Gore Salon

Posted in Commercial Photography with tags , , , on February 1, 2010 by ricksmoak

Terri and Howard Gore have a brand new beautiful hair salon in Irmo. They recently moved from their old location in Murraywood Center to the new shop at 100 Hunter Village Rd. just off Broad River Rd. The salon has lots of window light and expensive daylight balanced lighting for seeing hair color, which made our lighting job much easier. They have a great staff, very friendly and lots of hair care products. So if you are looking for a new hair salon give them a call. My daughter has been going to Erica and I have been going to Howard for a couple of years.  You can find more info on Gore Salon at http://www.goresalon.com/home.htm and find them on facebook.

Our Family Portraits

Posted in Portrait photography with tags , , , on January 12, 2010 by ricksmoak

We started on updating our family portraits over the Christmas break until I came down with a nasty cold. We shot individual portraits of all three of us and then had my father in law stop by and take shots of the three of us together. I am happy with everything except with the shots of me. They don’t live up the the shots of my wife and daughter. Which is no surprise. So how about that, a reshoot because the photographer isn’t photogenic.

These may end up printed as b&w that is what I first had in mind. 3 individual shots and 1 shot of all of us displayed together.

Interior Lake house

A few days before Thanksgiving we shot the interior of a beautiful lake house for Kirkland interiors. Lousy weather outside so no exteriors but it gave us nice soft light thru the windows for the inside shots. We have more architecture shoots coming up soon.

Pearl Fryar Topiary Artist

Posted in Fine Art Photography with tags , , , , , , on October 21, 2009 by ricksmoak

You may have heard of Pearl Fryar but you just have to see his work in person to really appreciate his art. Located just outside of Bishopville, SC and only a few miles from I-20. His garden is like Alice in wonderland meets Edward scissor hands. Very fantastic and original. Pearls topiary work can be seen in down town Bishopville as well. But his garden is the best. http://www.pearlfryar.com/

Timberlake Golf Course

Posted in Commercial Photography with tags , , , , on October 8, 2009 by ricksmoak

Timberlake is the only golf course on lake Murray. On a beautiful morning like this one I was kinda torn between wanting to create photographs or play the course. Knowing I would score better with a camera than a wood or iron made the choice easier.
