I’m all about promotion, whether it is for me, for my clients or for any business with whom I h ave a professional relationship.  I recently teamed up with Juice Radio to give a lucky winner a free two-hour glamour session through www.M3afterhours.com, a free print, free book and free makeover.  We had a clothing designer sponsor the session by providing some of the wardrobe, a custom jewelry designer provide some of the accessories, and a professional video producer film and edit the event.  Of course, I was the photographer and photo editor for the event.

This was a really big deal and I’m anxious to see how everything turned out.  The winner, J’Zhanel Cole, was a fantastic winner and fell into the role of “model” exceptionally well.

This is one of many contests that will be taking place throughout the year and it is a fantastic opportunity for a business to build a relationship with new customers.  Sponsors will receive the rights to display and use the promotional video its in to attract new customers, show their products used in a professional photo shoot, be seen by all registrants along with links and ads, and more.  Contact M3 After Hours for more information.

Bob Moffa places 2nd, 3rd and 10th

Several months ago I joined my camera club to compete in the North Georgia Camera Club Council 2010 Shootout at beautiful Berry College.  The premise is that each of the twelve clubs photograph five subjects and submit ten photos in each category to the judges.  The Cherokee Photo Club, of which I’ve been a member for about five years, fielded about 40 people so we divided up  into five groups, each getting one category.

Now, this is my time to gloat.  Three of the ten images that my group submitted were mine and they placed 2nd, 3rd and 10th, raking up a ton of points for out group and ensuring a first place finish.  Even if I weren’t there we may have won because our talented group showed up all over the leader board.

It’s an honor to be a part of a wonderful photo club.  Not only are they talented, but they are a lot of fun to hang out with.

Don’t forget, my artwork is for sale so if interested, contact me.

I recently had the pleasure of working with model and clothing designer, Keisy Myumi.  She is the first to model for my upcoming line of Hawaiian shirts and while in the studio, we photographed some of her custom designed bikinis.

If you would like to see more of her collection, please contact me and I will put Keisy in contact with you.

M3 Imagery is not only a photography and graphic design studio but is also a gallery.  The walls are filled with photography and artwork created by me and a few select others.  I like to often go through my collection of photos and change the studio around. 

This week I worked on a painting of a photo I took in Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains.  I hope you like it and you can purchase it right here.

Old Cades Road Painting

I’m always looking for ways to make my work more interesting and appealing.  Since we create a lot of portraits on canvas, a painted look is something we offer.  No two digitally painted portraits ever look the same and there are many techniques I use to achieve these specialized looks.

Here are two versions of a beautiful bride that I photographed and then painted.  I’d love feedback as to which you like better:

When displayed on canvas in a big frame, a portrait like this becomes an heirloom that anyone would be proud to pass down from one generation to the next.
