* “Rockstar” Photographer…

Posted on August 5th, 2008 by Brett. Filed under Press and PR, Reciprocity.


It has been a busy couple of weeks.  I just finished up with some player portraits from Media Day at the University of South Carolina’s, Williams-Brice Stadium on Sunday afternoon.  It felt like it was 120 degrees on the field, and I was soaking wet by the end of it, but all of the players took my requests in stride, and I had a great time with it, and had the opportunity to make some nice images of some great student athletes.  I was caught in the act of shooting the portraits of new starting quarterback, Tommy Beecher, by friend and shooter, Drew Stewart of local NBC affiliate WIS-TV in Columbia, S.C., and according to his package from last nights newscast, I’m helping to contribute to quarterback, Tommy Beecher’s “Rockstar” status.  

Thanks Drew, Hope you are doing well in your quest to kick Brain Cancer’s Butt.
 
On a final note, here is the finished image, which Drew filmed me making during the chaos that was media day.  For the few seconds I had to work with Tommy he was a great sport, and did exactly as I asked. Its really great to see someone with a great outlook, and mindset like Tommy, in a position like this. I’d like to say a special thank you to the sports information department at South Carolina, and to my my lighting assistant for the day Jeremy (this was his first time helping out, and I really put him through his paces).  I don’t think I could have done it with out everyones help.
