More about Jim M....

What do you love about your job?

I love lighting challenges and the beauty of a simple, strong photograph.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I photographed an amazing bed and breakfast that had a number of rooms in three separate classic old homes, each with it's own style and theme. I started with the natural light them added light to open up the shadows but maintain the character of each room. I also did a motion study of a tympanist capturing the flair and motion of the mallets. In an oil field I used a long lens and studio lighting that I triggered by radio, stacking the image of a horse-head pump against a sunset.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I have won several Addy Awards, University Publication Award and a National Agricultural Advertising Award.

A fun fact about this photographer

I was a drummer in a hard rock and blues band from 1967 through 1971. We opened for a few major bands including Jimi Hendrix.
