Beast Stuff is an upstart company that not only sells clothes, they sell a state of mind. I’d classify the clothing line as ‘Outdoor Active’, but the brand is all about mental focus on achieving one’s goals in life. The idea is abstract, and the brand serves as a reminder to keep challenging yourself every day. On top of all of that, the clothes look and feel great. I had the opportunity to shoot a lot of Beast’s stand alone product for advertising purposes on their website. I also got the chance to organize some live model shoots for the brand and test my creative directive. Here is a shot with Sports Model Elizabeth Sturgis during one of the Beast photo shoots. She was awesome, and a her experience was a huge help for me as a rookie director. This company is just getting up and running, so check them out at http://www.beaststuff.com/ for their product line and other info.

I met the guys at Local Loaf right before their Grand Opening. Fortunately for me, they had a ton of photographic work that needed to be done, and hadn’t hired a photographer. In the past 3 months I had the opportunity to shoot their Grand Opening, Father’s Day and 4th of July Advertisements, Catering Pamphlets, and will soon photograph their entire menu (once it’s finalized). I’ve added some of my best work to my portfolio working with The Local Loaf on some of these projects. Definitely a mutually beneficial experience. This is still my favorite shot from my work with them. Hungry just looking at it. Be sure to check out the food at the Local Loaf for Breakfast and Lunch all week (especially the incredible brunch on Sat-Sun). Check out their website http://localloafcharlotte.com/ (Yes, that cover photo is one of mine) and their […] Read More
