Tennessee

Today is Sunday, the last day of a four day trip. I’m sitting in a restaurant called Charley’s in the Nashville airport having a cold one after a long trip! My flight is in a few hours, so I’m having a proper meal – a welcome respite from the Taco Bell, Burger King, Krystal, McDonalds, and Arby’s that sustained me for most of this trip! I took myself to a Cracker Barrel next to my hotel on Thursday night, but otherwise I’ve been eating on the go.

I decided to take traveling modeling to Tennessee because my friend Serge invited me to come see the studio he opened several months ago near Chattanooga.В  Photonooga – catchy I think! If you need a studio in the Chattanooga area, I recommend Serge and his studio highly.

Without many offers for work in TN, I was a little hesitant to book a trip. Serge agreed to put me up and do a little marketing for me, so it all worked out, but I only had two confirmed bookings within five days of my trip. Yikes! I ended up with a last minute booking in Nashville on Thursday afternoon with JT. We had a great time shooting at a local residence. Friday I was scheduled with Mike (who is actually from Houston) at Tracy’s studio on Cannery Row.

WHAT A STUDIO!!!

I’ve been to studios all over the US.В  This is what a studio should be. Its on the top floor of an old warehouse (Cannery?) building. Some of the original walls and floors have been preserved and natural light floods through large windows and several skylights. There is a large open space, and the rest has been carved into interesting nooks and crannies featuring a variety of colors and design styles that are a delight to the inner visual artist. With interesting furniture of a distinctly NON Ikea style and wall textures that could be found in any custom home, its almost impossible to make your sets look staged or ‘created’. Even the functional areas of this studio are completely shootable. For those of you hooked on your seamless, there is a cyc wall and plenty of room to set up paper. This is a must do for any photographer within 200 miles of Nashville.
