I am a full-time freelance photographer living and working in the great city of Nashville, Tennessee. In former lives I was a professional musician and later
a bartender. I don't know if those two particular skill sets add anything to my marketability as a photographer but they sound like cool jobs so I thought I'd put them in here.

I am famous.

It's true. Around school I am widely known as "Allyson's Dad" and also "John Robert's Dad", two titles I wear with tremendous pride. But to be truthful, even as a nationally published photographer I'm probably most famous here in town as the guy who's married to (singer/pianist) Teri Reid.

As a photographer I am blessed with an extremely varied client list –– I get to shoot for everyone from Fridrich and Clark Realty to LP Corp to Meharry Medical College. My team and I have recently shot fashion ads for Serendipity Clothes here in Nashville, I’ve done cover shoots for Enclave Magazine & Homes in Nashville Magazine, and we just did the November Cover for Personal Chef Magazine.

We’ve also done quite a bit of catalogue work for Hickory Hardware, recently had three shots of the Oscar de la Renta Runway show here in Nashville on the de la Renta website and the picture to the right is me, six hundred and fifty feet in the air in the crane on top of the Batman Building shooting the steelworkers who were putting up the new AT&T sign.
Like I said, blessed and extremely varied.

My wife and I run a full service studio in the heart of the 12 South District. Feel free to knock on the door and say hi any time the curtains are open and the strobes are firing.

Thanks for stopping by.
