Welcome Get Shot By Tate!
Since you MUST know about me...... I'll talk about what kind of photographer I am. I'm the kid who hated traditional crap. I hated the concept of doing wedding photography. I wanted to do high fashion and naked people - and that WAS IT. Fast Forward to ten + years later....... I'm doing weddings, naked people (but it's always tasteful..... or at least I think it is) and I do SOME traditional stuff. I like to think my traditional stuff is twisted. Ok, it's not traditional. Call it what you want to call it, but I don't like the WORD - traditional. My wife does. She's twisted traditional. My work is my work. I don't like rules. It's hard for me to play by the rules when I'm doing photography. I think that's what keeps it so fun for me. I tell the parents of my senior shoots that I dislike cap and gown shots (was I supposed to do that?) but I still do them because I know they love those. ;-) I think you get the drift of what kind of photographer I am. I may think I'm way more radical than I am, but let me think I'm just ubercool and not traditional. Okay?

I'm starting up an art project with my obsession of the OLD SCHOOL action I've been using alot in my photos - using voluntary subjects. I had met Matt via a mutual friend of ours and I knew his bod was just SICK so it would look kick butt in this style of photos.

Here's a preview of part of the session we did today. It took us 30 minutes and I knew I got the results I wanted. He had just gotten a new gun so I told him to bring it to incorporate into the shoot. I love creating characters and just shooting the random - you can think up of what you'd put this "character" we created and make your own mini movie in your head.

For this project, I'm going to try to remember to snap a shot of me with each subject who participates in this one.
