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

Linda Buchner: T2

Linda and I worked together to capture the incredible new interior of Take Two’s studios. It’s a fabulous project and she was an absolute pleasure to work with.

“Alistair brings a HUGE level of fun to all his projects and activities. Because of his great positive attitude, smart and precise decision-making skills, and amazing eye for detail while setting and composing each photograph, Alistair is a terrific partner for any visual communications project. His volunteerism for the Kansas City Ad Club is truly commendable.”

St. Mary's Episcopal Church - Urban Times

We had a chance to check out one of Kansas City’s oldest surviving buildings today. With its 120th anniversary coming around the corner St. Mary’s is a beautifully restored symbol of the architectural magnificence that Kansas City was founded on. For this shoot I got a chance to play around with the HDR inside of PS CS2 - those acronyms stand for “High Dynamic Range” in “Photoshop Creative Suite Two”. Which basically means I let the computer munch it’s way through a dozen or so images to blend the extreme lights and extreme darks in the space. They came out pretty well; but I’m going to see how Photomatix (another software for this type of thing) works out.

Townsend Incorporated; Brandeis - Matt Shepherd Ad.

Another great trip to the Northern wastes of Omaha and this time I got to see a whole bunch more of the downtown nightlife; it’s pretty darn good. Especially when it’s not 14 degrees outside! We also had a fantastic shoot.

The Brandeis building is an incredible piece of architecture that’s having a fantastic overhaul. It’s a former department store that turned into an office building that then had a bit of a down stretch. But now things are looking up. The big highlights, beyond the great condos, are the two huge atriums and the top floor that is entirely open.

DIFFA - Dining by Design

Following on from photographing Richard Manes’ birthday I was invited to capture the 2008 DIFFA Dining by Design event. This is a fabulous event featuring a whole series of tables designed with extremely unique themes. The ticket sales and a silent auction all raise money for the DIFFA charity and it’s a staple event in the Kansas City social calendar.

Garmin Dining Facility - PGAV Architects

We just wrapped up a new shoot for PGAV. This was really good fun; the shoot had to happen at lunch time in the working dining room so that we would have food and people. Oh yeah and we had to light it. We got it done, with time to spare. Thanks to Garmin for all the help!

Westlake Ace Hardware - Blacktop Creative

In the start of a year long project we spent a long night making a beautiful Westlake Ace Hardware store absolutely perfect. We tweaked and teased it and showed it in just the right light to ensure that the new signage, designed by Blacktop Creative, would be shown in context. Throughout the year I’ll be capturing new signage and merchandising set-ups as the seasons change and new ideas hit the shelves.
