WHO IS REESE BLAND?


A VISUAL DOCUMENTARIAN.

I see life as a composition, made up of countless narratives, moments, and perspectives. It is this outlook that drives me to create art that translates these inklings into a visual landscape.

Having grown up as a military b.r.a.t. my education was as varied as the places and people I've seen. I attended Washington University in Saint Louis and earned a BFA in Advertising Design, while producing and directing a live biweekly television program.

A TRUSTED MIND, AND EYE.

With over 20 years experience in broadcast television, I've excelled in roles that span the production gamut. This includes shooting, editing, and creating motion graphics packages for a PBS affiliate in Washington DC, and now as Technical Manager and Sr. Videographer for NOAA Studio.
I’ve freelanced as a camera operator for sports and live events, from WNBA and NCAA, to government and military conferences. As a photographer, I’ve brought a unique look to many conferences, rallies, and even shindigs.


A COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE.

My most important/impactful work is the voice that I hope to give those in the community, from partnering with grass-roots organizations to long standing civil rights stalwarts like the National Urban League. It is this work that I continue to do as life's mission and purpose, elevating the stories of those who are in an everyday struggle to thrive.

OUR POWERS COMBINED.

Let's work together to explore the vision that you have for yourself, your brand and your future to craft your best visual representation. I look forward to working with you!

Final stop on Friday's @dcartallnight tour was @artechouse. So many amazing visuals and interactive displays that celebrated creating art without using technology as a crutch, but an actual tool.
Next stop on Friday's @dcartallnight tour was @uptownmainstreet where @swapdc teamed up to showcase fashion and art.
@sokatribe pulled up for @dcartallnight in Petworth on Friday, and it was everything it needed to be.
