100 Nights Project | Night 4

Awhile back on a scout for locations for senior shoots, I discovered that the industrial area in NE Portland that we had previously visited on Night 3 actually had a lot more going on for it a little further down the road than we had ventured. So this time I went back with Kevin, Mark, and Jos.  We had a great time photographing this spot.

Fourth of July Along the Willamette River

Fourth of July on the Portland, Oregon waterfront. Hope everyone had a nice fourth! Melissa and I didn’t really get our act together in time to be social, but we do live within walking distance to the fireworks which is pretty cool. This year I attempted to spice up my normal attempt at photographing the explosions by doing some stuff with my tilt/shift lens, purposely out of focus stuff, and some light trails.

100 Nights Project | Night 3

Twilight  rural, and rural industrial night exposures in Dundee, Oregon. On this particular night, the shoot probably could have better been titled 100 Twilights, as most of the photos we took were before the sun went down.  Mark and I had headed south to meet our friend Kevin in Dundee, which is a rural area about an hour outside of Portland.  We learned a few things that day.  First, the coolest things to potentially photograph are on private property or in an area where you can’t easily pull over.  Second, people in Dundee are obsessed with stopping and asking you if you need an ambulance.  And third, the police once they have established you are not trying to start an Al Qaeda terror cell in rural Oregon, and pretty interested in photography in general.

Punta Cana Dominican Republic Trash the Dress | Shannon & John

Dominican Republic trash the dress session on the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana! What’s mildly ironic is I usually call our “trash the dress” sessions “day after sessions,” because most brides aren’t typically that interested in putting their dress too much into harms way for photos. Truth be told very rarely is a dress actually completely trashed, even if you are as brave as Shannon and ready to dive into the Caribbean. Personally I think for a garment you spend so much money on, why not get to wear it more than once? We really enjoyed getting to hang out with Shannon and John the day after their wedding, and exploring some of the sights on the beautiful beaches of Punta Cana!
