52 Portraits : 4/52

I’m halfway trying to capture people in their element. I definitely caught Steve doing what he loves. We spent the evening downtown on Central Ave exploring the neon on Public Drug. Warmed up afterwards with Mac and cheese at Mighty…

52 Portraits : 3/52

(Almost) teen spirit. Still working through friends and family before moving on to portraits of strangers. Baby steps. You might recognize Mya from the metal-themed (that became a blue-themed) portrait from last year. She’s a trooper.

52 Portraits : 2/52

Sometimes good light just happens. Part of the goal of this project is to force myself to pay attention to light again. It’s easy to get caught up in being busy, so busy that we miss perfect opportunities for a…

Neewer LED Lights

I’ve always been a fan of constant lighting. Now that we can get LED light panels with adjustable color temperatures, I like it even more. I’ve been looking for some inexpensive LED panels for awhile, and of course Neewer came…

Kayla – September 2019

This Portland trip has been busier than most, but Kayla and I managed to carve out a couple hours for a quick shoot. It was a gorgeous day in Portland, so the window light was perfect. There’s something to be…
