Day Job Working on Christmas Day / January 17, 2018 by Shane Wilder

Last time I posted a shoot that I did on a holiday that I had to work. Well, I also had to work during Christmas day and thought it would be good to take a few shots on my other co-workers who where stuck in the station for Christmas day.

This is Halloween! / October 25, 2017 by Shane Wilder

Oh, how I love Halloween. I love great horror films and haunted houses. I had the joy of working for Bloody Bill's Def Con One and Circus of the Dead Murder Maze. I took advantage of taking photos during the 2015 season. I hope you enjoy these.

It's a Kind of Magic / August 16, 2017 by Shane Wilder

Being friends with a magician has it's perks, including learning ways to get a free drink. It also leads to some amazing photos.

My friend, Brian Brushwood has been a punk rock magician and podcaster for years. He literally wrote the book on fire eating. One of his biggest endeavors has been Scam School, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Imagine an online show where you learn scams, puzzles and magic tricks to help you score drinks at the bar. The show was also picked up for a pilot on the Science Channel. So, in honor of the television show and the 10th anniversary of Scam School, I thought I would share some of my favorite behind the scenes photos from some of the best bars in Austin (Including The Handlebar, The Rusty Mule, and The Nomad).

News Portraits / July 19, 2017 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.

A Behind the Scenes Peak at a West Texas News Station. / July 5, 2017 by Shane Wilder

I have worked for three different TV stations, but the one that I have the most photos from would have to be CBS7 in Odessa, TX. It was a great station and a wonderful stepping stone to get me to Austin.

I will probably do a few of these photo stories about them over time, but this one will probably be the biggest, as it is a standard behind the scenes.
