kendrick /@/ kendrickdisch.com   Studio: 404-939-3123

I grew up in a creative/entrepreneurial household in Arkansas but my adventurous nature has taken me all over North America including lengthy layovers in the deserts of New Mexico, the colonial mountain towns of central Mexico, the sunny beaches of the Yucatan Peninsula and the lobster villages on the coast of Maine. I've documented my exploration of Mexico's places and people in a book called "A Glimpse of Mexico". I'm lucky enough to see my photography featured by The Santa Fe Photography Workshops, The Maine Media Workshops, The Music Hall Concerts, Quest Magazine and Student Filmmakers Magazine.

As a video producer/director, I strive to create compelling stories. I've made documentaries, short films, commercials, various music promo materials including live concert dvds and an interview series called Bands and Their Vans. I spent 4 crazy years running the jumbo video boards and instant replay equipment for the University of Arkansas Athletics department and for 5 years I shared my expertise with faculty and students as a video support specialist at the Multimedia Resource Center.

I'm currently based in Atlanta, GA and look forward to chatting with you about your creative and technical needs.

You can find me other places on the net as well!

Deliverables for Environmental Portraiture

Friday, June 19, 2009 at 1:45am Posted in Photo School Stuff | photos

So, as mentioned in the previous post, I just finished up my 2nd quarter at Portfolio Center where I’m working on building up a commercial photography portfolio. Besides the lighting class I was in, I was also in a class called Environmental Portraiture in which the goal was to take various types of portraits on location. Each assignment had various educational goals and each one got progressively harder. My instructor, Joel Silverman, was great and taught us a lot of retouching techniques too. We had 6 deliverables (deliverable = what we show to our critique panel at the end of the quarter). But I’m only posting 5 because I wasn’t happy with one of them…

Author Portrait: create a black and white portrait, at twilight, of an author for use in promo materials

June 25, 2009 - 5:16 pm djd - these are awesome! My fav of these tho is the author portrait. The background is soft but the arch is there and with his curly hair makes me think of him as a roman god. love that it's black and white.
