TWO National Publications, ONE Month!

This month I was featured in two completely different photography trade publications.  I feel it an honor to be featured in just one or the other, but I think that it’s really cool to be in both in the same month.

Some time ago I was interviewed by a writer for WPPI, and the article finally came out as this month’s “WPPI Photography Monthly.”  The second article was an interview that I gave to LexJet’s “In Focus.

I know that my clients don’t get these magazines or have the ability to read them, but at the very least it should make you feel proud of the work I’ve done for you in the past as well as confident of the work I will do for you in the future.

It means a lot to artists to be recognized by industry leaders on a national level and it should mean a lot to you too as my clients, to know that your artist is a leader in the industry.

Next month in November, I’ll also be featured in the PPA’s “Professional Photographer” magazine — the biggest photography trade magazine in the country!  I’ll have more on that when it comes out next month.

Well, until next time, America!

Christmas CD Design Project

This last week, one of my coolest jobs was for my good friend, James Conlee.  If you don’t know him, he used to sing on Broadway and now sings and produces many music CDs.  In fact, I think this is the 9th CD I’ve designed for him.

This project was another Wasatch Christmas CD featuring James, my friend Ryan Shupe, and many other local artists.

I feel very honored to have been able to use an incredible painting in the design.  It was painted by another one of our friends also named James….James Christensen.  The painting is called Evening Angels and is absolutely gorgeous.  To check on availability on this and other of his images, check out GreenwichWorkshop.com.

This is the painting above.  I adapted this painting for the CD design with the artist’s permission, however I won’t post the finished design or cover right now.  I’ll let it be a surprise.  I am very excited about the results and know that you will love it!

As a special gift to my Christmas clients, I will have some copies of this album to give you with your orders.

In conjunction with the CD, James Conlee will be producing his Wasatch Christmas concert this year as well.  More info about the concert will be on the radio and I’ll post info on it too, when I get it.

Until next time, America!

LeAnn Rimes

I was hired to photograph LeAnne Rimes last night, both backstage before her concert as well as the concert itself.  What a fun event!  Here are some of the images from the show!

I was reminded that I’d seen her perform before a few years ago when she came to Utah and my friend Ryan Shupe opened for her.  That was at the Delta Center which doesn’t have great acoustics.

Last night she performed at Abravanel Hall which is a superb location for both its ambiance as well as the great acoustics of the building.  LeAnn did an absolutely spectacular job. She really blew the house away.

For her last encore number, she sang ‘Amazing Grace’ a cappella, and at full voice.  Everyone jumped to their feet at the end.  It was quite a night.

Well, until next time, America!
