Last month, Earl Bynum celebrated his birthday in the form of a gospel music event. The concert was held at Mt. Lebanon (The Mount) in Chesapeake VA, where Earl is the minister of music. Ju Joyner, Sheliah Belle, and Brother Ray co-hosted throughout the evening. Gospel artists & groups included TaMyya J, Virginia Mass Choir, God’s Image, Naomi K. Thomas, Donald Ashley & Millennium, Antuan Barnes & Absolute Worship, As We Are, God’s Purpose, Vision, and Elevation… whew! BET’s Sunday Best Winner, Crystal Aikin, also blessed the audience with a couple of selections. Here are some moments from on and off the stage.

Earlier this year, I photographed gospel artist Naomi K. Thomas for her debut CD project. Her live CD is now available, and features some images from the session. Portraits by Benson Blake Photography are also used throughout her new website www.naomikthomas.com. Naomi’s CD “Best Offering” is available online at CD Baby and iTunes.

I was recently asked to photograph gospel artist Naomi Thomas for her upcoming CD release. We were able to capture lots of different looks for her CD packaging and promotional materials. Part of her session took place at our studio, and the rest on location at New Community Temple COGIC in Portsmouth VA. Here are a few of my favorites.
