A photographer can be asked to capture a vast array of people, places, and things. Usually, they all fall into the normal realm. You can throw normal out the window when a comedian books you for a couple hours. Enter Stephen, a comedian regularly found generating laughs in the Bellingham area. I actually first saw [...]
Meet the Williams family. I had the pleasure of shooting the group a week or so ago in their local neighborhood park in Federal Way. They were fun to shoot, very easy-going family. The park was quite pleasant, it gave us lots of options for some nice compositions. I will also run with places that [...]
Shooting in a white seamless environment, a standard for modeling and product photography portfolios, is a pretty straight forward process. Throw a subject on a huge sheet of white paper, light the model, light the white paper to blow it out white, creating a white abyss around your subject. I’ve shot seamless for years, it’s [...]
I’ve been trying to work more children photos into my portfolio, and had a fun idea. A shoot like this really pays off when you put in the extra prep work. Having finalized the fairy concept for the two girls, we set out for fairy outfits. We ended up ordering costumes off of a year-round [...]
Last weekend was the first annual Ryan Stiles Golf Classic event, held up in the always pleasent Bellingham, WA. It was a fundrasing effort with all proceeds going towards the Burned Children Recovery Foundation. The weekend was kicked-off Friday evening with a soldout comedy show with Ryan and the rest of the ‘Whose Line’ cast. [...]
Beautiful Taylor, pictured above, recently joined with a model agency. She was in need of some photos with emphasis on just her to use for her portfolio. Nothing distracting, simple, nice head/model shots. Originally she wanted to do this on white seamless. Seamless is great and all, but… it’s nothing special, everyone does it. In [...]
I love dramatic lighting, I just do. Maybe that’s why I’m not a huge wedding shooter, cause it’s not really my style, and I doubt many brides want to look like batman standing in the middle of a dark alley in Gotham City, as cool as I think that might be. While that [...]
Ok… so we are shooting on-location. Woah, hold on. What does “on-location” even mean?! That all depends on you, the photographer, or you, the client who has hired a photographer. A lot of new photogs out there will toss around words like “on-location” to describe in a round-about way of saying they don’t use lighting. [...]
The picture above, which can only be described as pure awesomeness, is of little one and half year-old Brennan. The Barnes asked me to capture a family portrait while they had the growing family all in one spot for the week. An extremely sweet group, they were great to work with. We selected a spot [...]
Yep, that’s my super intelligent title for this post. Sorry, I’m kinda at a loss for this one. The resulting pictures from this shoot are actually for the Emergency Food Network. They have a harvest every year where they grow their own food for the food donation cause. The EFN team want me to capture [...]
A few months back, when we did the calendar project for Smokin’ Hot Espresso, we also designed a punch card for each girl using the photography from the calendar shoots. Each girl then had an individual card to hand out to repeat customers, they’ve been a big hit. They’ve had a three more girls join [...]
Another shoot with Tiare Floral Design in the books. Tomasi, the designer, always amazes me with his work. It’s fun when two artists who come from two completely different fields collaborate on projects. You get double the art, an… art-in-art if you will. Tomasi’s work pushes me at times with lighting, giving me a challenge, [...]
