A New Logo for Kirk Pullen Photography

I have been working for several weeks now to come up with a new logo for Kirk Pullen Photography. I wanted something that was colorful and yet showed my ability to work with light and shadow. I feel like this logo represents what I was going for. I'll let you see a few of the rejected logos that I came up with. Of course you can see by the logo at the top of the page is the one I finally decided to go with.

RED

A few weeks ago, I was able to photograph a middle school dance. I made a custom background out of some unique material and painted it myself. The biggest problem I had with the background was getting the material to stay glued to the foam core that I used. Some of it started falling and I had to use duct tape to keep it from falling. Anyway, while making the background, I managed to get red paint everywhere in my studio! No one was hurt during the making of this background, although the red streaks everywhere might make you think otherwise. If you happen to see me in the next few days, I will be in the process of removing the red paint. If you are interested in getting a photograph session with a unique background then just contact me at the Kirk Pullen Photography Studio here in Warsaw, NC.

North Carolina Photographer - February Issue of Our State Magazine

The February issue of Our State Magazine has a spotlight on the Golden Grove Candy Company of Warsaw, North Carolina. Kirk Pullen Photography was contacted by the art director of Our State Magazine to capture the images for the article called THE PRIZE INSIDE. I had heard of the Golden Grove Candy Company before, but I was not sure what they sold. It was just by coincidence that I happened to eat one of their Carolina Crisp peanut bars at a high school basketball game the week before I was contacted. It was really cool getting to see the whole process in action. It is amazing that a small town like Warsaw can ship food all over the world. Lee Swinson is the owner and operator of the Golden Grove Candy Company and he was kind enough to give me the tour of factory where they make the peanuts and candy bars. Let's just say I have never seen so many peanuts in one place before. If you haven't got around to trying Golden Grove Peanuts and Carolina Crisp bars then you really need to. They taste great!

How I Created it...

On New Year's Eve I was helping my brother with a family portrait session in Rodanthe, NC. I found some really wicked looking trees. I used a stream from an old photo on a trip to the Pisgah Forest in the Mountains of North Carolina. Add in one prom photo of Victoria from last year who requested Angel wings on her photo and you have the end result. Keep visiting www.kirkpullenphotography.com for cool new composites in 2013!

The New Year brings changes to Kirk Pullen Photography

www.kirkpullenphotography.com has a new pricing structure for 2013. We will be offering more specials this year and we are excited about working with the Arts Company Studios out of Faison, NC. I've worked about 5 hours in Photoshop on this composite of a picture I call Radiant Angel. It all started from a prom photo that took at the Kirk Pullen Photography Studio here in Warsaw, NC. Tomorrow I will show how I put the composite together in photoshop, so stay tuned to this blog.
