I had the opportunity to work with a new model earlier this week. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to work with a new collaborative model. It’s not like hiring someone for a commercial shoot where the outcomes are clearly identified prior to showing up. It’s more of a, “show up and see if we have... Continue Reading →
It’s not unusual to get snow in April, but I’m over it. Looking forward to spring rain and slightly warmer temperatures. I’ve got a whole list of things to get done around the house this summer, and I’m itching to get started.
Definitely don't see the point of having "Stories" in a WordPress website. I'll leave this one up to remind myself not to do it again. 🙂 What is the obsession with stories, anyway? If I'm going to take the time to post something, I don't want it disappearing at some point. I don't think (?)... Continue Reading →
It's that time of the year again. And somehow this year was weirder than 2019. Fewer photos taken, dancing around Covid, my first 52 Portraits project (more on that later.) It was just another strange year for me and photography. So lets break it down a bit... 20192020Total Images8,7956,957Most Used CameraSony A7R M3Sony A7R M3Most... Continue Reading →
This isn't a usual blog post. It isn't well-written, or as thorough as it could be. It's just a collection of thoughts I jotted down over the last couple of weeks with Covid. I just want it to exist somewhere. Regardless of where you stand on the disease, or the politics that unfortunately surround it,... Continue Reading →
I'm halfway trying to capture people in their element. I definitely caught Steve doing what he loves. https://danielhedrick.smugmug.com/52portraits/52-Portraits-2020/i-dBgrD4d/A We spent the evening downtown on Central Ave exploring the neon on Public Drug. Warmed up afterwards with Mac and cheese at Mighty Mo. Steve leaves for a new adventure in a week, so I'm glad we... Continue Reading →
There’s a great little brewery down under the St. John’s bridge called Occidental. Across the courtyard from it is an awesome wursthaus by the name of Urban German. They put on a perfectly-sized Octoberfest. There are just enough people to make it a party without being so packed you can’t walk around.
Great Falls can sometimes feel a little… behind. Culturally. Don’t get me wrong—I love this town, but it needs a little something. We’re starting to get some awesome local restaurants, and this past weekend, I watched several artists paint amazing murals on buildings downtown. My buddy owns Speaking Socially, so I spent most of my... Continue Reading →
We had talked about doing a shoot almost two years ago, but hadn't actually had the opportunity until recently. Lisa is an awesome person with no modeling experience, but she still made my job easy. We wandered around the Ulm area, then headed up to the First Peoples' Buffalo Jump. It was great to finally... Continue Reading →
Kayla had some ideas for a towel shot, so we figured we'd make a whole boudoir shoot out of it. It's been awhile since I've done a shoot like this, but we figured it out. Kayla rocked it, as always, and we ended up with some great images. The window light was great, but we... Continue Reading →
I have a tendency to overbook myself when I come to Portland. Obviously, I want to spend as much time as possible with family, but there are other people I need to see when I'm here, too. My three favorite models are some of those people. I have a shoot with all three planned for... Continue Reading →
It's Western Art Week in Great Falls, and a buddy of mine asked me to help with the Quick Draw event of the Out West Art Show at the Heritage Inn. When I agreed, I didn't realize Supaman would be performing. I'm glad I always have my camera with me--I'd have been pissed if I... Continue Reading →
