Seattle Corporate Event Photography: Tasting In The Dark with Coppola Wines
Last night is a great example of why I love being a corporate event photographer. Start-up companies sometimes use something called “Blue Sky Thinking.” Shortly, it means that you have no limits.

Sometimes. Sometimes I get to be a part of an event that really just feels good. Last week one one of those times. As part of their corporate giving, Hyundai (yes, the Korean car maker) has established the Hope On Wheels program to benefit Pediatric Cancer Research.

CONCACAF Gold Cup Event Photography – Part 3: Planning The Gear
I get lots of questions about my photography. I like answering them. The #1 place people look at my photos are on their phones (websites, social media, etc), and the #1 tool I use to show people my photos (in person) is my phone. The #1 question I get about the photos is “Did you…

Making The Shot: Skagen Watch
I saw it – I loved it – I wanted to take a picture of it. The mesh strap, the carbon fiber background, the small pops of color on this Skagen Watch… Yeah, let’s do this. First, let’s talk set-up. I really wanted to go minimal on this one. 1 light, no special equipment, kitchen…
