More about Nathan T....
What do you love about your job?
I love the unique intersection of art, science and technology that exists in the photo and video world. I get to work with interesting, sophisticated equipment in order to create images that didn't exist before. It gives me a window into the world, and it gives me a way to reach out and influence people.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I do a wide variety of jobs, from architectural tours to events and products. One memorable shoot involved shooting a specialized tool that was being used in the restoration of a WW2 submarine. I got an opportunity to work closely with the volunteers keeping this vessel in pristine condition while also promoting the tool company that had donated the equipment. I took the time to really learn the history of the submarine, the volunteer organization and how the tool was used. Then, after all the safe shots were done, I took the time to try to make some unique and unusual images. After I've gotten what I need, I always go back and try something new. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but its always interesting.
