Indy Ghost Light has been an excellent peer to learn from, observe, and share experiences. I'd love to see more of my photography peers step into this world and help make our amazing theatres have the quality photography and marketing they deserve!

I'll be submitting my name to the list, but with my service area being the Lafayette area, there are still TONS of opportunities left. I never would have thought I'd consider adding this to my photography, but working with Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette has opened my eyes to the joys of the theatre environment!

Photographers of Indy, we need your help!

There is SO much amazing theatre going on in this city that one person cannot handle it all. Do you take great headshots? Love doing video? Want to do backstage photos or tag along for early rehearsals? Join our team and let's expand the reach of The Ghost.

The guy who's done all of the Indy Ghost stuff to this point loves live long-form production photo shoots. In-the-moment production photography is, honestly, his only real passion. But there's so much more needed in the theatre community.

If you have a passion for photography, we'd love to get you engaged with the dozens of theatre companies in the city and allow us to focus on what we do best: live production photography and promotion.

If this sounds interesting, drop a note to me via email at [email protected]. Please include:

* What you want to do. Headshots? Promo? Video?

* Geographic area. North/south/east/west/whatever.

* Prices. Be gentle, these are mostly not-for-profits. Think in terms of connections made, not dollars.

* Samples of your work. Style is important, so give prospective clients a sense of what you do.

We'll compile the list of providers and put it on the IndyGhost website. It breaks our hearts when we have to turn down a show on the southside because we're shooting headshots for a show on the north side. Help us do the most good and also build a client base of your own.

I'm David from Greyt Event Media, where my journey in photography has been more than capturing moments; it’s been about creating connections. Working with local nonprofits has not only been a privilege but a profound learning experience. It has allowed me to see the incredible impact these organizations have on our community.

My camera is my tool, but my real work is about weaving together the threads of our community, helping to form partnerships and collaborations that may not have otherwise been possible. I’ve seen firsthand how the right connections can spark change and drive missions forward.

As I continue on this path, I'm eager to expand my reach and work with even more nonprofits. It’s not just about offering photography services; it’s about understanding your unique stories, challenges, and aspirations and finding ways to bring them into the spotlight.

I am committed to being more than a photographer; I want to be a catalyst for positive change, helping to link organizations, resources, and people. If you are part of a nonprofit, or know one that could benefit from a partnership that goes beyond traditional photography services, let’s talk.

Together, we can build a network of support that not only shares your message but also strengthens the fabric of our community.

For the love of Lafayette,
D

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the talented young cast of "Godspell Jr." at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette. Witnessing these young performers bring the story to life with such energy and dedication was truly inspiring. The production, with its vibrant staging and powerful performances, highlights the exceptional talent in our community's youth.

Civic Theatre's commitment to inclusivity shines through with their upcoming sensory-friendly performance of "Godspell Jr.," ensuring that everyone in our community can enjoy this creative and uplifting musical. These adaptations make it possible for individuals with sensory sensitivities to experience the magic of live theatre in a comfortable setting.

"Godspell Jr." is a remarkable showcase of local young talent and Civic Theatre's dedication to making the arts accessible to all. Don't miss the chance to support these young stars and experience the joy of community theater at its best!

Last week, I had the privilege of capturing Class 53's engaging visit to Grant's House with my camera. It was inspiring to witness the exchange of ideas and strategies for rallying volunteers and organizations to meet community needs. The dedication to collective leadership in our community is truly impactful, and I'm proud to document these moments.

Class 53 had a wonderful time last week at Grant's House learning tools and strategies for convening volunteers and organizations to address community needs from Civic Lab's Amber Fischvogt. Thanks to Jason McManus and Wabash Center Inc. for sponsoring and hosting our Collective Leadership Session.

Excited to be in the audience for once at Harrison High School’s performance of "Little Shop of Horrors" in West Lafayette! It’s refreshing to enjoy the magic of theater without the lens, fully immersed in the artistry on stage.

But the camera isn’t away for long! Today, I’m capturing the essence of the talented cast in "The Prom" through headshots, and tomorrow I’ll be back in action taking production photos of "Godspell Jr." Each performance tells a story, and I'm thrilled to freeze these moments in time.

Stay tuned for glimpses behind the scenes and the vibrant energy of these productions, brought to you by Greyt Event Media, where every shot tells a story.

I love being able to capture the moments as our local leaders connect and build strong relationships to keep Lafayette growing!

This year we returned to YMCA Camp Tecumseh for Class 53's Opening Retreat! We enjoyed all of the team-building activities and the opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors. Facilitator Brad Smith helped participants delve deeper into their personal leadership styles and how they can more effectively work together as servant leaders in our community.

Hey Lafayette and surrounding communities: How many golf outings are there this year? I'd love to know the name of the event and who it benefits! I'd love for next year to have a golf calendar so those who want to golf AND support our community have one place to find golf outings.

