Ross Oscar Knight Published in "Hitched" Modern Luxury's Atlantan Brides Magazine

Saturday, July 31, 2010


I'm thrilled that we were published in the "Hitched in Atlanta" section of the Atlantan Brides for the Fall/Winter Magazine. It was Nancy and Andrew's wedding from last year. Michelle Gainey from Lemiga Events really did a great job with the decor on this one.

I'll be partnering with some of Atlanta's premiere event professionals in the Evening of Bridal Luxury September 26th. More on that next week!

Keeping Me Honest - 3rd Quarter 2010 Check-up

Friday, July 30, 2010




In 2008 I did a post titled, "Still The Same Source of My Success." At my workshops I stress the importance of setting goals and actually achieving them. Without the stretch goals and business plan that I put together 7 years ago, my goal of leaving Corporate America to become a full-time photographer would have never been actualized.

So to keep me honest, I continue to keep up with some of my goals (quarterly) publicly as they happen. Thanks for keeping honest this year!

Some of you may be thinking that this entry is written to brag. Not completely. It's actually written to brag about where my blessings come from. Up ABOVE! I'm nothing without the vision and mission given to me every day and at every photo shoot by my spiritual guidance.I do not take lightly being able to wake up every day of my life with the realization that I am living my dream. That I have found my purpose in life. That I am doing exactly what I was made to do. And its not Photography. Its to give praise through my gifts and talents.

Feel free to share some of your goals and we will keep each other honest!

New Card Design Complete + KNIGHT Gallery Revealed

Thursday, July 29, 2010

I'm now officially letting the cat out of the bag. In September I will have the grand opening of my own gallery (KNIGHT Gallery) in historic Inman Park/Old Fourth Ward! The gallery will showcase images that I have taken in different parts of the world and eventually expand to other artist. I'm truly excited about this new venture and I hope you will join me to celebrate. We're finishing up renovations in the next three weeks. I'll be sending out the invite for the opening reception soon so stay tuned.


For nearly a month my new studio manager (Yvonne) and I have been busy designing an updated business card. It's crazy to think about but we designed at least 30 before settling on just one. Some days frustration kicked in but we put our heads together and got it done. On Thursday we had all of the cards in the office making final measurements before sending to print.





That's when I had this bright idea to go outside of the gallery and release stress by tossing the cards into the air. Anything for a break, right? We grabbed the camera and it seems like the activity turned into a competition...

Central Park Manhattan New York Engagement Session by Ross Oscar Knight | Ron + Patrice

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Patrice and Ron met me in Central Park for their engagement session. It had been two years since I shot there so the day before I searched for new areas to highlight. The day of the shoot we all hitched a ride with a bike taxi to get closer to our desired location. The poor driver was struggling to pedal up the hill. I think he underestimated the total weight of five people (1. driver 2/3. couple 4. me 5. my equipment)! There was also a triathlon going on at the same time which made navigation rather interesting. Once we made it to the bridge, Patrice whipped out a pair of heels from her bag and we were all set to go. I learned some interesting facts about the couple. Ron has an eye for fashion and great taste in jewelry. He even picks out some of Patrice's digs. For Patrice, I believe she could scale a 20 foot wall in less than 60 seconds. I witnessed her climb rocks at the park faster than I could change lenses to shoot.

I'm headed back to New York at the end of August for the wedding. In the meantime, check out the laughter and thoughts captured in the images below.

KNIGHT goes to Haiti - You can Help!

Wednesday, July 14, 2010


Update: We've raised $360 of the $500. Thanks so much to everyone who has helped out thus far!

Instead of traveling to Africa for a wedding this August, I have decided to travel to Haiti. I will be helping with the relief efforts and photojournaling the lives of some incredible people. I need to raise $500 that will be tax deductible. If you are interested in a donation (however small) send an email to me at ross@rossoscarknight.com. If nothing else, please keep me in your prayers and make sure to check the blog and facebook for updates.

Haitian/Nigerian Baltimore Fusion Wedding by Ross Oscar Knight | Rotimi + Martine

Sunday, July 4, 2010

Rotimi and Martine have to be one of the most fun-loving couples I've ever met. When I photograph them there is constant laughter and joking. I shot their wedding on a piping hot day in Baltimore but we managed to stay cool in selected areas of shade. Check out some of the highlights below to see the colorful events unfold.
