Patrick_Lane_Photography_Saul

This is yet another sample of my work in use. This is my good friend and fellow photographer, Saul, or Salsa as I like to call him. He loves life, his family, and cars. As if you couldn't tell by the smile on his face, he loves his 1968 Impala coupe. This was such a fun shoot and the proof is in the pudding.  This photograph is in my printed portfolio, and continues to be one of my favorite photographs I've ever produced.

USAA Advertisement

When I was a teenager my brothers and I would visit my father in Boerne, a little German town just northwest of San Antonio.  We would travel into nearby San Antonio to visit friends, shop and dine, and explore.  I remember driving by the gigantic USAA complex and wondering "what the heck goes on in this place?" I never thought as a child that I would be photographing advertisements for the company as an adult. Thanks for hiring me to photograph your ad! USAA started out in 1924 as the United States Army Automobile Association by a group of U.S. Army officers to self-insure each other because they were unable to get auto insurance due to the notion that soldiers were a high-risk group. Today, United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is one of the top ten automobile insurance providers in the country. USAA now employs more than 21,500 employees throughout the United States, and was ranked 45th on Fortune Magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."

So, props to USAA for providing a great service to our military and their families!  And a special thanks to Phil Foster and Tatiana Luneva-Evenchik for deciding to work with me.  It was a pleasure to work with you both.

Hot Tub Time Machine

If you haven't seen Hot Tub Time Machine, it's truly worth your time.  It'll have you laughing in no time.  During the opening credits you can see a photograph we did in an actual Hot Tub Time Machine, minus the time machine. Sorry for the low quality screen grab, it's doctored a bit to make it more visible.

Merian.de Part 2

Continued from the previous post on Merian.de.  On this stretch we photographed and interviewed lots of people about Gruene and New Braunfels.  I wish everyone could read German, as the article isn't in English and it covers lots of information on the history of Gruene and New Braunsfels.  Oh well, enjoy the images!  Make sure to click on "Fotostrecke" - I think it means photo gallery.

South Texas College of Law

Here are some featured images from our shoot with South Texas College of Law.  Our liaisons, Sue Cox, David Powell and Cheryl Mc Entire were a pleasure to work with.  They gave me excellent direction and the proof is the pudding! I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

Midway Companies

I had a wonderful time in Houston working on Midway Companies' annual report, in conjunction with Ron Brady and Liz Horner at The Dealey Group in Dallas.  Our biggest challenge was making six different photographs appear as one image during post production. 

Fall 2008 Rigamarole

Fall 2008 Rigamarole pg. 3-4

This was a great project to work on.  Rigamarole is an awesome publication for the employees, customers, suppliers and friends of Diamond Offshore Drilling.  Working closely with Daniel Pagan at Rigsby-Hull Design is always such a pleasure.  He is a great designer and a great person to know.  This article is about the 30 million dollar face lift on The Ocean Valiant, a semi-submersible rig operating in the Gulf of Mexico.  The article above was written by Denise Allen Zwicker.