Last-minute opportunities often lead to the most memorable experiences. That was certainly the case with Mocktail Monday, an event I had the privilege of photographing on very short notice.

I've attended and captured numerous events (two today!), but Mocktail Monday stood out in its own unique way. The evening was filled with vibrant colors, laughter, and the clinking of glasses as attendees enjoyed a variety of non-alcoholic beverages crafted with creativity and flair.

The beauty of mocktails lies in their ability to offer the same sophistication and taste of their alcoholic counterparts, without the alcohol. This allows for a more inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their drinking preferences, can join in the fun.

Take a look at some of these moments I captured!

On my quest to continue to be everywhere:

Today I was able to bring out the photo booth to a wedding! Neither first nor last for Greyt Event Media.

It was a good time - Adam Welchans and Jordin Youst were there too!

Yesterday I was able to be at MatchHouse Realty Group BHHS Indiana Realty's gala and that was a blast as well. A lot of money was raised during a silent auction for a good cause!

Come to Raeco Realty tonight! It's going to be a blast!

On the branding and "professionalism" page, we are working on a logo for the brand. I've attached to the post some "ideas" that may make it into the final product. Stay tuned for the big reveal, and in the meantime, we would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on what elements you believe our logo should embody. Share your ideas in the comments below! 💭

While we celebrate this joyous occasion, let's also remember to prioritize safety during our 4th of July festivities. Here are a few essential tips:

🔹 Fireworks Safety: Leave the fireworks displays to the professionals and enjoy the spectacular shows organized in your community. Safety should always be the top priority.

🔹 Hydration and Sun Protection: Whether you're attending an outdoor gathering or basking in the summer sun, remember to stay hydrated and protect yourself with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses.

🔹 Respect COVID-19 Guidelines: As we navigate these challenging times, let's continue to follow local health guidelines and take necessary precautions to ensure everyone's safety.

Continuing to update ya'll on what is going on behind the scenes at Greyt Event Media. As many of you know, starting a new business involves a lot of puzzle pieces that need to fit together just right. One of those pieces is setting up a digital home - our domain.

Securing the right domain name was of upmost importance to me. It's more than just an address; it's the online identity of Greyt Event Media. When I decided on the name, I had domains in mind and I was lucky enough that they were available.

Although most of my advertising is on Facebook (and soon to be Instagram! on there if you want to check that out) - having a domain allows for an email and a website.

I've also been working on setting up our business email. It's a small thing, but having a professional email linked to our domain makes communication clearer, more official, and keeps everything tied to the Greyt Event Media brand. It's all about consistency!

You know, it's fascinating how much work goes into these things. Setting up domains, organizing emails - these aren't the glamorous parts of starting a business, but they are absolutely essential. They're the backstage crew that make the performance possible.

As always, thanks for joining me on this journey and for your continued support. I can't wait to share more updates with you soon. Here's to the next step of our digital journey with Greyt Event Media! - D

Hey friends! 🎉

Starting a new venture is a lot like creating art from a blank canvas. A brand, while initially artificial, can bloom into something really special and meaningful, often embodied by a distinctive logo.

Right now, Greyt Event Media is that blank canvas - there's no logo, minimal branding, just the seed of an idea. But this is intentional. As a solo entrepreneur, I've chosen to let this business grow organically, letting every conversation, every photo shoot, every interaction guide me closer to the perfect logo that will eventually symbolize my brand.

I've been playing around with a few exciting logo ideas. Maybe a playful greyhound wearing a party hat? Or a camera aperture, the heart of my craft, combined with the silhouette of a greyhound? Or perhaps I stick to the classics with a simple typeface logo sans images? Each conversation I have edges me closer to the final design.

Choosing the right name was an adventure in itself. I had quite a few interesting contenders - "Gatherings and Greyhounds Photography," "Snapshots and Sighthounds Photography," and "Runners and Revels Media." But eventually, Greyt Event Media emerged and just clicked.

While building this brand, some elements were crucial. First, the brand must offer room for growth into diverse aspects of media production. Photography is my springboard, but I'm also exploring other areas like videography and podcast production. My other business Hounds and Houses Media was able to hone in and focus on a specific niche and need for real estate media production, but I quickly outgrew it and needed a brand for the rest of my adventures.

Another key point? Memorability. I want Greyt Event Media to stick in your mind, to be the first name you think of when you're planning your next event. Lastly, and perhaps most subtly, it's all about the "feel" of the brand. That emotional connection, the unique vibe of the brand, is something that can't be easily captured in words, but it's vital.

As I navigate this artistic process, I invite you to join me on this thrilling, sometimes tricky, but always rewarding journey. Your input, ideas, and support are incredibly valuable to me.

Much love and many shoots ahead! - D
