The Henfields

I had the great pleasure of taking pictures of one of the most good looking families I've ever seen at Stone Mountain a couple weeks ago.  What do you think?

The Williams Family

I met the Williams family in downtown Fairburn to try and take in some of the scenery.  They were so fun to work with, I hope we can do another shoot in the future!  Here are some of my favorites...

Doug

Even though this little mini-shoot was only about 15 minutes, it has to be one of my favorite ones.  Doug is the nicest guy you could meet and really fun to work with!

The Warmack Family

I had the opportunity to take pictures of the Warmack Family this past Sunday, here are some of my favorites!!

The Johnson Family

I had the great pleasure to work with the Johnson family (also my Aunt, Uncle and cousins) this morning.  They were a lot of fun and taking their pictures was a great way to start the weekend!  Here's a little peek into the session:

Jewelry by Gab.E

Just another sneak peak from the jewelry shoot I did for Gab.E.

Cape San Blas

I recently had a family vacation to Cape San Blas and here are some pictures that I'd like to share.  Thanks to Hiroshi Sugimoto for the inspiration for my "Seascapes", I hope they work!

Jewelry Shoot

My latest shoot consisted of shooting for a new jewelry line my friend Gabby is creating.

This is part of the new summer line from "Gab.E".  Her website should be up soon!  Here's a little preview:

Light Painting

I've recently been going out with Evan, a friend of mine, just experimenting with various things.  Here are some things I came up with, and some collaborative work with Evan.

Recently I have been engaged in trying to capture movement.  I have always been interested in learning about long exposures and how to compose such an image.  Lately I have been practicing and will be using these images in my last photography class of this semester...and ever!  Most of them deal with the movement of cars but I have come to love photographing skateboarding (showing motion and also having crisp focus, thanks Chris!)

My Senior Show

So yesterday, Monday, I had my senior show along with Alison and Brittany Durkee (behind.the.lens, check her out!).  Here are the images that I displayed along with my artist statement!

Scenes From A Memory

By Corey Cross

      The images displayed represent vague scenes from a memory—they look somewhat familiar, yet remain enigmatic. My photographs are inspired by everything outdoors regarding nature and some things scientific. The feelings and emotions evoked from my photographs are something that I feel a strong connection to.  I want the viewer to feel as connected to the photograph as I do; I want them to search for something from their memory and relate it to the image being viewed.

It is evident that I like to use a wide-angle lens, trying to capture everything that I want in a single frame.  Using both extensive and shallow depth of field, I want to point the viewer’s attention to certain details that might be overlooked at first glance.  Texturally, all of the images go together and provide the viewer a sense of actually being able to feel the image that is displayed. 

From the beginning moments of becoming a photographer, working with black and white film has really led the way in my creation of more interesting photographs.  Gaining inspiration from Michael Kenna and taking what I’ve learned from the film process, I apply that knowledge into a digital image.  I envision what the picture will look like in black and white as I am framing it and how the available light will be transformed.  I feel as though a picture in black and white has a lot of character.  There are so many more things that you can see in a black and white photograph versus a color photograph.  The contrast between the deep blacks and the grays mixed with white make the viewing pleasure greater, in my opinion. 

I find it important to have my camera by my side almost at all times.  Through my experiences, it is when I least expect it that I will create a fantastic photograph.  That is why I love photography so much.  It is a great pleasure for me to have a camera by my side, waiting to press the shutter and capture that elusive image.
