Meet Michael

It's been a busy 1st quarter so I'm going to trickle in some of the projects for you to see. First I'd like you to meet Michael, music producer extraordinaire. We did a session in my denver photography studio to create a headshot that would stand out from the crowd of corporate gray backgrounds. Michael, like many of my clients, also wanted something that would allow him leeway on social media to project a contemporary image that was still professional.

Fitness Photographer in Denver

Technically this photo shoot took place in the last moments of 2009, but thanks to a delightfully busy schedule I'm just now bringing it your way. Meet Brian, cover model, fitness guru and natural body builder. Brian came to visit from Phoenix and we were able to capture some great studio shots. Next time we'll get the weather right so we're shooting in AZ when it's -11 in Denver. Cold or no it was a blast. Thanks Brian!

photography for social media

Happy 2010. So far I couldn't ask for a better start. I had the pleasure of photographing the creative geniuses behind L.A. based Eclipse Productions this week. They're a young, hip and growing company with a number of online presences. We were able to plan our vision for the shoot to capture a wide range of photos of each of the principles for use in a variety of online applications. Because their company spans many genre's it was essential that we create photographs appropriate to each online venue.

Does your online image convey what you need or have you even gone as far as one client and simply scanned your id badge? Swing by to see my work as a business and corporate photographer and drop a line. I'd love to help you create an image library appropriate for all of your online needs and for those of you heavy into social networking we can even create a library to allow you to change your profile photo with your mood, marketing campaign or the day of the week!

Another Dance photo

Dance Photography

There are few days that pass without at least a dozen photo ideas intruding on my thoughts. This week seems to be producing a bumper crop. I've spent the week doing corporate headshot photography for Wachovia, an engineering firm and this attempt at freeing some of my ideas from the confines of my brain.

This photo, like the motion blur car shot below was created entirely in camera. Special thanks to Lauren for her talent and doing it "exactly like that with one change" 20 times.
