U.S. Rep. John Lewis

U.S. Rep. John Lewis helped pack meals with over 5,000 other volunteers at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. After giving a speech to volunteers, he met with media to give interviews. This is when I get to hunt for images. Surrounded by cameras, microphones and one light on him, I crawled around looking for the best angle with the best light.

A Portrait of Dad

Laura (my wife) and I moved back to Atlanta from New Jersey in spring of 2012.  One of my favorite things about being back down south is hanging with my dad.  I try to take portraits of my dad as often as possible. He always laughs when I grab my camera and ask him to pose.

My dad laughs because just about every time I see him, I make him pose for a portrait. Photo by Branden Camp

Atlanta Mosque honors Muhammad Ali

With no assignments on the calendar this day, I set out to make some images for myself. It's very important that photographers keep themselves staying hungry and sharp. 

Members of many different faiths gathered to honor the late Muhammad Ali during an interfaith service at the Atlanta Masjid of Al Islam in Atlanta, Georgia.  The light was extremely beautiful following the service that day.  My hope was to capture the rich culture and beauty that exist within this community in Atlanta.

Bill Clinton Campaigns For Hillary Clinton

Former president Bill Clinton made a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  Several hundred supporters gathered for the chance to meet a former President inside a small high school gym at North Clayton High School in College Park, Georgia.  Outside, campaigners took advantage of the opportunity promote local candidates by walking around with campaign signs.  At the end Clinton got close and personal with the crowd.  Here are a few frames from the event
