Well hello there. My name is John and I am a photographer. I started Essence of Soul Photography back in 2011 when I caught my first cloud to ground lightning strike. Essence of Soul's motto " We put the soul back into photography." This is my first blog and here you will get updates to what I am feeling and also trying out as I experiment with different types of photographic processes. Since I went back to school in 2011 at the Art Institute of Charlotte I have gained a lot of experience and have seen a huge increase in my skill level. The teachers at the school are passionate about their field of work and strive to help you the student succeed by all means possible. My first quarter at the school one of my light painting photos was submitted to the school magazine and it got published and my teacher gave me some sweet words of advice to continue in my journey. Oppurtunities began to appear for me as a photographer : Getting to shoot the Manifesto Film Festival which showases students work in film, shooting the red carpet for the Addy Awards, helping take pictures of the animals at the local Humane Society to help the animals get adopted. I made the right choice by going to back to school thats for sure. One of my most recent oppurtunities that I recently helped with was for Bigg's Camera's Smile for Life fundraiser for Camp Care and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I spent the day getting to shoot about 5 families with kids. It was absolutely amazing to put smiles on the kids faces by letting them be just kids. I ripped my pants in half and also put a hole in my shirt while working and that was an added plus for it means I have achieved success. Everyone that I worked with was pleaseant and awesome and I look forward to helping Biggs with this event in the future. I have grown professionally and for that I am truly thankful. In my blog you will see photographic posts and stories about my journey. Here is a sample of some of the things I like to shoot :
