A couple of photos that I took during work, that I feel that are  "in the moment" type of photographs... "Living the dream while rolling in a studio on wheels..."

click on photo to enlarge  After graduating from Virginia Intermont College, so far one of my many goals in life is to work for a photography company.  Since then, I have been very lucky and blessed to work with the greatest bunch of photographers that I could have ever hoped for. This is my 2nd family, the "Lifetouch" family. I have learn many new things while working with these guys, as well as at the same time applying my knowledge of photography that I learned in school. "I am living the dream while rolling in a studio on wheels..." - Brian Coryell (myself)  

WOW!!! It has been awhile since I have posted anything on my blog. However, as busy as I am with Lifetouch during the week, on the weekends I still  find time to do my own photo thing. Here are some images that I create about 2 weekends ago, photographing a wedding at The Founders Inn in Virginia Beach, Va.  I had the pleasure to photograph and work along side with my photo manger from lifetouch. It was a short notice thing but none the less it was an awesome day to photograph! Please enjoy!!!  

I found an old photo that I did in the studio last year. Probably one the best girls that ever modeled for me. I won't mention her name but you know who you are. The one thing that I find to be very eye catching, is the extreme shadow that falls down the middle of her head and shoulders. While looking through the shadows you see the tribal earring hanging her ear.  Another thing interests me about this photos is her look of wonder and innocents on her face. Enjoy!

This past week I was photographing over at Kempsville Middle School in Virginia Beach. This was one of my first schools were I start to photograph on my own without a trainer. It was very exciting and I did very well. I kept up at a steady pace. At Lifetouch we all work and photograph as a team. Together as a team we photographed over 1200 students. During our hourly sessions we had either finished on time or early enough to allow us to have a 10-15min break.  Not only do I photograph students for the year book, but I also do sports coverage work and other sports event photography such as team and individual player pictures. It's an awesome job. I love being a photographer and I wouldn't want to do anything else.

After a hard day of shooting oceanfront properties and interiors of beach houses for Sandbridge Reality. I went down to Knotts Island to try out a new restaurant. Now before I tell you the name of this "awesome place," I don't care where you are from but to me, the  best place to get thee best shrimp is in North Carolina!!! Being a native from Virginia Beach, I'm not afraid to admit that the best coconut shrimp and key lime pie is in Knotts Island at place called Bay Villia Marina.
