I had the opportunity to spend a few days in the studio during the fall of 2015 to photograph several new products being released by Innovative Arms a South Carolina based manufacturer of firearm silencers including their new Slingshot Rimfire Suppressor.

Flashnick Visuals had the opportunity to photograph this product in studio on October 20, 2015 for the SHOT Show 2016 product launch.The Slingshot Micro consists of a patented 3-piece design, measures 3.9″ in length, weighs in at 5.7oz, and is rated for 35-38 Db of sound suppression (dry) when firing .22 LR (full auto), .17HMR, .17 Mach II, .22 Magnum, and 5.7×28.
A few weeks ago I spent the day at firearm manufacturer PTR Industries in Aynor, SC during an editorial photography and video assignment for our client USA Today.
Aynor, SC — GunsRelocated: When Connecticut and New York passed strict gun laws following the 2012 Newtown massacre, some gun-makers firmly rooted in the heart of the firearm industry made life and business-altering decisions. They left. In their pursuit of cheap land and deep tax breaks offered by friendly suitors from South Carolina, Texas and Nevada, they have been forced to contend with new challenges: finding skilled workers from the plentiful pool left behind in the so-called “New England Gun Valley’’ and new distribution channels to get their products to market.– Photo by Brett Flashnick, Freelance
