Body Image

'A girl may be at a healthy weight for her height, but is that what she sees when she looks into a mirror?'

Photo illustration for a story about body image.

Busy Man

This is a photo illustration I did recently for a story about time management. After scratching my head for a few days I finally came up with a pretty good concept, but where to get a model?

Turns out the perfect model was right under my nose (actually on the other side of the cubicle wall). This is Eugene, one of the Telegram's copy editors, and he's the genuine item, with a "day job" as a college English professor and a young child at home he not only looked the part, he also had the props handy!

A photo illustration for a story on the difficulties people attempting to recover from a criminal past can face when looking for work in a difficult job market.

Football Illustrations

Each Friday this fall we ran a piece of feature art with the prep preview story in the Telegram. For several of the biggest games I did a photo illustration.  This one is for the biggest game of the regular season around here--the cross-county rivalry of Tarboro and SouthWest Edgecombe.

I composited elements from about 9 different pictures to make the train picture below. I still like the concept, but being my first real attempt at such a large scale composite I now look back and see a lot of little things I could have done differently.

Please note: no football players were harmed in the making of these photographs. =)
