A food blog dedicated to the Kansas City commercial photography studio - Alistair Tutton Photography

My Neighbours. They Rock, literally.

My neighbours (English spelling) are wonderful - they’ve been there for a couple of years and they are really nice guys. They’re also in a band. So I trade photography for them playing our annual studio piss-up - it’s kinda a win-win as I love working with them on their covers and I love hearing them play. For this one we did some simple images on a white backdrop and they’re working with an illustrator, Chance Bone, to add some unique feel to the final photography. We’re currently working on a new concept shoot with them that’s shaping up really nicely and they just did a project providing audio for a video for the Buckle.

Kansas City - Time for a New Mayor!

Congratulations Kansas City! Tomorrow you’ll wake up to a new mayor (we will probably find out that name this evening). I was very fortunate last year and KC Magazine sent me on a shoot to photograph each of the main mayoral candidates; Mike Burke and Sly James, Deb Hermann and Jim Rowland and of course, the incumbent, Mayor Funkhouser. It was a great shoot, and as it was my first time being eligible to vote for a mayor I really appreciated the opportunity to personally meet each one of these fantastic individuals. Good luck to the winner and thank you to all the candidates for their service to the community.

PS. While I may have a favorite, that’s my secret with the booth, but I’ll be honest I would love either of the two final candidates to be in office - we are spoiled for choice in my opinion.

SALT Branding - DexOne

So, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away there was a photographer and a blog and a ton of really cool, exciting new work and this complete inability to get the work on the blog…but here goes with the new years resolution for 2011…wish me luck.

Sometime, way back in the barmy summer of 2010, we got the chance to take a long drive to sunny Denver and meet some fantastic folk from DexOne - they’re busy redefining the phone book - not easy stuff. Anyhow, they got us to shoot an entire image library to match the incredible new brand they got courtesy of SALT Branding. Thanks DexOne, SALT and the incredible crew that worked tirelessly to shoot some beautiful photographs. Seriously, I loved it, love the shots, and who knows maybe I’ll get around to showing a few more off one of these days.

Thank you to Lea, April, Margo, Jill, Paul, Laura, Doug (the unluckiest man alive), Vicky, Sarah, Ryan, Tiffany and last, but never least Mat. It was a ton of fun.

Kristen Fisher: AIA Kansas City

I have been working with Kristen and the AIA in Kansas City for over a year now and it’s been a wonderfully beneficial relationship. It all began with the presentations I’ve been giving for their membership on architectural photography and has now grown into me shooting their latest advertising campaign.

“It is always a pleasure to work with Alistair. His knowledge of the industry and attention to detail show in the fantastic results. Often times we have asked him to turn around a project in a very short time frame, and he is always up to the task. We look forward to working with him on our next project.”

Neil Steiner: TouchPoll KC

Neil is a fantastic fella that I’ve known for a couple of years throught the Freelance Exchange and has been a wonderful source of referrals and was a pleasure to shoot.

“This bloke is GREAT! His work speaks for itself. 100% PROFESSIONAL! Whether or not you need help with a business or personal photographic project, Alistair will make sure that everything results in SATISFACTION! I highly recommend Alistair Tutton Photography.”

Matt Shepherd: Matt Shepherd Advertising and Design

Matt has been a fabulous client over the last couple of years; we’ve worked together on promoting Townsend Development’s series of condo projects in Kansas City and Omaha.

“I have hired Alistair on many occasions. He is always great to work with and the images are top notch. Great shooter and a good guy!”

Nicholas Segura: Spyn Design + Marketing

I recently worked with Nicholas on capturing a whole bunch of new models for 385 Talent; it was tremendous fun and the talent is exceptional.

“Alistair is a GREAT photographer. Recently our models at 385Talent.com needed some shots and Alistar was very professional and accommodating. We got great shots, files, and appreciate the help!”

Kevin Fullerton: Springboard Creative

Kevin and I recently collaborated on his own website imagery and the Art+Copy Cheeky Awards collateral; he was an absolute pleasure to work with and really committed to the unique creative that we captured.

“While Alistair’s great eye was what initially made me want to work with him, it was his highly-collaborative style that made me choose him. I came in with what I wanted, and he "plussed” it. What he added to the process made the final result exceed my expectations.“

"I also work with Alistair on the Art+Copy board. He did an outstanding job as special events chair. He launched our newest event, the lifetime achievement award recognizing a creative individual in the Kansas City advertising community. The event was a huge success because Alistair threw himself into the project. I’ve seen him do that on several things. He just doesn’t know how to do anything half-way. I look forward to a long working relationship with him.”

KC Mag; Dream Jobs - Anthem Media

Just finished up a doozy of a series of environmental portraits. It’ll be in the June edition of KC Magazine. This was a wonderful article based on people and their “dream jobs”. I must admit it was fun meeting the head brewer at Boulevard, walking out on the grass at Kauffman and checking out the Presidential Suite at the Speedway. But of course my favorite is ChefBurger - I love the food, the space and the branding.
