Tacoma Portraits

I recently headed down to Tacoma to take a couple portraits of artists as part of my ongoing series. Jeremy Gregory has a studio space downtown with an entrance right onto the sidewalk. I set up my background and lights at the front entrance so that people walking by could stop and watch the shoot. After about 20 minutes of shooting I invited in three really enthusiastic viewers.

Here are some images from the shoot:

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a new series of portraits. These people are artists, writers, and all around interesting people. Here are a few.

This is Bob. He’s a tribal and folk art dealer.

This is Henry, he makes murals that you can see all over Seattle.

This is Johnny. He’s writing a book about the early years of the Beatles.

Headshots and Branding

I recently did some headshots for a local realtor, Joseph Witt. It sounded like an interesting job since Joseph wanted imagery to re-brand himself in a way that didn’t conform to the average corporate portrait on white. We found some interesting locations with lots of natural light and got some good images in just 90 minutes.
