Troy Boy

Ball of energy, that’s my oldest son, Troy. He came to us on September eleventh, six weeks earlier then the actual due date and spent three long weeks in the NICU after he was born. Now you would never know that this two-year was premature. He gets his outgoing enthusiastic personality from his mother. Though, he seems to take interest in photography, at least I like to think so. This image was taken during a shoot I did with him, I would like to say I posed him but it was just whatever I could do to get him to stay still. However, I did pick the wardrobe, the shirt and suspenders give classiness to Troy while the jeans show he still is a little boy. Lighting was done with a SB-800 flash, camera right, being fired in to a silver reflecting 24 inch umbrella with a fill card on the camera left. Lens was a Nikkor 50mm 1.8.

Who is this Guy?

To describe my self in a short paragraph is a simple task, just by listing my attributes and titles, one can get an overview of who I am. However, if I am to describe who I truly I am. Well, that would take a lifetime as with any person. On the contrary, for the purpose of this post I will keep it short and concise.

Two little boys call me “dad” (well one of them does, the other can’t speak yet) and a beautiful woman calls me “husband.” I love my family of four they mean the world to me and I wouldn’t trade the world or anything for them. Though, for the purpose of this blog and the part that matters to you is that I am a photography student and at the greatest photography school in North Carolina, Randolph Community College. Expected to graduate in 2018 with a Associates in Applied Sciences (AAS.) I am majoring in photojournalism and love to do visual story telling. I plan on going in to humanitarian work showing the ones that need help while showcasing the ones at the forefront. In conclusion, this is who I am, in a “nutshell,” in this blog I hope you can get to know me in addition to the stories behind my photographs.
