News Portraits / by Shane Wilder

This is a follow up to my previous post of photos from my days at CBS7 in Odessa, TX. I thought it would be proper to separate my portraits, as they can easily stand on their own.

So, lets get to it with some beautiful people.

Barry was the GM when I started at CBS7 and I feel very lucky to capture this before he left.

I love these desk shots from the morning show. What is funny is that I could never get our main anchor and meteorologist in the same photo.  The first photo has Krista with our fill in meteorologist, Craig. The second has Greg with our fill in anchor, Cat.

Kristen was leaving us soon, so I made sure to capture this while she was training a new producer.

Felicia, Jose, and Tatum (T2) shared the same birthday, so it was easy to get a group portrait.  Of course Felicia wanted to sit in the Studio 7 set, so I took a couple of solo portraits as well.

Speaking of Studio 7, I have to include a portrait of the host, Tatum (yes we had two Tatums) sitting in her rightful spot in the Studio 7 set.

These final two are of Chris.  He had a good since of humor and we used to describe him as Clark Kent.  He was always up for a photo.

That is it for the portraits, next time I will finish this trifecta of CBS7 photos with some candids from the 2015 Permian Basin Rehab Telethon.

Cheers.
