Interviews with the Ascencion Photography Family – Gordon

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 19:06:03 +0000

1. What is your job title?

Photographer.

2. What is your routine while doing a shoot?

Well, you know, I go out, tranquilize the kids – I’m only kidding! I first survey the landscape, trying to find the most flattering conditions to assist in creating the most beautiful images for my clients. Then I take the photographs, first some classic poses and then sometimes I try something new. Then I like to just let people be themselves.

3. Do you have any memorable family anecdotes from past shoots?

One time I was on a shoot that had a dog that they wanted in the photographs. When shooting photographs with dogs, I sometimes have to bark at them to get their attention so they look at the camera. Well, I started barking with this particular dog, and after a while the family all started cracking up. I asked what was wrong and they said the dog was deaf!

4. What made you choose this job?

I love working with people and creating beautiful images for folks that they’ll treasure a long time.

5. Favorite place to photograph?

Any beach that has really nice dunes.

6. What is the most interesting question a client has asked?

“Where’s the beach?”

7. What is your favorite age group to work with?

I love them all, but I especially like working with older couples who are celebrating wedding anniversaries or some other important milestone.

8. What’s the worst thing a client can do on location?

Wear bright colors that contrast, like white and black.

Fast Fun Facts:

College attended: American University

Favorite color: Purple or Magenta

Favorite sports team: I don’t really watch sports, but I watch the Tour de France every year.

Favorite restaurant on the beach: The Brewing Station

Any work-related quirks? I love to roll around in my roll-y chair. It’s like riding go-carts! Sometimes, I roll around the entire studio just because.

Last book you read: A spooky book whose name I can’t remember by Dean Koontz

Morning or evening sessions? I love sunrise sessions the most.

Specials gone; archives stay.

Our 2011 specials are over and our Christmas ordering deadline has passed. To all of those who’ve been wondering, yes we do keep archives indefinitely. Even after this year’s galleries have expired, the images are stored and can be recalled. A phone call and a nominal gallery reposting fee are usually all that are necessary.

End Polio Now – Rotary District 7720 Golf Classic 10-25-2011

admin — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:37:34 +0000

These images of the 2011 Golf Classic put on by the Greenville NC Rotary Clubs were created by photographer Gordon Kreplin of Ascencion Photography. Gordon is currently the Rotary District 7720 Polio Plus Challenge Chair. The day was beautiful, spirits were high, and many teams came out to compete. All proceeds will go to the Polio Plus Challenge in Rotary District 7720, taking us another step closer to the eradication of polio worldwide. There are four countries left where polio is still endemic: Pakistan; Afghanistan; India and Nigeria. Visit www.rotary.org to learn more about Rotary and its fight against polio, a crippling disease that mainly strikes children under the age of five.
