Making .Mov(s)

Stevie G. of RDQLUS CREATIVE / RGC to be featured in the next installment of Bill Stizmann's "Moving Portraits."

Bill Sitzmann, principal & photographer at Minorwhite Studios has long been one of the foremost artistic eyes—both real & mechanical—in the Midwest. When he reached out and asked me to be the next subject profiled in his "Moving Portraits" series, I said yes before he could finish the sentence.

Armed with a bevy of tech and his trusty (and hilarious) assistant—the talented Jess Ewald—we spent a couple days talking, hanging, laughing and… oh yeah, filming it all. I've never seen two people work so hard to produce a product that makes another person look so amazing. What a great time and such an honor. The shots seen here are mere screencaps of the "dailies," so it goes without saying that I can't wait to see the finished product.

This is my new favorite person. May I present, Jessica Ewald. Budding photographer, currently part of the Minorwhite Studios family, and possibly the funniest person I've met in awhile. Her talent with any lens is beyond remarkable (this is one of her Instagram shots from her iPhone) but more than that, her personality is infectious and her quality—absolutely genuine. I officially only met Jess this week while being captured in video form as the subject of Bill Sitzmann's (Minorwhite Studios) latest installment of "Moving Portraits." After a polite handshake and one of those "yeah, we kind of recognize each other" glances, we fell right in step and you would have thought we'd know each other our whole lives. I love meeting good and talented people here in my fair city. This was an official business endeavor, and yet I left hoping I've made a new friend for life. That's how this thing should go. Never leave empty-handed; exit every situation with something of value and well worth keeping. So, hey Jess; welcome… You're stuck in the land of the 'Hvy Crwn' now, kid! [read more]
