Tim Howard World Cup Soccer Champion
Tim Howard World Cup Soccer Champion - Memphis - Nike - 7up -Photography - Memphis - Nashville Our studio gets calls from across the US, and we've worked with agencies, magazines and companies from GQ to Walmart, to 7up and many more. One of our favorite shoots last year was for an agency in Phoenix Arizona, with offices in Hollywood. Alex Koffler films gave us a call to set up and coordinate a worldwide shoot in Memphis for World Cup Soccer Champion Tim Howard for one of his sponsors, 7up, Dr Pepper and Nike. Our role was to handle video production, and acquire the studio, lighting and facilities for the shoot. Behind the scenes we worked with the production group to produce the video for the tv commercials, and set the stage for the stills shoot for photographer Warwick Saint. The shoot lasted all day, with over 1000 still photos taken of Tim Howard in action, kicking and catching a soccer ball, and leaping through the air for the action shots that Warwick needed for the promotional stills. In the afternoon my production crew set lights, camera and sound and we shot over a dozen tv spots that would be edited and distributed around the globe. Our company has facilitated shoots like these many times, and we feel like the welcoming committee for Memphis. Memphis has a huge draw for its music reputation, and every celebrity and crew that we work with loves the feel and flavor that Memphis has to offer their productions. Here's one of the stills that I captured from the video of Tim in between takes. He was great to work with, and behind the scenes he was a perfect gentleman even with his world renown accolades.

Fine Art Photography - Memphis Photo Artist - Actress Emma Watson Qualities
Here's a few images from our recent session with Lillie. She came in for headshots for her acting & film portfolio, but I took a few images and added some texture to give the images a contemporary fine art style. I'm a big fan of Brooke Shaden, and she was kind enough to share some of her textures from a recent trip to India. The thing that struck me the most about Lillie is her resemblance to "Harry Potter" film actress Emma Watson.
