Casual Business Head Shots

In Business, Head Shot, Photography, Portrait on September 7, 2013 at 8:41 AM

I got the chance to work with Beate recently doing some company head shots. Everyone was so welcoming in her work place and it was a pleasure getting the opportunity to make these images. We were striving for professional, welcoming and a little creative. Here’s a sneak peek. ♥

The Angel Oak

In Art, landscape, local artist, Photography on September 4, 2013 at 7:03 PM

One of my clients today was originally from CT and now lives in FL. We spoke for a few minutes about travel and where our favorite places have been. I’ve lived and traveled all over the country and can find something good to say about every stop along my journey. I will say the two Portland’s – OR and ME both caught my attention before I opened the studio here in CT – and I think I will live on the coast of Maine one day. Our chat got me reflecting on all the traveling I did while teaching myself photography – and specifically about the Angel Oak. It lives on Johns Island in South Carolina and is one of the largest and oldest living things on the east coast. One image that I made during my travels (see it here has been a popular seller for me. I searched through my archives and reworked another photo from that journey. The person was left in the image to give you a small idea of the size of this beautiful tree. What’s one of your favorite places?

Making something new, old … tin type [ish] photograph

In Art, art portraiture, local artist, Photography, Portrait on August 20, 2013 at 6:09 PM

If I had my way, the money, the resources, etc most of my photography would be made using old processes. It’s not that I’ve done then so much as I admire the craft. The risk. The patience. The time invested. The skill that has to be developed. This is my first attempt at giving a nod to tin type, digitally. The first image is one I took last week, with something like this in mind. A Lensbaby Composer was used to give the natural hazy/blurry feel.  I quite like it as is and enjoy the mood that’s created with all the texture layers. Which one speaks to you the  most?

Art Portraiture

I love doing this kind of work. I’ve begged a friend recently to move closer to help me do more of this. She builds sets for plays and I’d love to create some for photographs.
