Wedding Services Video
Thanks for stopping by to view my new Blog. I'll be adding material from each weeks wedding to the blog, so please stop by again to see our new work. I put this little video, with the music selection, together to not only show samples of our work, but to also give you a little feel for the style and "focus" of our wedding shoots.
I hope that you enjoy the video. Please feel free to add a comment if you feel so moved.........

WOn my recent trip to Miami and the Keys I stopped for an afternoon of shooting in Miami's Little Havana. The main thing that I noticed there was the color.....bright, bold, dynamic. I made a bunch of images in basically one intersection, gathering in all the color. Take a look at the slide show of these images.
I have a technique that I use (and LOVE) that I call Picture Painting. It's a process where I take a photo and, using some unique software, turn it into a painting....of whatever type I want, such as an oil painting, a watercolor painting, anything. I've used this technique for some of my Gallery Shows and also for Weddings and Family Portraits. But it's my "fine art" work that I think gains the most from Picture Painting.
I just got back from a 10-day vacation in Florida....yes, I DID take the Harley to South Beach and the Keys again!! As I've done for several of the past Winters'. But while I was in South Beach I stayed in what was actually a Hotel and Hostel....very interesting time. I made a picture of it that I'll show below.........
I have a particular style of painting that I like to do......and I did this style to the shot of my Hotel in South Beach (The Clay Hotel) and I've put it below:
As I said, there are many uses for this image style and I'd be happy to talk with you about an image like this for you as well.
I recently had another model shoot, but this time in my South Philly studio.......alias my shared space with Mariano of 5th Stone Studios (www.fifthstonestudios.com) on South 18th Street.......with Beth and Charlene. Charlene works for Laraine at Main Line Models, a great Agency that I've been shooting for for a few years now. We did a couple of basic set-ups, with a white and then a black backdrop. But, even with these simple settings, we got some great shots. Take a look at this Video........
I had a very interesting photo shoot for my dear old friend Laraine at Main Line Models. They have an annual "Expo" where they bring in the top Booking Agents from Philadelphia (such as Mike Lemon) to talk with their people about the "state of the business" here in Philly. Then in the afternoon, we do a modeling seminar and photo shoot. .........97 models were shot in a 3-4 hour afternoon!! Talk about being tired. But here's a little slideshow of samples from the shoot. If you go to my "View Images" button at the top of the page, then click on "To View Weddings Click Here" (I haven't changed it to "Events" yet) and scroll down to the Main Line Expo shoot, you can see more of the work from the day.

Model Shoot - Mattison
Here's a sampling of images from a model shoot that I did recently. I shoot models for an Agency, Mainline Models and Talent in Media, PA. Here's their link:

The goal of a shoot like this is to build a portfolio of images, for both a models' Book as well as for, in this case, a Comp Card.
Enjoy the slideshow and images.
Welcome to my Blog and thanks for stopping by. The purpose of this Blog is to provide you with examples of my work on an ongoing basis......and to hear from you. I will be putting my wedding images on here, along with other work that I'll be doing: model or band shoots, commercial work and most importantly my ongoing photoessays. Please take a minute to add a post if you have any comments on the work .....as well as any insights and critiques. I welcome any comment and I'll be checking them and responding to them as best as I can.
