Digital Field Guides by Portland Oregon Photographer Brian McLernon…

Two new Digital Field Guides on Canon camera and flash technologies were debuted this month by Wiley Publishing and I am stoked after all the work to finally see them in print! Find them both here on Amazon.

Jenna Fallon Make-up rocks…

I was reunited recently with a makeup artist I had worked with a year or so ago on a Nike shoot with distance runner, Kara Goucher. Jenna had called to reconnect and it was perfect timing because the scheduled makeup artist cancelled that day before my shoot for INUR magazine the next day. I quickly hooked her [...]

Glass Photography Lighting Workshop…

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. We had a great location and set up multiple lighting scenarios with different backgrounds and even though I showed [...]

Interior Design Photography…

Shot a beautiful addition to a Lake Oswego home last week for the designer and the contractor for portfolios and contest submissions. We scheduled it for the perfect time to match up the exterior sky with the interior lighting and I think we hit it pretty good. The only problem shooting RAW @ f/22 on [...]

The Fantastic Fantasy World of Rick Moore…

Arguably one of my favorite fine-art photography clients is Rick Moore and his cool and quirky fantasy creatures. His latest one, “Octohands” was created in 2006 and he recently completed the patina and brought it by the studio for his portfolio. Weighing in at a little over 90 pounds, it’s 3/4 life size and was a little daunting [...]

Equestrian Portraits…

Had a cool assignment to shoot portraits for an equestrian club last Sunday. Even though we were in a covered arena, it rained like crazy and the fiberglass roof made the rain loud! One Speedlite, camera right, gelled CTO, then color balanced for that, shot through a small white umbrella.

Artwork Photography…

Had a quick shoot in the studio yesterday for sculptue artist Tim Tanner. This horse was made from all sorts of found objects: springs, wheels, gears, struts, even a meat grinder is in there somewhere!

Contractor & Commercial Site Photography…

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 [...]

Trade Magazine Cover…

Recent cover shot for an industrial trade magazine story on RFID technology. These guys are standing in a bay doorway that part suppliers drive little carts through (ding-dings, they call them for the sound they make) and the RFID gear reads barcodes from the part bins and keeps an up to the minute inventory. Once [...]

Tire Photography…

An innovative tire company here in Portland tracks me down once a year or so to photograph their latest designs. Very often I’m working with prototypes and sworn to secrecy! They usually like the logos highlighted to show off the brand.
