  • Who’s This Randy Dude?

    Well, that's me! I'm from East TN, married to the lovely Laura, have way too many kids (two of which are Active Military), and would rather be spending time playing with the Grandbaby right now.

    On the photography side I have the coolest photography studio in Knoxville (ok, maybe I am a bit biased), have won several awards, teach a variety of photography classes, love working with kids, high school seniors, and families, shoot a lot of sports (bad habit #3), My images have been published worldwide, including two Sports Illustrated covers many other national and international magazines and newspapers. I have photographed everything from newborns to underground mines to some very awesome images of kids and high school seniors, and yeah it's a blast!

    My goal is to produce stunning images of my subjects using creative backgrounds, lighting, and posing techniques. My sports photography is located here. Thanks for stopping by!

Tennessee Smokies Baseball Video

Last week I had the chance to finally give shooting video with a HDSLR a serious try. It’s a difficult way to shoot video, but being able to use a 300mm lens at 2.8 gives it a very unique look. Huge thanks are due to Adam Kline and the Tennessee Smokies, Wade Payne (gear), Patrick Murphy-Racey (video technique), and Cap Stewart (editing).

This was shot entirely with a Canon 7D, mounted on a monopod with a 300mm 2.8 lens, and edited with Sony Vegas. It’s really two different videos combined into one, and while it’s far from perfect, I’m pretty happy with it:)

Knoxville Sports Photographer

Been busy today planning out my schedule for the upcoming football season (First game is August 19th!) and also had a few nice surprises today.:)

One is the new Anderson County Football poster schedule, with an image of mine from last year as the background…

Football and Fireworks!

And the second surprise was the lead image on www.maxpreps.com, I remember this being one tall dude!
