In the past, I've covered a lot of panels and shows during SXSW, but this year I got to shoot a few movie premieres. While mostly low-budget indie films, it was a real treat to shoot and talk to some people whose work I genuinely admire, particularly Reggie Watts (Comeday Bang! Bang!, soon-to-be band leader on The Late Late Show) and Mark Duplass (The League, The One I Love).

I shot quite a few panels during this year's SXSW. As I've mentioned before, taking pictures of people talking under convention center lighting is never going to be too much fun for a photographer, but I do enjoy the experience of being there and listening to what the speakers have to say. Here is just a small selection from this year's panels, which include the following people...

• Jonah Peretti (founder and CEO of Buzzfeed)
• Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (rowers / internet entrepreneurs)
• Wiz Khalifa (rapper)
• Lauren Giraldo (digital personality)
• Robert Rodriguez (film director)
• Dave Stewart (ex-Eurythmics musician)
• Frank Sinatra Jr. (singer)
• Steve Van Zandt (E Street Band musician)

Also, while not technically from a panel, I've included some shots of comedian James Adomian, who presented this year's Interactive Awards. I'd seen him at last year's SXSW where he instantly became one of my favorite comedians. While I'm a wee bit disappointed I didn't get to see him perform a set this year, seeing him host the awards and then having the opportunity to photograph him afterwards was a great consolation.

First wedding of 2015! And I don't think I could've asked for a nicer bride and groom to shoot. Taryn and Shane were one of the most easy-going and relaxed couples I've worked with in a while, traits they shared with their entire wedding party. It's always immensely fun to shoot a group of people who have such great chemistry together.

I'd also like to give a little shout out to wedding coordinator Rachel Stepanov of The Fairytale Effect. Wedding coordinators have such an incredibly hard and stressful job to do, but Rachel handled this one with seemingly effortless grace and professionalism. My photography partner and I felt like we were well taken care of. Highly recommended!
