Atomic City Photography

In March I went to a shoot out called Click for Pets and we raised enough money to sponsor elderly dogs and cats at a local animal shelter.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't participate in group events like this and I rarely step outside of the pinup box.  However, this year I told myself that I was going to break out of the mold and start doing things that are not of my norm.   I had the honor of working with Izzy.  Not only is she a beautiful young lady, but she has something about her that just captives you and draws you in and you just have to shoot her.  I am very happy to have been able to have work with her and its been such an amazing journey so far with this girl.  I can't wait to shoot with her more in the future.   Plus, she has a cool mom!! She is one of the most creative people I know and she's always brainstorming for the next big idea for Izzy's shoots.  Often times you'll find her making crowns with beads, lugging wardro...

It's almost here!!   Nashville Boogie will be here before you know it and I can't wait!!  May 18th -21st, with an awesome pre-bowl party on the 17th!

This year I had so many ask if I was coming to VLV 20 and I finally broke down and scheduled a trip out there.  I still have some spots available for shoots!  Book your's today.  These are also coming with guaranteed publishing!!!

As I sit here at work,  yes I have a real job, I'm watching Facebook and all its glory.  Sometimes I wonder why people do the things they do then I realize its not always worth energy trying to figure it out.  😂   However, one thing that I see over and over again that kind of grinds my gears.  So this is the Atomic City Photography's version of "What Really Grinds My Gears" by Peter Griffin from Family Guy. What really grinds my gears is photographers who forget they are running a business.  Face it social media is what gets us noticed and our main means of communicating to the world "HERE I AM LOOK AT MY WORK I AM AWESOME!!!"  We all do it and that's how we promote ourselves and our work.  Its how we draw inspiration by seeing others and their images.  Social media can be a good thing, a great spring board and a great way to inspire others. What I have been seeing lately is too many folks who are photographers or any other type of bus...
