Aspire Multimedia and Photography

What a fabulous time capturing these memories at Legendary Athletics in Longwood, Florida a couple of week ago!!  The talent and dedication from all these young athletes, not to mention the tremendous talent behind the talent.. the coaches!!!!!!! Aspire Multimedia & Photography had another great year photographing all the teams and getting the athletes to "show their funny sides" to the camera. Good luck to everyone in the coming weeks during your final challenges in the competitive world!! Here's the "Behind the Scenes" video of the week long shoot!  Enjoy

Happy Friday! It's been a long week and finally had the chance to edit this photo we took of Samantha Frahn  this past weekend !!   More images just around the corner.  But in the mean time..... Don’t forget this weekend is Spring forward! We lose an hour of our day! Saturday night/Sunday early morning at about 2am set your clocks forward 1 hour. So now that you know you’re losing an hour, do you know why?? And other interesting things about Daylight Saving Time! DST first used in Germany US inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin first proposed the concept of DST in 1784, but  modern Daylight Saving Time first saw the light of day, in 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift. However,  Germany was the first country to implement DST on April 30, 1916 when the clocks were set forward at 11 pm. Though often referred to as daylight savings time (the...

Proudly active Protege in Peter Hurley's HeadShot Crew Are you thinking of getting headshots? We certainly hope so! Here is some useful information to make sure you’re ready for your time in the spotlight!:) Headshots are your own personal branding, they will represent you at your best- the you that you want agents & your next employer to see! Headshots are all about your face! Your eyes are the first thing you want an agent and/ or casting director to notice, then your smile & other features. Thus, during your headshot session the focus is all on your face, our goal will be to depict you in various “characters” depending upon what role or roles you will be auditioning.  CLOTHING  Your attire needs to be clean & wrinkle free! Bring them on hangers to avoid wrinkles (yes t-shirts on hangers too:) We recommend you bring at least 3-4 solid colored tops with various necklines & tops of various styles for the session & place them on hangers to avoid ...

We sincerely hope your 2015 has started out with happiness, health & progress towards your goals!  But don’t despair if you have not stayed on the path towards those goals whatever they may be!  Many of us put too much pressure on ourselves to start something new on January 1st of the new year. Quite honestly it can be too much pressure to put that date as the only day you can start a new beginning.  We are now into the first week of February and if you have not stayed on track or even started- don’t worry! Every day is a new day! You don’t have to wait for morning, or Monday or the next month- just start! Live your life by the hour if you must! For example, maybe you ate a donut for breakfast (again) and you feel as if you ruined your diet already. Forget that mentality! This is a new hour! You can still choose to eat healthy foods:) Maybe you plan to write a novel, a movie, become an actor, singer, etc. Any day you start is the perfect day!  Are you ...

It's a great Monday following a busy and productive weekend! We are looking forward to sharing the final product on two concept videos we filmed.  The bonus to being a photographer & videographer is working with such exceptional talent! Capturing the essence of the dancers is easy when they work as hard as everyone did!  Each concept video was unique in it's own way, which makes for a full day of collaborations, ideas, angles & thinking outside the box.  Each director/artists has a vision they need brought to life.  Notice I didn't say "want brought to life".  I say need, because if you're an artist in any sense, you completely understand that what's in your head "needs" to come to fruition or it's highly frustrating! Working together we found transitions that worked, movements that come to life on film & angles to capture what the director had in mind.  Again, it was a weekend of productivity and greatness for all involved.  ...

Good afternoon! I hope you're all having a wonderful Tuesday- we are!  I've been working for several years taking headshots for clients.  Some are seeking to be actors or dancers while others are in pursuit of modeling. Not matter what type of industry you are trying to get into, your headshot is *the* way to open doors!  When you book a headshot session with us, we will provide you with detailed information about what you can expect & what you'll need to wear (in the near future, we will also be posting some info on our blog for you:)  Today's post however is about the other most frequently asked question we receive---"do you know of any agents I could submit to?":)  So here is a list of some local agents recommended by SAG (Screen Actors Guild). These are professional agents who don't get paid unless you do!

A big Thank You goes out to Kingdom Church , here in Orlando FL, for having Studio One perform for their youth program.  They were super supportive and we certainly felt their enthusiasm!!!

What a great week in Las Vegas!!!  Studio One, led by Julie Johnson,  placed 3rd in the HHI USA competition which earned them a place to compete against 48 other countries in International competition.  Staying true to their beliefs and unique style, they WOWED the audience and received a standing ovation in the Preliminary round!!  Scores showed them at 7.27 with a -1.0 deduction for implementing "dangerous" tricks. A raw score of 8.27 would have brought them into 7th place and into the World Semi-Finals.  The team knew what it meant to perform their original routine and showed the world what they were made of.  Congratulations Studio One!!!  We are all proud of you!!
