As a photographer it is rare to find yourself on the other side of the lens. When an opportunity is presented to photograph a photographer and be photographed by a photographer you take it. Phillip Glickman is a really great wedding photographer here in Austin, TX who has a clean, classic, and timeless style, which I am a huge fan of.

I was privileged to be able to photograph the people of Corgan at their Dallas branch over the past few weeks. It was quite an undertaking as I was responsible for shooting 250 of their employees over 3 phases of 2 days each. This broke down to one person every 10 minutes for 8 hours a day. Not only was our goal to capture a great head-shot for each individual, but we also sought to capture a lifestyle shot, conveying the personality of Corgan. This was an ambitious goal and I’m happy to say that it was a success. It drives me to challenge the status quo by pursuing a unique and creative style. It was exciting to work with those who agreed with this sentiment.
My aim in my profession is more than just technical. It is to capture moments that communicate genuine portrayals of people. It is story telling (the reason why I got into photography in the first place). I found that by engaging each person and showing true interest in what they had to say, it allowed enough of a comfort level to exist so that it was possible to photograph natural and positive expressions. In many cases I felt it necessary to engage in unusual topics of conversation or tell really bad jokes in order to distract people from feeling the pressure of being photographed. Some nuts were harder to crack than others, but overall I was extremely pleased with the results.
