Media-Hive Holiday Portraits

The theme for the 2010 Media-Hive holiday card was (very) loosely based on a Swedish dance band. Not sure of the direction we were going to take with this, we brought in a professional photographer to take various group and portrait shots. Me being my usual self decided to document the occasion with my iPhone. Some candid shots taken in front of the backdrop with my the CrossProcess app seemed to have the look we were going after.

I did a quick second shoot of portraits with my iPhone utilizing the backdrop and florescent overhead lighting. After some Photoshop touchup these portraits were sent to clients as a pack of postcards with a group shot selected from the first photo session.

View the final set of postcards and group shot.

Update: These photos have been featured on the Banana Camera Company website, the makers of the CrossProcess app. Thanks guys!

  • Manifest – Two Months Later

    It’s been two months since I released my first Wordpress theme, Manifest. And in those two months the response has far exceeded my expectations. Which honestly wasn’t that hard since I didn’t really have any. Since it’s release, Manifest has been listed on various Wordpress theme blogs and used on countless personal blogs. It’s also enjoyed over 1100 downloads. Which still boggles my mind.

  • Manifest & IE6

    One of the key features of my recently released Wordpress theme, Manifest, is that IE6 is unsupported. This hasn’t been an issue with the vast majority of people using the theme, but there have been a couple of comments and emails asking about IE6 support. I figured I’d clear the air on the subject.
