My new studio space is now set up and ready for my first clients. This new, bigger space gives me a flexibility of options I’ve never had before. This image is only part of it, there are even more backgrounds available inside as well as a couple great outdoor spots just beyond the door.
To celebrate this new space, I am going to be offering 10% off all sessions and services booked before August 31st to anyone who mentions this sale.
Lets make some art! Stand out loud!

We are happy to announce that we have changed locations! And in true Texas fashion, we’re having a BBQ!
The new place is huge.. 2200 square feet, with more than half of it going to support her business (the KnittingFairy Studio). This has still left me with a sizable chunk for photography, though.. and a very usable space at that.
We are doing it right this time and having an Open House to celebrate on July 10. We will have food and drinks and be offering tours from noon to 5.
If you’re on this side of town, please feel free to drop by!

Well, I’m back from my week long stint at Texas School. I was working as a wrangler (assistant) for an amazing photographer out of the U.K. named Martin Grahame-Dunn. It was an exhausting week and my duties as wrangler made it difficult to get much shooting for myself in, but it certainly was a great, great week. My class was amazing.. great group of talented people.. and none of us particularly wanted it to end, even though we were all barely standing.
This was one of the few frames I captured out there.. Elizabeth isn’t really a high school senior – she’s not even a freshman yet – but I set out to photographer and process the image in that style.
I recently entered my first juried art show and I was notified this afternoon that the piece above, titled Gas $1.08 has been accepted into the show. Only about 20% of submitted work was accepted into this show, so it is a huge honor (not to mention really exciting).
This image is printed on a fine art metal medium available from my pro lab. The printing process starts with a layer of white ink to the surface of a 1”-deep brushed aluminum box. The image is then printed on top of the white base coat. It really is a beautiful process and makes this art piece really shine.
There is an artists’ reception this Friday night that is open to the public, feel free to drop by!
Visual Image Fine Art Publishing invites you to the Reception to view the work on exhibit this month.
“Photography & Digital Art Exhibition”
Visual Image Fine Art Publishing
14320 Midway Rd, Suite. #300 (behind OK Paper corner of Proton & Midway – more directions below)
Dallas, TX 75244
Friday night, April 16th, 2010 – 5:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Featured photographer, Steve Wheeler.
Kay Kallos, Public Art Manager, City of Dallas, Office of Cultural Affairs juried the show.
Many of the artists & photographers will be in attendance to talk about their work.
Visual Image is fairly easy to find. Take Midway to Proton. Proton is a light there and is north of Spring Valley and south of Beltline. If you turn east on Proton from Midway and look right, there is a building at that corner. OK Paper is in the front of the building and Visual Image is at the back – and it faces Proton.
Hope to see you there!
Was shooting at Strokers Dallas with a photography group and I got to talking to a couple of the customers. This bike belonged to this guy’s wife and he asked if I’d do a shot of it for her, too… he rolled it into the perfect spot where I could set up my strobes to light the motorcycle and the sunlight coming in the skylight was perfectly spotlighting the trailer in the background.
I will probably share more of this as the week continues.

My daughter, Meagan, will sometimes agree to model new patterns for her mother’s business, Knitting Fairy. The crop sweater is a new design called Matadora. This image was actually one of the outtakes, but I liked it for the energy.

Here’s a sneak preview of the next Greeting Card we’ll be adding. This will also be sold through KnittingFairy as a Get Well card.
The doctor said you needed more fruit and fiber in your diet…
This image and the one I finally chose as my favorite went back and forth in the running. I love both images for the feeling of the backstory… this one, an entertainer, down on her luck, smoking in a back alley. This was a set up shot, of course, done at After Dark in Austin. No instructor input on this, it was done away from the crowds. One other photographer was also working with Raina here, but she chose a different angle.
This was shot using my own strobist kit. The model is sitting at a receiving door, down in a hole of sorts. The main light is above her to camera right and there is another with a purple gel sitting near her hip,

Had a shoot with one of my photographer groups last week at a nearby small airport. We had classic planes and classic cars (and one Harley) as well as some local models at our disposal. This is a strobist group, so everything you see is lit with small flashes and modifiers mixed with ambient light. Of course, I made a few headshots while I had them as well.

And a couple more of the lovely Zuzzie. I could shoot this woman all day…
As many know, we have two different businesses in house. There is the photography business, of course, and then there is Knitting Fairy. My wife creates new pattern designs for that side of the house all the time, and we take advantage of having a studio on the other side of the house.
Here the beautiful Ashley models one of our newer patterns, the Shoulder Bling shawl.
