Smoke Grenandes and Gasoline

I worked most of the weekend as spring winds whipped across Dallas under crystal blue skies and glorious rays of sunshine. Cyclist rode the tour of Dallas, there was a Deep Ellum arts festival, a marathon, and Nascar was in town while I shot TCU football for Nike and started a branding project for friend and news anchor Kim Fischer. As the winds of change rolled through it was admittedly hard to focus as we prepared for our first open house, I scouted locations, went looking for smoke grenades and knew there was so much in town I would not get to photograph.
With so many balls in the air right now including three jobs this week, taxes and the ever-present stress over what is going to happen with the wife’s Air Force package it was just nice to eventually get out on Sunday and play. While it was technically work, it was one of those days where I openly proclaimed how much I love my job, “pop smoke Gavin. Harl, gasoline now… more… good! Kim, Go!” This image will eventually be part of marketing materials and a web site for Kim as she prepares to move markets and take her face national. I want to say thank you to my assistants (who needs hair on their hands anyway?) and to Kim, I love the fact that she is willing to push the concept and create more than a standard head shot.
As we head into the week make sure at some point you create art for yourself.

while there are tons of great photos of Kim out there, this by far is my favorite and frankly my favorite “headshot” of any I’ve ever seen. Such talent in your hands and eyes.
Incredible. I only wish my headshot could be half this awesome.

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for your kind words. Kim is amazing, when we sat down to talk head shots and I threw out this 6 image series we are working on and she sat back and said “Ya why not!” Wait till you see the one we are shooting this weekend.
So if you have a creative idea you want to create I am always game for creation.
Thank you again.
Sincerely
Jensen Walker
