Rizzo Photo Shoot

This past monday I had the great opportunity to work with one of my favorite worship leaders here at IHOP. Justin Rizzo. He has a new CD coming out in early fall called “Found Faithful”. I love the songs that Justin writes! When he is leading worship with his songs, it seems so easy for my heart to enter in and go somewhere with God. I’ve been wanting him to release a CD for a long time now and now that it’s finally happening, I can’t believe how blessed I am to actually be apart of the project by taking photos. I’m super excited that I’m able to be connected in a small way to what I’m sure will be a most excellent release. The next CD that I hope will happen in the future is a worship CD from Joanna Reyburn. I hope your reading this Joanna!

I had run this photo shoot through my mind several times the night before. I knew just how I wanted things to happen as to the art direction that me and Josh Motlong had discussed. Well, we made our way to the location, which is a place that I’ve done a few shoots at, only to find the whole place boarded up with no access whatsoever. I panicked for 10 seconds and then said “okay, plan B” except I didn’t have a plan “B”. We made our way towards the West Bottoms instead; I knew I could make something happen, as this location is so varied with endless visual potential. We started by shooting at the under pass since the weather was rainy, set the lights, set the exposure via my light meeter, and started to capture. We then hit a few other areas around the west bottoms and also took advantage of some of the rain puddles that were around from the rain that night. All in all it was a fun shoot, we got the dramatic lighting, and darker mood for the discussed art direction and below are just a few of the results.
