Simply Lemonade

I am embarking on a quest to add some more advertising style shots to my portfolio.
Most of the images currently in my book are of people. People are my favorite subject matter to shoot, but they are only one aspect of what I photograph.

In an attempt to diversify, I made a list of shots that I am going to be attempting. Product shots, food shots, landscapes, architectural shots, things of that nature.
To kick things off, I spent a few hours creating this shot:


It took several hours of testing and experimenting with light and positioning before I got it the way I liked it. But it was all worth it.

Let me just add a note here for those of you who are amateur photographers. This shot cost me a total of $10. Don't think that because you don't have the funds that an ad agency has that you can't create some cool concepts and some great sample images. It just takes some creative thinking.

I'll post some more about this photo soon, along with some behind-the-scenes shots.
Hope all is well with you, my friends!

21st Century Advertising Agencies

I am trying to pick up new clients and at the top of my list of people to get in touch with in this quest are advertising/marketing agencies in the DFW area. Seems logical.

I got a list of companies, then got phone numbers for all of them. Then I thought, I will look them up on twitter and follow whoever I can, so that they will have heard of the name "Radiant Squares" before I call them.

Would you believe that out of the 12 companies on my initial list, only TWO are on twitter?! I thought a marketing company would want to be cutting edge and be all about the social media wave in marketing. I was quite shocked by this discovery.

As a side note - if you are on twitter, follow me: @RadiantSquares
