Photogen Inc Music Video // Immabe from capture studios on Vimeo.


WE MADE A MUSIC VIDEO!!!!!

Jeffrey and I had an idea in our head for QUITE some time now about making a music video to Imma Be by the Black Eyed Peas! The lyrics to this song are SO perfect for the photo industry, and also our personal goals for the future!

We're the shit baby, check us out.

I must say, we've got some swagger!

An ENORMOUS THANK YOU to the brilliantly cool Matt & Ty of Capture Studios for filming & producing the video for us!

LOVEe

(P.s...All new blog posts will be below this awesome piece of A.R.T for a while!:0)

E, This just made my day! Great job! Although I was just an 'extra', I couldn't help but notice how my dancing really helped sell that final scene. ;)

James says:

Ok, so your wanting to be professional photographers, tell me, would you be mad when someone steals your pictures for their own use.
I ask because you seem to have no problem stealing from a popular band.
Don't worry, I work with them daily, I will go ahead and let them know, I sure they will have no problem with you stealing from them.

There has been SO much happening lately! Team Photogen Inc has been on the road a lot and all along the way, we've shot TONS of film! I'll share more of that with you when the film rolls come in, but for now, here are a bunch of fun images from our Instax camera!

The instax camera is like crack for me! It's been a really awesome tool for me to document my life this past year.....I have a bit of a personal project going on with it, which will simply need some time to shape.

In this post, some awesome people make appearances:

Tara LaTour's amazing dresses
The OH-SO-AWESOME Sara Montour
Mr. Daniel Chin
 Insta-Friend Dan Miles, who inspires me now on a daily basis
B-Funk
Melissa O!
The Cornjadi's and their epic wedding - congratulations you two!
The Traveling Photo Booth's awesome booth

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Brandyn and Mario are an amazing couple! I've known them for years now, but we all got much closer during this whole wedding planning process. Needless to say, I was super stoked when the big day finally arrived!

This couple's ceremony took place in the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie Theater, which is where the couple first met! It was hands down, the most emotional ceremony I've ever seen! The tears were flowing, but they were absolutely tears of pure joy. Brandyn and Mario have a love that is Giving, Real and as Passionate as they come.

This wedding was a true celebration of Life, Family and Friends! Without further adieu...

Ceremony:  Guthrie Theater
Reception: Bar Lurcat
Dress: Joynoelle
Shoes: Chanel
His Ring: Studio Vincent

I am soooooo excited to share these images with you! Like, little kid-jumping-up-and-down excited!

A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a girl named Tara. In that letter, she asked me to photograph her final Collection for her graduate program at Parsons (yes, like project runway Parsons...only real students are even more bad-ass!) The hitch was that she was in NYC, I was in MPLS and her deadline was in a week and a half. She sent me a link with some cell-phone-shots of her dresses and my jaw dropped. I knew that I needed to do absolutely everything I could to photograph this amazing pieces of art! The universe came together for us and it just so happened I was going to be in NYC that coming weekend, so we started planning our last-minute shoot!

The best part about my job is this sense of collaboration I get from working with other artists. It's amazing to just create with other amazing people who also have a vision. Tara really gave me free reign at the shoot and everything just simply fell into place! Before the day was done, I knew I wanted these images to be shared with the world and be published . 1) I wanted people to find/know/experience Tara and her beautiful collection. 2) I think these images are fucking amazing and I am way too excited about the whole project to NOT share this with you!

Through our conversations, I really began to respect Tara even more. She is on a mission to 'Revolutionize' the wedding industry and I absolutely believe she will do this!

A special THANK YOU to the Wedding Chicks for publishing this spread on their blog and sharing this with the world! Check out their review + Post HERE! (And we would love to hear your comments on the spread + designs overall!)
