Nate Mathai

I am a creative artist. But there's so much more to me than just taking pretty pictures. I'm a Christian, a husband, a brother, a son. I'm passionate about technology and sports, and the psychology of people. These personal posts give you a little glimpse into a different side of me, covering pretty much everything non-work related. I love connecting with people, and I'm so looking forward to connecting with you online and in person. Enjoy!

As I was editing my last shoot, I figured it might be fun to give you all a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into how I prep my files. Since I retouch my images, there’s a lot more time involved than just shooting the day-of. This is a very quick overview of mainly just some edits (as there’s obviously back-ups, uploading images, presentation, etc. that isn’t in the clip).
I think the bigger reason for me to do this was because I love jumping back to my video roots to give me another creative push. It’s been almost 5 years since I’ve done any real video work, so I like jumping back in when I get a chance as a separate outlet for creativity. Hope you guys enjoy this! Let me know what you think in the comments below, and if you’d like to see more like this or any other types of video. Take care!

So I’ve been stuck in front of my computer for what feels like 75% of my days recently, so I jumped on the formspring.me bandwagon, an online site dedicated to simply answering questions!  I decided to do a video post answering one of the questions I got there, so I hope you enjoy it.  If you have any follow up questions or anything else that you would want me to answer (either on the form or as a video response), hit up the comments, or just post over at formspring. Enjoy!

A normal workout this morning at Cardinal got my mind thinking – we all need help.

Agree? Disagree? Why do think people don’t ask for help/assistance on important things, and what do you think we can do to help us overcome that? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
