My good friend and former study abroad trip director, Brett Paschal, asked me to take some photos of the ensemble he directs - Lewis & Clark's Wind Symphony. The students were all dressed in their performance attire and I had a lot of fun weaving between them while they played and trying to be as creative as possible with my angles. #Performance #Music #Promotional #LewisClark #College #Portraits
So this was my first time shooting a dance and it was... an experience. The music was pretty good, provided by three student DJs: Kevin Fox, Tommy Massari, and Taig Panzer, but at one point, the Black Box in the Fir Acres Theatre (where the indoor portion of the dance was happening) became so humid that I had to stop shooting because my lens fogged up so much that I couldn't see and at other times a few students who were having a little too much fun tried to grab at my camer
I think I'm definitely starting to come into my own style as far as headshots go - they certainly became a much bigger thing for me this year. I know I don't charge quite as much as some other headshot photographers, but having my work be accessible and affordable is important to me. After all, even though the actors and musicians who need these aren't always able to pay top dollar, they should still be able to get nice shots. #Headshots #Portraits #Music #Theatre
I was put in touch with Greg Homza, the Director of Musical Ministries the First Presbyterian Church through my good friend Amy who is a choral scholar in the group. She informed me that they would be giving a really great concert as part of their Celebration Works series, the highlights of which would be Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna and Fauré's Requeim, and wondered whether I would be able to take some photos of the performance. Being a choral singer myself, I jumped at the exc
So my friend Leslie who I sang with in college is now the Operations and Development Manager for Cappella Romana, one of my favorite choirs in Portland, and she recently asked me to take some photos for Taverna, their new program for patrons under 40 that in addition to discount $15 tickets also includes access to post-concert events with food and drink discounts - the first round is on them! #Music #Commercial #Church #ChoralMusic
Colin hired me to do a branding session for the release of his new song, The Days and the Nights. We met downtown in the early morning by this cool empty lot that I've always wanted to shoot in before changing locations to the Portland Waterfront. The shoot went great - be sure to check out his other stuff here! #Branding #Music #Guitar #Downtown #Portland #Brick #Industrial
But Ted, aren't boudoir sessions usually for women? Yes, invisible reader, yes they are. And while Stan and I didn't plan a boudoir session outright (originally anticipating more of a trumpet portrait thing), I can't think of what else to call this because his bedroom eyes and that brass instrument were just too sexy in retrospect for us to call it anything else. We shot inside Lewis & Clark's Frank Manor House, the center of administrative life on campus, but also a beaut
So people are paying me to take pictures now. That's pretty cool! I haven't had a ton of experience with headshots yet, but I think some of these turned out fairly good. In retrospect, a couple of them are really more of portraits than headshots, but I think I'm alright with that. #Headshots #Theatre #Music #Portraits
