More Photography of/for Athletes

It's been a surprisingly busy December at the photo studio and on location. I've been doing a lot of fun portraiture for individuals and some cool business portraits too. The shot above is a quick out-take from my session with Chris, a minor league football player here in Denver. 

Hopefully within the first few weeks of January, 2009 you will be able to see more of what I've been working on at my Denver commercial and portrait photography web site :)

back to basics

This month has been a smattering of interesting and fun photo projects. I've done a little work photographing more high end homes for a building contractor, shot a few projects and spent a fun day at Channel 7 photographing their news anchors for an upcoming series of ads. 

People remain my favorite subjects. the shot above is a fun out-take from a session I did with David and Lyndsy - both personal trainers and amazing fitness competitors. I've got several fitness projects coming up and am looking forward to them all. More to come soon!

Kitchen Shopping Photography

I spent a few days with Saxton Construction photographing their remodeling projects and being very jealous of the kitchens and baths. Would any of you like to buy me a chef's kitchen? I make a mean pizza and you'll definitely be invited if you get me a nice double oven and 6 burner stove. Special thanks to all of the families who let us invade to photograph their house interiors and exteriors.

Animal Portraits

I've decided to take a new path and compete with Art Wolfe...maybe.  I'm convinced that our neighbors have a whole convenience store in their attic. This little guy/girl is always taking something up the drain pipe - whole tortillas, brownies, you know, squirrel food. 

I caught this shot just as I was unloading my photo gear from a location scouting gig. I got a pretty good kick from watching the critter have a meal. I discovered that the squirrel was from NYC when it eventually folded the slice in half, and took it to the roof to eat.

A Portrait of Serendipity

Several weeks ago I was shooting an assignment on a sweltering day in a downtown Denver parking lot. As the model changed clothes I huddled in the shadow of my light box to keep from melting and was approached by a great guy who had been watching part of our shoot. He explained that the liked how we were having fun and doing what looked like great shots and asked if I could photograph his daughter. Hall and her friend Jamie came by a few weeks to shot in my Denver studio with the intention of setting them apart from their peers at school. The examples above are two of my favorite photographs from the collection. Both were a joy to work with and we all had a lot of laughs. How'd we do?

Another Fun Portrait

Last week I did this fun shot for Denver's newest Jazz radio station KKHI-FM. We needed a fast shot in the studio for an article. Chuck was a blast and this is a new favorite example of a 20 minute portrait. We had everything set before he arrived, spent a few minutes shooting, chose the photo on the spot and had it off to the magazine within the hour. Be sure to give them a listen at www.khighdenver.com

I fail at blogging

I thought about putting up a note about how sorry I am for not posting, but instead I'm going to cheer that I haven't had a moment to breathe since August. I've been doing tons of portraiture with some really wonderful people. Check out this latest billboard for the morning crew at channel 2. What a nice group of people!
