iPhoneography

When working with Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, we wanted to use a few unique tricks of the trade. One of these was using the iPhone for the church’s homepage photo. Often I place quality over the cool factor, but the iPhone is very capable and the Photoshop app is simply amazing. The trick was finding the right time to shoot the best picture.

As a freelancer, you want to make sure you build flexibility into your schedule. And you also want to try and capture the moment versus scheduling a forced-moment. So one afternoon when I was driving home from work I realized the sun was perfect for a photo. I swung by Pleasant Hill since it is near my home and snapped a few photos as the sun was setting through the trees. I think the effect was great!

The beauty of being a freelancer that exists for local churches is you can do something like I did. Working within your element and community provides you with an advantage other businesses wouldn’t have. This is what drives us and we are excited about the possibilities with investing in our future!
