Working Portfolio Reel
In the time I have done photography, I have never really been able to describe a niche I fit into or felt was “right.” Some of my work(a lot, actually) was Zoo Photography while others was portraiture or candid. But there was always a style I was after, mainly higher contrast, a bit grittier and…

Dream Studio and Hara Allison
In early summer, I was able to assist a friend in a new studio, within Spokane. I fell in love immediately. Dream Studio on 2nd Ave is everything I could hope for in a creative space. There’s an industrial feel in peak through brick walls and a design aesthetic that catches the eye. The owner,…

Long Exposure and Late Nights
Spokane is all about seasons. Four of them, in fact. As such, summers tend to be long and warm , which is important when considering things like night markets and long exposures. We happened to catch a calm, slightly warm night, when going out to do long exposure photography. This included a group of local…

However, we did have center seats and the ability to enjoy the concert. The night started out with Apocalyptica…

Environmental Photo of a Classmate
On October first, we were sent out to take environmental portraits of classmates. The goal was to learn something about each other, but also to play with lighting and to practice Expositional photography, or environmental portraiture. For this photo, I photographed a classmate, and friend, LeAnn Johnson. Johnson enjoys artwork, though doesn’t get a lot…

Playing with Light and Location
While traversing the old, abandoned towns of Bodie and Molson, I realized some of the lighting being cast was beautiful and worth trying to use. I’ve learned, over the last year, especially, that I am much stronger at utilizing strobe than I am at using natural light. As such, I am working to utilize natural…

Okanagan County Ghost towns
We left town early morning, driving through small towns, open lands, and mountain passes. Our first real stop: Bodie, WA. But to get there, we had to travel through Sherman Pass. Entering the pass was startling. The area is surrounded by forest, however, the forest was fire touched, and all that was remaining were acres…
