Photoshoot for EMC Insurance's Circuit magazine

Photoshoot for EMC Insurance's Circuit magazine

This month’s edition of EMC Insurance’s Circuit magazine features some of my photography. The cover designed by Holly Illg features my photo of the Shattered Silence sculpture. The table of contents page features my photo of one of Keith Haring’s sculptures in the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines, Iowa.

The feature story uses a photo of Lonnie Dafney taken by my coworker Steve McTee.

Here is an earlier test shot before it hit golden hour along with some of the sculpture shots I edited.

Travel Wall

My wife wanted a "travel wall" in our living room so I went through some old vacation photos and sepia'd them. They look pretty sweet when they are all lined up like that!

Here are a few highlights from my photoshoot with the Schultz family. We went to the Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Downtown Des Moines a couple weeks ago and I got some great family photos, portraits of Raina, and lightsaber battles that I edited.

Exorcism in Hobby Lobby

Exorcism in Hobby Lobby

My son got really bored in Hobby Lobby while my wife was shopping. She sent me a photo and I had to ask for the rest so I could make a GIF since it looked like an exorcism.

Capital Ford Ad Campaign

Capital Ford Ad Campaign

This is a campaign that I worked on with the GIADC Creative Campaign team. The creative was developed by me and Katie Dondale and led by Brian Tallman. I created the animated ads and Katie made the print ads. I had some fun recreating the style of the Ford tv commercials. View the interactive ad at this link.
