UVU



I just started a part time job shooting for Utah Valley University. I will be photographing for the school's marketing and recruiting campaigns, as well as the publications like UVU Magazine/Sequel.
Yesterday was my first day, which, coincidentally, was the new UVU President's first day too. The new president is Dr. Matthew Holland, son of Elder Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve.
The new position requires me to be a Jack of all photographic trades--on my first day, I was sent to photograph the President, as a photojournalist, then later, we did a studio portrait of the new student body president, and then a lifestyle shoot for a recruiting campaign poster. Tomorrow I will doing a table top/still life shoot.
Here's a shot of Dr. Holland signing his first official order as president, and above is a shot of a building on campus. I think I am going to do more of these in a series.

Hahahahahahahaha.
And so it begins...
Don't offend Captain Holland, though (eff that guy), or we'll be passing that position right along to the next guy...
Next time you see Mr. Wankster Holland, tell him I have a few suggestions for things he should eat... most of them are anatomical. And most of them belong exclusively to men. A whole army of men.
And tell him to grow a chin, for cryin' out loud.
Feel free to delete this...

I'm Mr. Stone's replacement (see above comment, or don't see it if you are easily offended).
He left some pretty big shoes to fill.

usually any visual image of that campus makes me ill. but you did a great job with that top photo - while it still looks like every building on campus (the architecture & cement walls with those holes in them) i like how you shot it. nice job.
