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc to get their work to the masses. This is how Zach Sutton and I become associated with one another. Twitter is an amazing way to meet photographers from all over the country and even the world. We can talk shop about current gear, editing styles, lighting, and just joke around.  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Zach over the last few months since we have followed each other on Twitter and I think he is a real humble guy who know’s his craft. He is based out of Western Michigan and his main focus is on specializing in fashion photography and music photography. See more samples of Zach’s work after the jump.

If you don’t know who Michelle Black is well she is an incredible photographer based out of Ohio who specializes in portrait and wedding photography. She also runs quite a few websites to help inspire and educate fellow photographers.

Behind The Scenes-Jayne Riot

About 4 or 5 months ago I found an amazing designer on Model Mayhem called Venomiss Designs and I really dug her stuff. A good friend of mine, Tiffany Ann, shot some of her clothing so that also intrigued me some more. So after a few messages sent back and forth between Venomiss and I she sent me an amazing dress. There was some set backs and I could never get around to shooting the dress due to conflicting schedules with Jayne and I. So finally today we shot Jayne in the dress. Brittanny Taylor was kind enough to take some behind the scene shots for Jayne and myself.

Sometimes I hang from fences to get the right shot. Read More »

Behind the Scenes-Miss Mischief

Recently I had the great opportunity to work with one of my favorite models and good friend Miss Mischief. She and I have worked before and have talked about collaborating on a number of up coming projects she has. She contacted me in early December about shooting her in some Mother of London clothing. Mother of London is out of this world alternative fashion. I thought to myself how could I not work with such a talented model and an amazing clothing designer?

I have never really shot in a studio and I don’t know much about lighting except working with natural lighting. So this opportunity was a huge one for myself and my work. I had to overcome my stubbornness with just working with natural lighting and embrace studio lighting. The experience was definitely educational and I learned a lot from the other photographers that were there as well.


Studio shot. By far the biggest umbrella I have ever seen. It was like 10 feet wide.
