Just One Eye

I typically work hard to make sure that both eyes are visible in my portraits. But...I just really liked this one for some reason. I'd love some CC, does the single eye stare work, or would you have had her brush her hair back?

Magic Hour Session

I realized that I always steered clients toward portrait sessions in the late afternoon or as close to sunset as they would allow. This led to a new portrait offering: magic hour sessions. Clients who agree to sessions close to sunset are rewarded with the most gorgeous light.

Have you tried offering this type of session to your clients...

Young Love

I did a shoot this weekend and the young man really wanted a few shots with his girlfriend. At the end of the afternoon, with the sun setting through the trees, besides a crumbling industrial complex, I got one last shot that I think really captured what the young man requested.

Renaissance Festival Portraits

I love photographing at the Renaissance Festivals as there are some awesome characters and events. It is challenging at the same time as you have limited time with a subject or events can happen quickly and you need to be ready at all times. Background control is always a challenge as there are a lot of people dressed in regular clothes that...

C O F F E E B R E A K

This is a portrait of my friend Frances in a coffee shop during a recent trip I made to Abuja.
She says the weirdest things and has a healthy sense of humour.

I remember rather distinctly a cab trip involving quizzed glances from the driver in the rear view mirror, fighting his disbelief, desperately asking his eyes to corroborate...

My Veteran Project

As a Vietnam vet myself and a member of two military aviator groups, I decided that these guys need better photos. Most have not had a real portrait done since graduation from flight school - if eve then. Here is one of about thirty I have done so far. Some are putting on their uniforms, most I huts ask them to arrive with dark shirts. If they...

Looking for feedback

This is my 1st take a sports photography, I know some things can be a little better, but you live and learn!
Anyone have some tips or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, I am going for the faded grunge look with these photos. Trying to offer something more than your typical 'take a knee' shoot.

Bonneville Salt Flats At Dusk

The Bonneville Salt Flats is truly an awesome place. With the wildfires out west, the smoky skies produce some unexpected colors during sunset and just after sunset when this photo was taken. Everything takes on a sort of pastel hue.

This photo was taken just after the sun dipped using a single speed light through a 43 inch umbrella...
