Order to Chaos — My Favorite 60 Photos of 21,000 From A Single Night

I’ve shared the whole lot of these before in video format, but today it gives me great pleasure to present my favorite 60 or so images— edited down from a body of work called “Life of the Party” containing more than 21,000 images captured in a single 5 hour evening. Yes you read that correctly…(via an out-of-control set up at our last studio anniversary party).

Click here for my favorite results.

[***UPDATE: BTW, a lot of people have asked how we edit huge volumes of work like this down to our favs. So to learn how we do it (works for any level photograher), check out our infamous post: Photo Editing 101 .]

Party pics or cultural ethnography?…I’m not the judge. I’m just presenting the priceless facts that I’ve come to love. Most of all, Happy Friday – perhaps share with a friend who is stuck in a cubicle.

    I love ya to death broham, your work is beyond amazing and the things you do serve as a constant inspiration to me in ways I can’t even begin to thank you for.

    THAT BEING SAID….

    the only thing that differentiates these photos from the drunk college party photos that get plastered all over facebook on a daily basis is

    1) the quality of the camera is better
    2)these people are far to old to be jumping around like drunken ninjas showing their asses and pulling their pants off.

    Now granted, if I posted photos like this on my website….well, i would never work in this town again, thats NH for you. Maybe bigger clients want to work with wacky edgy photographers, so more power to you. But in my world, this would lose me clients.

    I love ya man, but trying to suggest that these photos have some sort of higher value than just really nicely shot drunken party photos is well….a little much.

    LET ME ONCE AGAIN CLOSE BY SAYING WHAT A HUGE FAN I AM AND HOW MUCH YOU INSPIRE ME AND HOW AWESOME A PHOTOGRAPHER YOU ARE!!!!

    word.

    Hope you had some camera protection as I notice the background got ripped down!

    That’s a party I’d love to crash. I’d even bring Rice Krispie Squares.
