Dancing with the Arts Company

I had a super time in early June working with The Arts Company of Faison, NC. Little did I know how demanding this photo session would become. On day 1 of the Arts Company session I starting setting up around 2pm and did not leave that night until close to 10pm. Day 2 ended up being very close to the same amount of time. Needless to say I was exhausted after being on my feet for that long. I have to give a monumental amount of praise to Leigh Williams for helping pose the dancers and getting the dancers where they needed to be! I really think the pictures came out great and I look forward to working with them all again next year!

Spring Fling 2013

I worked this past weekend with the attendees of a middle school "Spring Fling." It is the equivalent of a high school prom where the students step out of their usual routine and get dressed up. I have had the privilege of working with this event for the last 5 years. As you can tell by the pictures, some of the students took direction very well with their posing. People often only see the snapping pictures portion of photography. I spent 2 hours setting up for the Spring Fling session, 3.5 hours taking pictures and 18 hours editing the pictures. I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. I look forward to working with the Spring Flinger's next year.

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.
