NC Event Photographer

We recently had the pleasure of photographing and producing a promotional video slideshow for a world premier of an incredible performance of “A Christmas Carol – The Concert” with the Baltimore Symphony.

The audio track you will hear is from the CD, NOT the Baltimore Symphony. It’s an awesome adaptation of Dicken’s Christmas Carol for Orchestra, Chorus, Rhythm Section and 4 performers. It was an absolutely incredible. Hope you enjoy the slideshow! (5 mins)

NC Product Photography

In my line of work I often get to work with people who inspire me; yesterday was no exception. R. Winston Miller is a wonderful artist and craftsman whom I have no doubt is destined for great things. This beautiful cherry table is his latest commissioned creation and we took this photo before the inevitable delivery where the new owner will enjoy it for a lifetime. Bob lives and creates his masterpieces in Boston Massachusetts. You can find Bob at www.gentlemanfurnituremaker.com Enjoy!

NC Wedding Photographer - Jen and Ward

We had the distinct pleasure of photographing Jen and Ward's wedding recently. I photographed Jen for her wedding portrait this year as well as an incredibly fun engagement session at Tanglewood. Jen was a beautiful bride as you will see from the photos and we couldn't have enjoyed spending the day with them more. Enjoy!

NC Corporate Photography - Lights, Camera, Boat and a Skyjack

As a Corporate photographer I get to experience a variety of unique situations. Some fun and some quite interesting. This particular shoot required a Skyjack so I could get certain perspectives of the subjects at hand. I regret that I am unable to show the end result of the shoot because I was only the front-end of the production. Enjoy...

Ashley & Chris

I can't say enough about Ashley and Chris. They are such a great couple and their wedding was a blast. Everyone associated with the wedding (families, friends etc) have been so gracious and I'm so glad that idlewild got to be a part of it! Enjoy!

Corporate / Commercial Photographer, NC

As a Corporate Photographer I often get to photograph some interesting pieces and these are no exception.

Welcome to our Blog.

2014 was our Seventh and best year to date! Over the past 7 years we have evolved into more of a corporate studio than anything else with approximately 90% of our business being commercial and the other 10% being a mix of portraits, families etc. Commercial work can be both challenging and rewarding. Challenging, because you have to have a very good understanding of manipulating light. After all, the word photography literally means “light writing”. This is a skill that must be practiced and improved upon constantly. I often read profiles of photographers who call themselves “natural light photographers”. That is all well and good but they are only dealing with half of the equation. We are all “natural light photographers” but one must also have an understanding of how to introduce “artificial” light into the equation and make it appear to be natural….. or NOT. The work is rewarding because of this unrelenting pursuit of lighting “perfection”. I put that in quotes because like in the case of music, photographic perfection can never be achieved, it is merely something for which we strive. (I’ll stop myself now before getting too philosophical for a photography blog.) At any rate, we look forward to 2015 and the new clients the new year will bring as well as continuing to serve our current clients.  Whether you have corporate or consumer needs for photography or video, give us a call to discuss your thoughts and ideas.
