The yellow pages ad

In October, I was hired to shoot a portrait of local attorney, Kana Johnson. The original purpose was to have an updated yellow pages ad done. A few weeks later she sent me the ad which was created for her.

Frankly, I was a little nauseated. If you take the patter of a carnival barker and reduce it to text, this is what you get. Nearly a half dozen fonts, DMV photo (made from MY work...), clumsy alignment... It had it all.

Kana did not ask me to redesign anything, but I really could not let this be a representation of one of my clients. (If Kana is reading this, she's probably saying, "Oh my God! My photographer is such a cheese ball!") True, true... But she LOVED my take on what the ad should look like.

Check out the 2009 phonebook. Well, you could just have a look below. It is one of two designs I did for her.

Corporate Portrait 3 Ways

I had the amazing opportunity to do a corporate portrait session with Columbia area attorney Kana Johnson. She wanted a more updated look for some advertising pieces. More importantly, the images needed to have a range of looks for differing markets. Downtown Columbia provided all the settings we could ever ask for. A great "model" (she speaks 4 languages by the way) a cool Autumn evening, and great light, all came together to make a great shoot!

Three quite different looks from the day.
