Carden Photography – Portrait and Wedding Photographer in Tullahoma, Tennessee

Jay’s senior shoot at the South Jackson Civic Center in Tullahoma turned into a modeling session. Here’s the headshot he’s handing out to agents today.

I recently created some really cool images using dramatic lighting with Michael Maupins at South Jackson Civic Center in Tullahoma. Here’s one.

Band Camp is underway for the Tullahoma High School. The drum line and guard got a few days head start this week. The full band will step up all of next week.

I just received this unsolicited note from Travis in Tullahoma:

You do some excellent work… You’ve got a really natural sense of light, especially in your candid outdoor shots. In a controlled studio, if you don’t get it right, well you just shouldn’t be a photographer… but in the great outdoors reality is harder than you make it look. Your online portfolio is very inviting.

So I thought an outdoor shot would be appropriate to go with it. This image was taken at noon in the middle of an open field. However you don’t see any evidence of  hard shadows from overhead light. God gives us great light to work with … but we have to know how to… and take the time to… modify that light to make our subjects look their best.

Happy 4th of July, everyone! I fondly remember from growing up the fireworks shows put on by the Tullahoma Kiwanis Club. You can probably see a few of my images from last night’s fireworks and air show in tomorrow’s Tullahoma News. Or you can click on the image below to see a slideshow with many more images.

Happy 4th of July! This one was just a few hours ago at the Tullahoma Kiwanis Club’s 2009 fireworks and air show.
