Break with Tradition

The phrase "traditional portraits" brings to mind the formal shots in front of either mottled or fake scenic backgrounds, using lighting formulas per an age-old tradition. I don't wear medals and do not need any sort of title. Nor do I wish to be part of such a club. It's fine to learn some lighting formulas and adhere to them to make consistent images, but I am not part of that society.

I believe that each image should be unique to the subjects in front of my camera. Over many years I have experimented played, tested and fought with different ways to bring my subjects into their best light. All of this experimentation has developed my photographic vocabulary. Every new person I work with brings a fresh opportunity to create something very special for and unique to them.

I don't have pre-set, cookie-cutter lighting scenes, nor do I treat clients like cattle to be herded through some type of photo mill. The finished image is heavily influenced by the personality of the sitter. Your photo session will be light-hearted and fun. The more comfortable a person is, the more authentic and personal that image will be.

Upon Reflection...

I just had a fantastic interview with Ron Davis for a podcast that will be posted soon at http://www.glamourapprentice.com/podcast. I will post the direct link once it's live. I was asked some surprising, interesting and philosophical questions regarding my approach and outlook as an artist and photographer.

I can't get over how much that helped me to reflect and to reach within to illustrate why I do what I do, why I do it how I do, and how I view others' work. I think that's an exercise I will perform myself at regular intervals, or especially when I get frustrated in any way.

I had no problem vocalizing my appreciation for the wide variety of models that I work with. Each one is special and each brings out something new in me. I seek to glorify what makes each of them wonderful to me.

I sincerely appreciate that Ron reached out to me for this podcast and am humbled by the chance to share my philosophy with others.

New Work

Good shoots lately.
