Veteran Visions

Introduction: I was a public relations broadcast/print journalist and combat photographer/videographer in the US Army. I was assigned and responsible for all video and photography production for the 3rd Brigade Combat Team 82nd Airborne Division. The 3BCT 82nd ABN DIV is very famous for its many exploits, most notably in WWII on D-Day and being the only brigade in the division to deploy to Vietnam. They also were in Operation Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and deployed countless times to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq, in 2008-09. I was part of a two-man team responsible for all media operations, international public relations, and video/photography production. While deployed, I often went on missions as the photographer and the videographer. My missions ranged anywhere from a regular street patrol to humanitarian missions, handing out wheelchairs to disabled Iraqi children, and intense high-pressure midnight/predawn raids on villages or neighborhoods to capture or kill HVTs or high-value targets. I also did massive event photography for ceremonies, Iraqi Police graduations, Iraqi Army events/ training, and a month-long soccer tournament culminating in a final tournament in Iraq's Shaab stadium, where for the first time in history, the Iraqi Army played a championship game against an all-American US Army team form our Brigade Combat Team. ESPN's Sports Center pulled a thirty-second clip from my video for their show. So when I say I can perform any photography or videography job better than anyone else out there in my career field, it's the truth, simply because I have a vast amount of experience you can't get. I filmed/documented over 5,000 hours in a Combat Zone, so for any job you have, I'm the man for it. I can perform the job of two to three people by myself, and I guarantee my price will be lower, because I do this mostly for the love of my passion and to further my skill. Whatever the other photographer's price is, I'll do it for $100 less, even if their price is $100; that's my guarantee, and if you're not 100% satisfied with my work, all the work I did will be free of charge. So any event you have, however big or small, from your one-year-old's birthday party to a full-length feature film, I'm the man for the job; hire a combat veteran. You'll feel good about it, I promise; call me to talk about details. I'm available for Monday-Saturday work, and Sundays are no exceptions. Mitch Taylor Veteran Visions
