I did a shoot for Marriott last week  and we shot some HD video please click on the link to see the movie!  Renaissance Orlando At Sea World Movie.  I say we because I had my seven year old son Victor shoot with a GoPro HD video camera attached to his head.  We made this short movie with i movie on my mac. The next link is the “Victor” version.  Click on the following  link to see Victors version  Marriott At Sea World Water Park

Sometimes when you see a clients name show up on your phone when it rings, you know its going to be a good call.  I have a client like that by the name of Tom George (www.tgyg.com) He’s a boat broker.  Not just any boat broker, a big boat boat broker.  I recently shot a Hatteras in West Palm Beach FL near Peanut Island for him.  The boat is called ORION, its for sale if any of you rich friends want to buy it.  Please see more of my work at www.kovich.com

I shot this cover of David Price For Inside Pitch Magazine in Port Charlotte FL a couple of weeks ago under the art direction of Erik Ruiz, who by the way did the fantastic post production work on the image.  Opening day is Friday April 1st.  Come on down to the Trop and join in on the excitement!

With blue skies and the sun shining brightly, the Rays kicked off the Rays Charity Golf Classic at The Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club in Bradenton. Rays players and coaches were matched with foursomes who competed for the 2011 Charity Golf Tournament crown.

What a great client!  I’ve been working with Edward Jones for a few years now and feel so lucky to know the Edward Jones creative team!  You can see quite a few Edward Jones photos on my web site www.kovich.com.  We tend to shoot in some GREAT locations.  This location happens to be in my home town of St. Petersburg FL.

The below link is to a teaser 1080p video I shot during the still shoot. I used HMI lighting (which is a continuous light source used in cinema) for the whole shoot. By doing so I was able to shoot video of every scene as well as stills.   Have a look!

The great thing about a photographers blog is that its about photography so you don’t have to say much…  I will say that Jack Morton World Wide is a great client!  I’ll also say that photographing a President is a very cool experience!

This time lapse Video was shot over a twelve hour period using the Canon software provided by Canon. One frame every five seconds. Yes it was a very long day!   That’s about 8500 frames.
