It pays to know a professional photographer.
I’ve talked about my coworker and friend Tony Richards before on the blog. He’s our department’s kick ass photographer.
It’s not often that I am the subject of Tony’s photo shoot. If I’m involved at all, I play the role of photographer’s assistant (i.e. the person Tony gets to boss around). Recently, I had the pleasure of participating in a shoot as the subject! The result was too fun not to share.
Enter the most BAD ASS picture you’ll ever see of me (or possibly another human being) in your life:
BAM!
OK, how cool is that!?! My whole team — we’re the creative department — recently just did a quirky photo shoot so we could have fun photos for our website. Of course, my prop was a hammer 🙂 That shouldn’t surprise anyone.
And if my badass picture wasn’t cool enough, I had to share these photos, too.
Chris (the guy I’m knocking out) and I were helping Tony set up for a boxing-themed shoot. I often step in as the “model” to help Tony get his lighting just right. Since we were both around, we put on the gloves and put on a pretty good show.
I won 🙂
Like I said, it pays to have an awesome photographer as your work buddy. Mad props (I know no one says that anymore) to Tony and his awesome photography skills. You are crazy not to peek at his website: http://tonyrichardsphoto.com/
Speaking of work, the magazine that Tony and I work on together came out earlier in the week 🙂 We took the lead on this issue, which was a crazy, stressful and awesome experience all at the same time. I am so happy that it is out and looking pretty!
Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekends. I plan to finally get outside and work on a few furniture projects. Woohoo!
