I recently did something a little different. I took product shots for a guitar company to use on their website and materials. Chris from Yagerlener Guitars (Jacksonville, FL) designed it and Kevin from Kneeburg Guitars (Dallas, TX) built it. What a gorgeous piece of work! Kevin has been building fretted instruments since 2000. He attended the Galloup Guitar School in Big Rapids, MI to learn more about guitar electronics, repair, and to become an authorized Buzz Feiten Retrofitter. Every guitar is 100% handcrafted by Kevin; no pre-made parts or kits. If you are looking for a custom, one of kind, handcrafted guitar or need yours repaired or set up, then I highly recommend contacting Kevin! Kneeburg Guitars is located in the Alliance area of North Fort Worth Texas. You can give him a call (214- 562-5213) or drop him a line (kneeburgguitarsatgmaildotcom). And, check out his site to get a look at his workshop- http://www.kneeburgguitars.com.
I did some standard shots for them to use on the web and then shot some more artistic stuff for myself. Turns out they loved them all! Chris sent this message to me:
I got home today and quickly rushed the cd you gave me into the drive bay on my computer. As I clicked through the photos, I couldn’t help but smile. It was as if I were seeing my guitar for the first time. Fresh out of the box. Pure wonder dancing on the screen….right in front of me…AND I GET TO TELL PEOPLE IT’S MINE!!! I just wanted you to know I am ‘struck’ with your photos of my guitar. While this guitar is my brain child, it was Kevin’s hands that built it….and now your eyes have captured all the things a guitar can be. Thank you so very very much. If there are any other photographers on this earth, it is likely I will never know them….BECAUSE I KNOW LANIERSTAR!
Thanks a lot, guys! It was my pleasure. :)Kristen
