savannah smith photography and design

I love dancing, photographing dance and designing for dance clients. It’s always nice to have powerful images to use in publicity materials, and usually also presents a fun challenge to see how I can crop, combine, or otherwise alter how people view those photographs. Brazos Dance Collective is a modern dance collective in Bryan-College Station that I used to dance with and still am involved with as much as possible. They’re having a show this weekend and it’s sure to be amazing. Find out more about the show here.

When I was photoing a new addition to the Barbara Bush section at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, I discovered some of the photos I’d taken the last couple of years were hanging on the wall. It’s always fun to happen upon my work in neat places, so I thought I’d share.

Next time you’re in Wehner, be sure to grab a copy of this quarter’s @Mays magazine. I shot the cover photo as well as photos for the article on Business Honors. (There’s also another write up about the Red Dress Sticket award I won, also.) It’s always fun to see your work cropping up places.

One of my last projects of the year was a photoshoot with the TAMU Dance Department. The photos will be used on the promo materials for their annual concert this spring. I always love shooting talented dancers in action.

It’s all about… from savannah smith on vimeo.

It’s official, The Whoop Group from Texas A&M has received the prize from Chevrolet Nationals for the best photos + video (above) from the events we hosted on campus in October. Brandon Jarratt, Kathryn Hazard and I shot all the photos (and I processed them all). Matt Johnson and students from A&M Consolidated High School shot the video footage for us and I edited it. I heard there were some other pretty sweet videos this year, so it’s definitely an honor to have won. (Oh, and did I mention–we all get prizes. Sweet! : )

P.S. This announcement couldn’t have come at a better time. I was sitting at my desk, trying futilely to get back to work after watching Sherman’s final press conference. I think Brandon sums it up pretty well on his blog.
