Business Photography and Portraits...
A composite of three separate, 1/3 page ads I shot for a client on a theme about choices, flavors and styles. A nice change of pace to conceptualize with the clients and flesh out some images. A lot of Photoshop was involved for the apples and ice cream as you might have suspected. It is so much fun to have a client present to you a project that you can sink your teeth into on so many levels; concept, imaging, digital manipulation, corrections, and fianally, delivery. And when you hit it and they're happy? Oh, man...!
Very often, my assignments include group shots of employees of small companies or clinics, as in this case. It is usually a challange to make it new and exciting, especially when a large prop's appearance in the shot is mandatory. Using my camera bag to secure my light stand in a fairly good wind, I managed to fire off about twenty frames, this one their selection, and the best of the lot.
Portrait today in the studio, a personal trainer with a whole lot of energy, a lively personality, and new to the area. If you are ready to step it up a notch and work with a really cool, supportive person in the Portland area, give me a call and I'll hook you up.
I am a commercial photographer based in Portland, Oregon, USA. Originally from NJ, educated in AZ, PA, & NY, I moved to Oregon in 1996, shooting primarily advertising, editorial and lifestyle; weddings, portraits, products, locations , seniors, sports, reunions and special events, capturing moments and telling visual stories.
Partial client list includes: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Caldwell College, CBS Records, Coates & Clark, Danskin, EC Company, Exxon, Johnson & Johnson, The Lawrenceville School, Lionel Trains LLC, Manos del Uruguay, Manufacturers Hanover, McCarter Theatre, McNeil Pharmaceuticals, Mid-Atlantic Country Magazine, New Jersey Outdoors Magazine, Nike, Northwest Sports Photography, Paragon Tile & Stone, Platt Electric, Premiere Homes Magazine, Pfizer, Sierra Club, Sprint, Tower Records, Weldotron.
Often I'm asked to be a guest speaker for art associations, communication/business groups and I always enjoy speaking to student groups as well. When not photographing in the studio or on location, I have fun with my wife and daughter, family and friends, camping, traveling, rafting, cross-country & downhill skiing, and photographing nature & motorsports!
