This Saturday I get to photograph Emily & Damion’s wedding in New Orleans. But last month I flew to NOLA for a chance to get to know this cool couple and shoot some engagement pictures. We had a blast exploring the city, pausing for food and drink several times. I’m looking forward to their wedding this weekend!

Featured here are images from my recent spring shoot with the Birmingham based, Harrison Limited. For those that missed it, Harrison was recently featured in GQ’s fashion issue as one of “the top 25 men’s shops worth traveling for”. If you live in Birmingham, be sure to drop by and let Wilson measure you for a New England Shirt Co shirt or some Hertling trousers.

I’m thrilled to have the above photo featured in the April issue of GQ magazine! The issue is their second annual Style Bible. Harrison Limited, a local men’s shop that I often shoot for, was included in their list of “25 men’s shops worth traveling for”. This of course is a huge honor for Harrison and I’m so happy for this much deserved superlative. If you look (closely) below, you will see how the image was used in the spread.

Thanks, GQ!

I had the privilege of photographing Callie & Reid at Callie’s Jackson Mississippi home this past fall. These two are so natural with each other and in front of a camera. I look forward to their wedding in Jackson this spring!

These images were captured with a Rolleiflex & a Leica M6.

I have always loved Annie Leibovitz’s photobook, Olympic Portraits. The book is a collection of images she captured of the US olympians leading up to the 1996 games in Atlanta. What’s most striking about her approach is that she chose to photograph all of the athletes in black and white. Most sports imagery is traditionally very straight forward and captured only in color. Annie’s black and white portraits, however, provided a grace and intrigue to these sports that is often lacking.

Leibovitz inspired me to approach the sports I photographed for Altamont in a similar fashion. While most of my images are more documentary than portrait, I’m very pleased with the intrigue created by the black and white medium.

Below are three spreads from Olympic Portraits, followed by my Altamont images.

All of my images were captured on a Rolleiflex.
