Product Shooting Teaser

Posted By Thomas Wilson / December, 2, 2011 / 0 comments

I was tasked to knock out a few more product shots for some upcoming sneaker releases and before shooting I got the idea to add a little flare to my typical setup.  By heading out to Home Depot and picking up a sheet of plexiglass, the end result of these shots was exactly what I…

Wyld Money Press Kit Shoot

Posted By Thomas Wilson / November, 30, 2011 / 0 comments

Atlanta music artist Wyld Money of New Age Rock Stars Records contacted me about doing some themed photo sets for his press kit as well as online presence. His team had a few ideas they wanted to explore, and left the technicalities up to me. When working within a client’s parameters, sometimes things can get…

GWayne – Press Kit Shoot

Posted By Thomas Wilson / October, 15, 2011 / 0 comments

Made it up to DC and was booked to shoot some images for artist GWayne‘s press kit and website. The shoot took place in a very moody older home, which made lighting a fun task. I enjoyed spending time trying out some new things and it was a great session for getting some individual issues…

While i’m cleaning up my image library, I noticed I had quite a few images that were never posted anywhere after their uses (newspapers and so on), so here’s a bit of 2010 era goodness… The game took place in Piscataway, NJ at Rutgers Stadium.

Early NSFW Test Shooting: Trial and Error

Posted By Thomas Wilson / October, 14, 2011 / 0 comments

In prepping for the Vibe Vixen spread and working on Atlanta Got Sole’s #NSFW on-going series, there was obviously some practice time needed. I hadn’t done true portraiture in quite a while and was new to “glamour” if that’s what the label is currently, and I wanted to try out some new lighting & techniques…

Atlanta Falcons: Friday Night Lights

This post has been sitting dormant on my computer for quite a bit… Finally decided to go ahead and up it, so here goes: The Atlanta Falcons yearly scrimmage during training camp was altered a bit this season due to the lockout. Instead of going with a typical scrimmage, they used most of the available…

Short post.  Went out to Magic in Las Vegas last week and was rewarded with a GREAT time.  Here’s a few images from the trade show:  

Back To Basics: Product Shooting

Posted By Thomas Wilson / May, 3, 2011 / 0 comments

Since i’ve arrived in Atlanta, my skill set has been tested. I’ve grown as a graphic designer, honed my editing skills a bit more, and picked up a few videographer tricks along the way. Throughout these past months however, i’ve been neglecting my craft as a still photographer.  A very welcomed opportunity arose in my…

The folks at Atlanta Got Sole and the New Era Flagship store in Atlanta brought me in to shoot a few photos of the soon to be released Mishka cap and tee sets earlier this week. Shot with a 35mm f/1.4 with no exterior lighting, all ambient.

High School Basketball: Hampton v. Menchville (2011)

Posted By Thomas Wilson / January, 9, 2011 / 0 comments

Had to cover this game to get some content for the high school website build. I’m the webmaster for Hampton High School and needed to add some visuals to the athletics pages. This was my last chance to personally grab some images and video clips before heading off to Georgia. I have to admit, I…

Time Lapse Video: Dustin Farrell

Dustin Farrell created this awesome time-lapse video of landscapes using a Canon 5D Mark II and Adobe After Effects. It’s absolutely amazing what this camera can do in the right hands and with the right equipment / shooter. I’ll eventually try my hand at something like this, but i’ve got to get my money up…

Norfolk State vs FAMU (Homecoming 2010)

Posted By Thomas Wilson / November, 5, 2010 / 0 comments

This year’s Homecoming for the Norfolk State University Spartans marked the 75th anniversary of my alma mater. There was plenty of food, fun, drink and excitement to accompany such a huge milestone for what was once known as “Little State”, in reference to NSU’s beginnings as a subsidiary of Virginia State University. Norfolk played host…

Pageant Headshots

Posted By Thomas Wilson / September, 29, 2010 / 0 comments

This one is pretty self explanatory. I was asked to come out and take care of headshots for a pageant, so I looked around the location for something to add some depth to the images. I refused to shoot indoors because I had no desire in packing lights or a backdrop, so outdoors it was!…
