Now a project that proves the efficacy of creative, high quality photography.

Talented local designer, Tanya Smith, contacted me in need of some promotional photos for her graphic and card designing businesses.

As I was wrapping up the shoot she mentioned that the local paper was going to be doing a news story on her business the next day. I offered to edit and send in a few photos to the paper just in case they needed them for the story. The reporter said I should send them in but they probably wouldn’t use them (I was sure that this was to protect the paper against having to use all of the bad photos they get everyday).

Tanya was so excited the day the article finally ran. She sent me an email exclaiming,

“Thanks to your awesome photo they gave me a half page article. Woo Hoo! When they said they weren’t going to use a photo I was really disappointed because I rarely look at an article without a picture.”

I was excited too, because I never look at articles that run without a photo. You can read the article here.

The photos are fairly self-explanitory except for the last one. The concept is that Tanya will be able to take the blank page and utilize her whimsical sketching abilities and draw various versions of her “other half.” I took liberties with my own version shown here, but rest assured that hers will be blank and she won’t have to use my drawings.
