Musician Photography...
Can't really divulge what it's for, but I shot some cool stuff for the band this week and here's a few outtakes. There has always been a close metaphorical link between music and photography which may explain why I always enjoy hanging around and working with musicians. Ansel Adams even once remarked, "the negative is the score, and the print is the performance". Whatever it is, I've often found when speaking about mood, drama and timing in photography, that musicians just seem to 'get it'!
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!
