It’s the quiet ones you need to watch out for. I’ve been told this a number of times but don’t think it always applies. Sometimes the quiet ones can be very down to earth and really funny. They can even be a comedian. It definitely changed my perception of comedians after working with this guy; Colby Bradshaw. Not that I know many comedians.
With a little stint in New York City doing comedy he has brought his dry, real sense of humor to Maine and is doing quite well. He admits it isn’t easy but then again what profession is that requires you to peddle yourself out to get work. The difference is that he has embraced that and actually makes a little joke about it. Which shows you what his comedy is like. Real events with a little twist or analysis, maybe even thoughts you have had. It takes a comedian who loves his craft to take mundane objects or events and can turn them into a joke. I felt that with Colby.
I love collaborating with my clients in the design process. He came with some great ideas that we were actually able to see to fruition. Having a client with ideas of the photographs they are looking for or how they want to be photographed makes the process so much more fun and more personal. The armchair on the beach is his kind of humor and was totally his idea. I was able to find the locations and angles that I thought would show the concept the best. I loved working on this and hope to be able to do more with him.
Keep your eyes out for Colby Bradshaw, and get to one of his performances. It will be a treat I can tell you that much. Catch his Artist Profile video below for his take on his craft and purpose.
