Tripping Safely...
Here's a couple of shots done last week for a relationship therapist showing a light and sound machine she uses in her practice. The visual challenge was to light the clinical setting in such a way as to convey the darkened, relaxing environment they are used in. These are the most unbelievably coolest tools I've ever used! Many years ago, on a break from shooting at a USTA convention, I took the plunge, laid on the couch and put this device on and for the next thirty minutes was whisked away to nirvana. Mind you, this was all in a booth on a convention floor during a trade show! There were many different colored LED's inside the glasses that pulse in rhythm to the New Age music (Ray Lynch) coming through the headphones. I returned to my assignment (awards ceremony) fully refreshed, totally alert and "in the zone". With no lunch! Amazing! Anyone else experience one of these awesome devices?
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!
