Sometimes, you find fun color in the most surprising of places. On this particular shoot, I came across this aging facility building, all closed up and lonely for the winter, but it had this deep blue metal loading dock door. I'd probably never pause to notice it in day to day passing, but there it was. I went back to gather Jean, Jessie, and James, and we must have walked a good ten minutes from one end of the park to the other, just to hang out at that silly blue door. I know my clients wonder what up I'm to sometimes. "It's a loading dock!". Sure, but give it a chance, and it's so much more.
There's so much hidden color out there to be discovered -- not just in buildings, but in people, too. Jean Claire and James shine with color aplenty, and now their slideshow is here to be shared and enjoyed.
Open 24/7, no cover charge, all shiny and new. Come on in!

If you are using high speed internet, like cable or DSL, give the "flash" version a shot. If your connection is slower, try the "html". Both offer the same content and information. The website is a great place to read about my style, review galleries of work, submit a question, and review pricing and package basics. The site will continue to evolve as new work is added, and I'm polishing up a feature that will make it easier for clients to review proofs and purchase prints.
This blog will continue to be the place to visit for the most recent updates and debuts of new work.
Thanks for looking!
Clients always like to know who they are doing business with. They desire to put a face with a .com. It instills confidence in the client, and demonstrates that you, as a business owner, are not afraid to step out and stand behind your brand.
Red Triangle Inc. recently embraced this thinking and commissioned portraits of themselves for their evolving business. This particular session was staged at one of their residences, and we worked to be creative with the residential surroundings, which were actually quite vibrant and full of color. I always like to include an interesting background and experiment with posing, something that will bring out personality and put a client at ease. During the shoot, we talked a lot about what makes a pleasing photograph, and how difficult it can be to sometimes let your guard down and be yourself in front of the camera. As always, the best pictures are snapped when the client does what feels natural to them -- laugh, smile, be serious -- be you!
Red Triangle specializes in problem solving and consultation. They are also developing some viable self-publishing solutions for writers looking to realize their work in print. I'd like to thank them for the session and their good nature, as well as our mutual friend, Barbara, for introducing us and recommending me for the assignment.
And soon enough, I'll be uploading my own picture. Practice what you preach, right?
