SWN - Southwestern Energy Annual Report /  by Patrick Lane

As an annual report photographer, nothing makes more importance to our clients than professionalism and delivering quality.  When our client Southwestern Energy contacted us to photograph the board of directors we knew that they trust us to deliver high quality professional images on time and on budget without compromise.  We had little time to work with the team of seventeen directors so time was of the crucial importance, all we had was five minutes from these busy and elite board members.  When the client's time is so valuable that five minutes cost them real dollars, we make sure to deliver. 

 

Rolls Royce Phantom /  by Patrick Lane

When you are trying to sell a $600,000 Rolls Royce Phantom you don't go to Car Max to have it photographed and sold, you trust the best and bring it to Patrick Lane Photography and Barrett Jackson.  This beautiful machine and luxury icon is an amazing vehicle, considering it is the extended version and 9 inches longer than a Chevolet Suburban, it is amazingly fast at 0-60 in 6 seconds.

in.gredients advertisement in Edible Austin /  by Patrick Lane

Our beloved store in.gredients recently received a grant funded from The Specialty Crop Block Grant.  As part of the grant we are running an advertisement promoting local produce.  Victor Vargas came up with the concept and I photographed the advertisement, I think it came out very cool.  Our ad will be featured in Edible Austin for a year starting this fall.  Come on in and visit with us.

ENFOJER - Indigogo /  by Patrick Lane

Indigogo helped our sister company in.gredients raise startup money for our Austin, TX based, zero waste micro-grocery store. With this said I'd like to help and also spread the word about a cool idea and product.

 While most photography professionals have a vague memory of chemical prints and stains on clothing from the developer, many people under the age of 25 have never even considered printing a silver gelatin print. ENFOJER has started a very cool product for printing silver print from your iPhone and even from regular film helping many to get into a old craft.

The coolest thing that I like about this concept of printing from your iPhone is that you can do lots of photoshop work on your computer then upload the finished image to your phone and  produce a sliver gelatin print. The two in the past didn't have much over lap but this changes that. 

My only real concern is, does the iPhone retina screen have the resolution to support an optical print and if so at what resolution.  I would hate to see pixels on a silver gelatin print. YUK, but overall a cool idea.

As I drove back towards the office Thursday I saw this great bumper sticker, it made me very proud. It represents a great little grocery store with so much more to offer than just groceries. We have a great community garden, wonderful patrons, local produce, growlers, and other goods with almost zero waste. If you aren't familiar with us, come on by and say hello, and check out all that we have to offer. I say 'us' because I am a proud team member and co-owner at in.gredients in lovely Austin,TX. This weekend is our one year anniversary and we are so proud of our team for keeping us up and running as we forge ahead in a new concept in retail grocery shopping.  We are having a party with live music, raffles, and much more. So stop by, socialize, and see what all the fuss and fun is all about. More Info here.

Helping Javelin create a new AT&T Blackberry mailer /  by Patrick Lane

I had the privilege of working with Art Director Jonathan Delong of Javelin in Dallas, TX on a very cool mail piece for AT&T.  The concept is reminiscent of a page from a child's pop up book.  You might remember these pages with pull tabs and sliding panels, this was the same principle, illustrating the new Blackberry 10 ability to switch from personal to work. The concept was simple, but the execution took some planning.  We built the personal scene using sod from Home Depot and then painted it three different shades of green.  We photographed the work floor scene at the AT&T headquarters in Dallas using existing office flooring.  We then photographed all the individual elements of each scenario, and pieced the individual elements together and separately so that they could be placed back together.  I think in the end the transition from work to play is seamless.
