I want to express my gratitude to this last year's batch of writers, musicians, models, broadcasters, comedians, and other daring personalities who took the risk of hiring me to make their image. We never knew exactly what to expect, but when the shoot was wrapped there was a brand new vision of each subject. Thanks for taking that risk.
For 2010, I will be splitting my business personality into two characters: I will continue to shoot weddings, engagements, guitars, events, and inanimate things as Rory White Photography, but will shoot artists as 'RORSHAK'. The reason for this is that all of my hero artists have one name and I'm still at an age where I can begin acting terribly pretentious and its not to late to start alienating people with an air of absolute arrogance. The typical RORSHAK shoot will include emotional outbursts, throwing of objects, and extended awkward moments when the client will turn to the makeup artist in disdain and ask "is he for real?". (The previous sentence is your reward for reading this far in the email ;) Actually, a RORSHAK shoot is a specifically designed shoot for developing artists with a competitive budget who want to emphasize dynamic concepts in a photograph. Please send me a note for more specifics if you are an artist or are developing an artist and need to make images for promotional use or for album artwork. RORSHAK exists because my work was getting diverse, and it may behoove my marketing efforts to specifically promote a specific brand of photography. Much of my business, however, relies on diversity. So to keep from throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I am keeping 'Rory White Photography' and creating 'RORSHAK'. I am also continuing my experimentation with short-haired mustaches.
Thank you so much to all of my clients over the last year--I copied a few links to some your web addresses below. If I failed to link you up, please write me and let me know and I'll make it right somehow.
