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?

This is so rock and roll. Thanks to Jeff Roedel for doing such a great writeup on my life/career. Most of everything was accurate and I love how it's not a "pity" story which is the last thing I wanted. Yes, of course - me being Deaf is a huge part of who I am and I made sure it was included into my interview. The quote Jeff chose to be showcased says

"They didn't hire me for my hearing. They hired me for my eye."

That says it all.

Check it out! We looked for the latest issue on their online site but it all hasn't been uploaded yet but if it does, I'll be sure to link it for you guys to read in depth!

There are two photos they chose as well, one is of my buddy - the model/actor/personal trainer Jared Edwards in Los Angeles, along with one of my absolute favorite captures of my good friend who also acts, Shoshannah Stern. Ironically, the cover story is all about movies in Baton Rouge!

Thank you to Rose Ray, who has been nothing but a fantastic friend to me in the last few years that I've known her. She interpreted the interview between Jeff and I.

Again, thank you to all of you who have had utmost confidence in me - I am where I am today because of all of you, my clients!
