Over the Double Rainbow
A major storm rolled through Columbia, SC yesterday afternoon while we were editing images after an early morning assignment for an editorial client. Thankfully we only lost power for about 10 seconds, and had no other damage. After it was all over Brett saw this amazing double rainbow outside. He grabbed the Canon 5D MKII [...]

Four years ago Brett Flashnick was asked to photograph the first of many structural beams for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum as they rolled out of Owen Steel Company Inc., in Columbia, S.C. on September 10, 2007.

Published – U.S. Army Toughens Fitness Test
Yesterday afternoon, I was fortunate enough to be the only photographer for a civilian media outlet on hand for a closed demonstration of the U.S. Army’s newly revised fitness tests for soldiers. Back in the days of print, I would wake up and head to the news stand to get a copy of whatever publication [...]
It Keeps Snowing

Winter Fest Photography Mini-Workshop
One of the great things about digital photography is that the cameras have become so advanced they can do a lot of the work for us, but thats also a tremendous drawback, because we tend to be lazy and forget the basic fundamentals of taking a good photograph.
A White Christmas (almost)
Not sure when I would ever see snow around the holidays in Columbia ever again (even though it was minimal) I took my cameras out for a ride, and this is what I saw.
The Power List
I just found out that Command Sergeant Major Teresa King, who I spent a day photographing back in September of 2009, after she was named the first female commandant of the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant School, was named to Oprah’s “2010 O Power List”. Congrats to CSM King, who is an amazing person. It doesn’t [...]

Less than five days from now, on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, the exhibit will open to the public with a reception at [...]
The Creative Drain Continues
After reading the story The Day the Music Died in The State today, about how Richaland County just shut down all of the bands that practice at the Sumter Street Storage sheds, I really can’t help but wonder what can be done to help make this area more friendly to the creative community. The [...]
The Week in Pictures Oct. 30 – Nov. 6
As I checked my Facebook page before heading out for a 12 hour photo day on Saturday, I was a bit perplexed when I saw that friend and fellow shooter Chris Keane had left me a note for me to check out MSNBC’s The Week in Pictures for Oct. 30 – Nov. 6, 2008. Much to [...]

“Rockstar” Photographer…
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 [...]
Making it work: Behind the scenes of a ground remote…
I have received several emails from readers and people who have seen my shot from the 2008 Carolina Cup Races, that I posted a few weeks ago, so I decided that I amy going to demystify how you make a shot like this work, by using a remote camera. For those who don’t know, a [...]

More From the Trail
After a busy couple of weeks I finally have some time to sit down and update my website. I’ve added a gallery from my time on the 2008 presidential campaign trail. So far I’ve spent some time with five of the candidates vying for their party nomination. Photographing these events can be frustrating, and rewarding [...]
Waiving flags, kissing babies, and shaking hands…
Welcome to the 2008 Presidential Campaign Trail…. Just spent my first week on the 2008 Presidential Campaign Trail, I can’t believe I’m saying that and its only February of 2007… This trail is looking more like a marathon course. With 11 months to go until primaries the outcome could favor anyone. Every editor I have [...]
