Events have a schedule but people do not.  Part of what makes the difference between a seasoned event or media photographer and a newbie is their ability to calmly:

• Interact with guests and get meaningful shots.
  
• Be watchful of a shot list yet build one on the go.  Meaning think and create on their feet.  Then have the confidence to take the improvised shot.
• Proof, edit and deliver brand ready image assets beneficial to the client’s quick needs.  AKA social media or press delivery.

At Battle Cry, I make sure myself or my other kick ass band of photogs are prepared to the max and can react quickly to your event surroundings while remaining graceful.  See my photos below which were used for Chase's: social media platforms Instagram and Facebook, a review deck of the event and for future web site or Chase brand collateral. Shout out to Katie and Mike, team members of Chase who were instrumental in making those images happen.

It’s the New Year and we’re hungry for greater change.  So I’ve been on the hunt, searching, analyzing and collecting information on start-up environments across the nation and Europe.  I want new companies to assist.  But more than just building business, I’m looking for partners in crime.  People who match up with our growing vision.  Just like the companies we work with, Battle Cry is growing, absorbing and evolving as rapidly as our changing culture.  And I”m excited to find new people making the world a more genuine place.

So begins the outreach for new partnerships and reshaping old ones into something more challenging and exciting. 

CHARGE!!!

In order to take a portrait of someone you must connect with them somehow.  We're not talking head shots.  Portraits are intimate.  You must feel for your subject strongly in any direction in order to create an impactful image.  Musa Tariq is bat shit crazy.  The guy is respectably passionate and, just like I do, believes that continual evolution of the self is the only way to truly LIVE.  In other words stay curious and take risks or melt.   #respect
