Portland Financial Executive Portraits…

January 15, 2012 – 12:08 am

So my favorite financial planner was in the studio yesterday for an updated photo for his website and various social media uses. We talked beforehand about the feel and emotional impact he wanted the images to convey.  He said: Accessibility, confidence, warmth. And from that, it was my job to interpret it into a visual representation. [...]

Clowning around in the studio…

February 3, 2010 – 12:25 pm

Mimi the Clown came to the studio recently for some promo shots and to help me out with a few images for my new book on Canon Speedlites. After she got into costume we did various poses showing a range of her expressions. The original plan was to do some shots outside in the fading [...]

Studio Portrait with A Twist…

August 28, 2009 – 3:17 pm

Had a floor covering client in the studio this week that wanted a variation over a standard studio portrait. He wanted something like a trade show/showroom feel that he could use for his marketing and web sites along with some social networking. After discussing a variety of ways to do it, we incorporated a banner [...]

May 12, 2009 – 10:54 am

Trekked up to Everett, Washington last weekend to do a lighting workshop for the Fire and Rain Glass Bead Society. After a long drive it was great to pull in and see so many smiling faces.

Lensbaby…yeah baby!

March 21, 2009 – 11:42 pm

I must admit the Lensbaby look just didn’t fit my style, or so I thought. Until I shot with the new Composer. OMG, have you ever had you head slapped up against a wall, in a good way? Everything they say about these unique marvels is true and the possibilities are really endless. It really [...]

Contractor & Commercial Site Photography…

September 10, 2008 – 9:20 pm

A couple of assignments from last week while I edit and tweak the images from the Johnson Family shoot this past weekend. I’m usually doing more sports and people-oriented stuff this time of year so a few opportunities to work outside in great weather are a welcome change of pace. Two very different clients with [...]

Alchemy Jewelry by David Iler…

May 27, 2008 – 1:28 pm

Recent studio shoot of some incredibly beautiful jewelry for an ad in Oregon Brides Magazine. No Brinks guards standing outside the studio door (they acually trust me with this stuff!) but one killer of a deadline. Somehow, when your backs against the wall, the brain clears and the path (read: lighting set-up) just appears! Love getting way [...]
