The Newest Rhino! Jeremy Angeletti!

It's been a long time in the making that Jeremy would come on full-time.

But today, ladies and gentlemen, we celebrated his first full day as a RHINO!!!



Jeremy will be an editor and producer/idea generator guy. 

We're pumped.

Greg Jennings is the man.

Kevin here. I was going through some media from the past year and I stumbled across this photo of Green Bay Packers WR and Kalamazoo native, Greg Jennings at a celebrity golf event I had the privilege of shooting this past summer.

Greg is a class act and an athlete you can admire for his character, talent and faith.

If you're one of the three lucky kids in this photo and you'd like a print, email me at Kevin@rhinomediaproductions.com

2013!

Dear friends of Rhino.

It is with deepest regret that we inform you that 2012 will be our last.
totally kidding.
We love what we do and we want to keep on keepin' on.

2012 was a year of incredible growth and change.
We brought on Angel Arnold, a WMU graduate who felt like our sister from the very beginning.
We parted ways with Jonathan Jermyn, a dear friend who helped tremendously in the early stages of Rhino.
We moved spaces to our beautiful new location on the corner of 344 N. Rose Street in downtown Kalamazoo, MI.
We finally convinced Dan Martinez to try something other than Bud Light and he drinks Bell's Porter like a pro.

Although we've underwent some significant changes this year, our foundations remain the same.

We still love people.
We consider every day a blessing and an honor to do work that we love.
We still are trying to find new ways to make a difference in this world.
We are committed to transparency, humility and personal growth.

Looking forward to 2013...
We welcome Jeremy Angeletti and Tori Gebolys to the team.
We look to finishing our "Michigan Beer Film" documentary about the explosive growth of the Michigan craft beer industry.
We regret to say that we will no longer be officially shooting wedding photography.   (more details to come).

Bam.
2013.
Here we come.

- Rhino Team.

The Maternity Shoot - Elizabeth

Most of the time, photos done at Rhino Media are almost entirely on me.
Not the case with this one. 

This is Elizabeth. A long time friend of mine who is having her 4th and last child.
She asked if we could shoot her maternity photos, except she kinda wanted a girl to shoot them.

So for this session, I got to play Art Director rather than photographer while my good buddy Allie Goodrow actually came into the Rhino Studio to take the photos. 
Tori Gebolys was the camera assistant for the shoot. 

From there, my assistant, Jessica Ulman, did the pre-edit for all of the photos.
And then finally, I edited these two myself.

Team effort all around.

TV Commercial - Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport

Shot over the course of two different nights after midnight on a 5D Mark II.

This was a really awesome project on a lot of levels.

It was the 1st time we:
Shot on an airplane. (cramped, but awesome)
Worked with Brian Lam, who produced the spot. (rocked it)
Werked with Adam Carter, who did the hair and costumes. (rocked it)
Worked with Kat Knofs (lead actor, rocked it).

We love what we do.
