More Power!

I wanted to show off a newer image I completed. It is a pretty intensive Photoshop and light After Effects piece that I did. I am really happy with the way it turned out and wanted to show it off!

Wow...It's been a bit!

Alright, alright, alright, I'm back after a LONG hiatus! In my absence I have been very, very busy, taking a job at Hallmark Cards as a stylist for still and motion work. In July, my tour of duty came to an end and I am back at it, looking for my next creative opportunity! In the meantime, I have been doing some traveling, creating some new music, and building my creative collections of trinkets and treasures as I explore this great land. As we speak I have continued on my road trip journey of "America's Highway" Route 66! For this first post back I am showing off three of the very cool "giants" I have found so far! It is my goal to post faithfully and religiously, showcasing my collections of Photography, Art, Vintage and Boutique Music Gear, Treasures and Trinkets, and Music that I feel everyone should be familiar with. Who knows, maybe I can inspire the next person in line, just the way I was inspired by those before me!

Updated website finally! Lots of new happenings!

Hi All,
WOW, what a long time in between posts! A lot has been going on and I am finally feeling like I can catch my breath and get back in the swing of things. I have finally updated my site with some new projects that have recently published. Also there are a few updates to my Personal and Environmental books as well. I have recently started working with Hallmark and have been enjoying my new role with them. It is a great company and they have been nothing but kind and generous to me. I have many new freelance projects coming up at the end of the month and my schedule is booking up quickly with the new ventures. I always welcome a challenge and am looking forward to all of the new happenings and events. My work is just getting better and better and many are really noticing the efforts I make when working on a project. I am very proud of what I have done thus far and expect that many things are only going to get better! Thanks for all of the support and help along the way...Until next time!

Two More Schoolhouse Images From Perry, KS.!

Hi All,
Here are two more pics from the Schoolhouse in Perry, KS. I hope you enjoy them! Until next time...

Prints Of Personal Work Available!

Hi All,
Just a quick heads up that prints and custom framed pieces of my work are available to clients and individuals. Many have been asking about prints and framed pieces, so I wanted to let everyone know. I have recently done several pieces for homes in the Kansas City area and welcome any inquiries into a custom piece. Anyone can feel free to e-mail me at landon@landoncollis.com for pricing and additional information. Some exclusions do apply if they were commissioned pieces but most are available to the public! Many images will be updated on my site, www.landoncollis.com, in the coming days to reflect my most recent works! Thanks again for the support and interest in my work. Until next time...

Perry Kansas Image...Love This Interior Shot.

The image attached to this post is one from Perry Kansas in which we visited an old schoolhouse now used for a local community center for the town of Perry. It was a great piece of Kansas history that had been partially restored from donations. They are still waiting to finish up the entry by the end of fall, so I decided to capture an image of the entry in all of its original glory before it disappeared. This image also captures what it means to be a photographer in the Midwest. The honest, somber feel of the woods and the isolated broken down piano taking center stage once again as it used to when classes were in session. You will not find a better feeling than capturing the heritage that I hold dear and the feeling that somehow in this digital age, which I am a victim of as well, we are losing site of the simple things in life. This image is one of those simple things...easily understood and humble. I will now get off my soapbox...

Abilene Kansas Image.....Kind Of A Creepy One!

Hi All,
As promised I am adjusting more images of the Kansas trip as time allows. Below is an old abandoned hotel shot done in the dark in downtown Abilene, KS. I used several strobe flash pops to expose the exterior during the 30 second exposure. It really has a beautiful sky hue and the tones throughout the brick are simply wonderful. However, the hotel itself was rather menacing and creepy, reminding me of an Alfred Hitchcock themed location. To see it at night made it all the more scary, yet in the day it blended into the downtown scenery and was indistinguishable. I really like this image and think it reflects the Landon Collis Photography style and the presence my images command with their audience. Until next time my friends...

Two New Kansas Pics!

Hi All!
These will soon be transported to my web site but I wanted to post them on here first! These are two images from an abandoned building in Abilene Kansas. I am working on a new portfolio of environmental exterior shots, so these are a good example of what my new works are looking like. I am very excited to get to processing the rest tomorrow, but for now here are the first two! Until next time...

Rural Kansas Trip!

Hi All,
After a busy few weeks, my good friend Dan and I headed out on a two day trip into rural Kansas for a photography expedition. No GPS, just an outdated map and a small town in mind where folks are kind, hours pass at a slower rate, and nature begins to reclaim what was once her own. I will say that it was a hot one in Kansas this past weekend but we persevered and captured some beautiful environmental images with Landon focusing on the structures and Dan on the local townspeople. We explored many a small town and devoured several hundred miles of back road on the trip, making for a great time. I will be posting some of my images as I get them done and processed. All of these images, combined with some others from additional trips, are hopefully going to be working their way into a gallery exhibit in downtown KC come fall! We will keep our fingers crossed for that! Until next time friends...
