Below is a small banner I did for the show AMIX that we held last week at Sight Key Studios. We had a nice turn-out and I think most everyone who attended had a really nice time. The work will stay up for about a month before we put up what we hope will be another interesting show. So feel free to stop by and check out the work.

As we move into March things are going well here at the studio. Lately we've been shooting a variety of projects: everything from content for a commercial website, to headshots for an actress/model, to sexy pictures for a boyfriend's birthday and even traditional family portraits. I love the challenge of shooting different projects. I simply mention it because, if there's some pictures that you're wondering if we can shoot then call us and we'll discuss your project.

Beyond that, the weather is starting to turn and it feels like spring is in the air. In honor of that I'll create another post to showcase one of the pieces from AMIX. Check back every-so-often for additional images from the show.

Thanks for reading.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, February 5, 2009 – Oklahoma photographer and artist Robert Henry will debut a new solo show entitled “AMIX” at the Sight Key Studios Gallery. The show will be an eclectic mix of photography and artwork that has not previously been on display. An opening party for “AMIX” will be on February 13 at 8 p.m. and will run until midnight.

Robert Henry stated, “The selection is mostly pieces that I adore on a personal level for one reason or another.” AMIX is a collection that runs counter to typical art shows. “Usually when you showcase a body of work you are taught to have a unifying concept or idea. While I love to work that way, a lot of times small, singular images get set aside and thus, may get lost along the way,” Henry explained.

The “AMIX” opening party will start at 8 p.m. on Friday February 13 at the Sight Key Studios gallery. Entrance is free and refreshments will be provided. “AMIX” will run through Saturday, March 21. Regular gallery hours are Thursday and Friday from noon until 7 p.m. or Saturday from noon until 5 p.m. Call Sight Key Studios at 405-917-7704 or visit the Sight Key Studios website, SightKey.com for more information about the event, or to arrange an interview with Robert Henry.

Robert Henry has a B.F.A. in Photography with a Sequential Art minor at the Savannah College of Art and Design, in Savannah, Georgia. He has worked as an artist in a variety of media, with photography being his main focus. His artwork, ranging from painting to illustration to photography, has been featured in several galleries from Georgia to Oklahoma. In his work he seeks to create imagery that maintains a fine art aesthetic while also being of solid craftsmanship. Robert Henry is President of Sight Key Studios Incorporated.

.. but, it's not too late to get pics in time for Valentine's Day. While the schedule is starting to fill up we still have slots and times available to create one-of-kind pictures for you and your loved one.

We are ten days away from Valentine's Day, but that's still plenty of time for us to shoot, work and get pictures to you in time for that special day. Our turn around time is often a day or two, depending on how many pictures we shoot. So, even as the days pass by, we can still get you in and deliver a disc of pictures for you to create prints (or we can print them for you) in time for Valentine's Day.

Sight Key Studios differs from most studios in that we are willing to meet you on your schedule to do a shoot. It's difficult to come by during the day if you work a normal nine-to-five job. Not everything runs on that schedule. Heck, we don't work on that schedule normally. We are available anytime by appointment. I have already been approached by a young woman who didn't got off work until 7pm so, we'll do a shoot at 9pm for her. I have started shoots at midnight before for some people. I relate these examples simply to let you know that when we say 24 hours a day by appointment we mean it. So, if you'd like to do something special but don't have a normal schedule, give us a call and we'll see what we can get arranged.
