Kale Corbett – A True Player

Scott Greene Photography — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:35:34 +0000

” Hi, I am Kale Corbett. My parents are Tim and Brandy Corbett and I have a sister, Katy Rose. I am in the 4th grade at Jefferson Academy. I love to play football, basketball, and run track. One day, I began to feel so tired that I couldn’t even play during my football game. That isn’t like me so my mom and dad took me to the doctor. After lots of tests, they said I had leukemia. It is a rare type of ALL.” -Kale

Meet Kale Corbett… that is Kale’s story. I just recently met Kale this past Monday, I have always known his mom, his uncle and just most recently shot his aunt’s engagement session…. a great and very close nit family! A very competitive gene pool there and Kale has seemed to gained it honestly as he jumped right out of the car with a football in hand throwing hailmary passes to his sister Katy and diving on the ground to catch passes (momma wasn’t crazy about him getting dirty, but it was a good catch!). Kale has been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia… and has since under went a few chemo treatments, but I tell you what you would have never known it do to this guys spunk and good attitude! The GREAT news is they have a bone marrow donor and they were officially cleared for transplant! I have been keeping up with Kale here at his webpage. You can tell God is truly working in and around this little guys life and family. If you care to help Kale out in anyway you can start by stopping by his donations page. Kale we’ll photograph you again in a few months and you can show me how to throw one of those hailmary passes!

Here are a few shots of Kale and his family :

Below is Kale looking for a hawk…. love the concentration =)

Good Luck Kale…. we’re praying for you and your family and we’ll see you guys in a few short months…

No Rain Today :: { atlanta ga wedding photographer }

Scott Greene Photography — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:53:48 +0000

I got the privileged of shooting with AGW Photography this weekend in Atlanta. As always I love to side shoot and try to any chance I can when I have weekends off from my own booked weddings! This wedding actually extended my streak… my “rain free” streak… 56 weddings shot and not a rain out yet…. I should really use this as a selling feature…LOL. I really like the Atlanta venues as they add a slightly bit different look than most venues around my area. I met Courtney and Ben obviously the day of the wedding…. and what a really great couple and a good looking couple at that =). Here are just a few images from the big day as a side shooter… enjoy! :

Amanda and Kevin’s Big Day :: {north ga wedding photographer}

Scott Greene Photography — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:11:43 +0000

Meet the Chandlers…. the whole week was rainy leading in to February 4th. Even on the 4th, the day of the wedding, there was a 60% chance of rain. Fun Fact brides… out of 55 weddings… Scott Greene Photography has never had one to be rained out… had some close calls BUT no rain! This day (i thought my streak was going to end) proved no different… the rain stayed away and the sun even broke thru the clouds a few times! Not sure if you remember Amanda and Kevin, but they had the very cool Athens engagement session. This wedding was a true testimony of how powerful and emotional a First Look can be…. I was going to post a few pictures from it, but it was sooo special and sooo emotional that I am going to keep those for just Kevin and Amanda…. Without further delay here are a few sneak peeks from the Big Day…

Small Lights – Bling Results :: { commercial photographer athens ga }

Scott Greene Photography — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:09:27 +0000

I love to do small product shots from time to time… Well this past Thursday I had about $47,000 in jewelry in my possession to shoot for Arum Jeweler’s in downtown Athens…. I’ll cut right to it and explain the setup as I go….

Step 1:: My Base Setup

Step 2 :: Lighting arrangements, 1 with light tent… 1 without

Step 3: To place the rings. This scared me the first that I ever used this method, hot glue on a $28,000 ring is kind of unsettling. The key to this trick is do a drop of glue and set the ring in front of it and back it in to it… that way you don’t have glue at the base on the camera side to edit out =)

Step 4 :: Shooting and settings for every shot

Nikon D3s : 105 mm Macro : f32 : 1/160sec : ISO 200 | Main Flash (front) 1/4 power – Back Flash 1/16 power

I wanted the complete ring as sharp or as much of it in focus as i could… i was surprised, even shooting at f32 and 4″ away from the ring i still got a very shallow DOF… so i had to back up about 12-18″ to get most of the ring in focus

Step 5 :: Post production – consisted of knock the rings out of the background and cleaning up the edges. Here are 4 favorites out of the 16 that I turned in

Step 6 :: Since I saved it out as an EPS file with a clipping path… these can be placed on any color background and i even added a little shadow in Photoshop for fun…

FINALLY…. the ad/billboard that they are going on. May or may not look exactly like this, but these the best choices of layouts from a designers point of view =)

Awesome Shoot! :: {senior and fashion photographer}

Scott Greene Photography — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:59:34 +0000

I love November through March… I purposely take that time off from client sessions to get all geared up for the upcoming year and while doing that I like to schedule fun portfolio builder sessions in between. This past Sunday I had one of those cool sessions! Another photographer and I have been collaborating about getting together and helping each other out in our shooting, lighting and posing… I love shooting around with other photographers if I have the time. Me and Jon Ruby from Jon Ruby Photography had planned this shoot and luckily for us Jon’s model contact had canceled last minute and I was able to get Ms. Megan, a previous senior I shot from earlier this past summer, to fill the role. She knocked this session out of the park just like she did her first one (Megan’s Senior Session). So here are a few shots from this session and I hope to be shooting some future sessions with her ::

Scott Greene Photography — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:46:47 +0000

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a good New Year’s! It’s been awhile since I had a post ( i know i know… i’m a slacker =)….! Soooo my 2012 is off to a great start already…. I have already booked more weddings than I have in previous years and my side shooting gigs are plentiful as well… This wedding hear was the first one of the year to get the ice broken on 2012. I was a side shooter on this one with NRP Photography. It was a Catholic wedding which I always find interesting to shoot as we don’t see many of those here in the sticks…lol. The reception was at a really cool location “103 West“. After the wedding we toured around the block and shot a few city scene pictures…. here are a few from the day ::

What a great way to end a GREAT 2011 wedding season! This Trash the Dress Session was actually purchased in Andi’s initial wedding package (thats right… she aint skeered!).

These sessions are always fun and creative… plus Andi had been studying up on how work this session. Andi is a fun bubbly gal with a very contagious smile… well this session her evil twin came out and threw on us some attitude… it was a good juxtapose to the normal Andi =). So with out any further delay… check out some shots from the session ::
