Tasty Good Times at Besaw’s
I’m starting to believe that fate exists. About five and half years ago, my wife and I were visiting Portland to decide if we wanted to move here from Virginia. Both of us love eating out and breakfast is one of my favorite meals. If we were going to relocate to Portland, it better have [...]
How’d You Do That? Travel Portland Edition
If you happen into any local hospitality destination, you might see the above shot I took for Travel Portland. Art Directed by the incredibly talented Thomas Cobb, this slick city tour guide magazine really stands out. I know we keep them in our house for years to show out of town guests what all the [...]
Parliament World Headquaters – Interiors Magazine
This is great example of when photos going viral is a good thing. For about a month, it seemed everyone in the world was stoked on Parliament’s office space. I lost track of the number of blogs it went up on, but some of the big ones were Design*Sponge, Graphic-ExchanGE, and Contemporist. This led to [...]
Branch Science – Portland Monthly January 2010
I really liked how this feature shoot came out in the January 2010 issue of Portland Monthly. Art directed by Michael Novak, the two of us first drove down to Corvallis, OR to photograph OSU scientist Steve Strauss in his grove of genetically modified trees. The trees in the above shot have been engineered so [...]
Gourmet Magazine. October 2009. Page 91.
Au Revoir Gourmet Magazine. I happen to have a little shot in the latest and final issue Gourmet. Since I probably won’t be able to get a digital tearsheet, here’s the shot that ran as part of a story on Restaurants Worth The Money. For Portland, Pok Pok was featured and they highlighted this delicious [...]
Parliament Interiors
Back in my early web design days, I worked in this tiny 800 square foot office with five other guys whose ages ranged from 21 to 60. Our wood laminate desks were back to back in rows, so you felt isolated even though you were two feet away. We had a white drop ceiling with [...]
Imbibe Magazine – Summer Beers
Had some fun with a ring flash and gridded softboxes to shoot this collection of fine summer brews for Imbibe Magazine’s July/August 09 issue. The goal of this shoot was to make the beer really pop off the page and look super crisp. A ring flash is used for fashion a lot, so it had [...]
Portland Monthly July 09 Cover
For the cover and feature opener of this month’s Portland Monthly, I traveled to Oxbow Park in Greasham, OR. The model in the shot is famed sport kayaker (and heck of a nice guy) Sam Drevo of eNRG Kayak. I’ve met Sam a couple years ago at the Portland RedBull Illume opening. When I got [...]
Bergren Rameson’s Paper Project
I first met the incredibly gifted stylist Bergren Rameson last year on a shoot for Home magazine. I was amazed by how easy she made propping look with such fantastic results. We were shooting a house for a holiday issue and Bergren put together and fully decorated a 12-ft Christmas Tree in about and hour [...]
Portland Spaces Summer 2009 Cover Feature & More
Hot of the press, the latest issue of Portland Spaces features some beautiful interiors and furniture from Portland based designers. I had the pleasure to photograph two stories for this issue and both turned out fantastic. It also gave me a glimpse into the design scene here in Portland and I have to say it [...]
April-May Portland Spaces
Here are some tearsheets from the April-May 09 issue of Portland Spaces. The first three are for the Spacemakers section called Good Life. It features the home of Stephanie Sheldon-Nevarez (who I shot a year ago for Portland Monthly) and Thomas Nevarez. Stephanie owns a great post modern antique store called Noun and their house [...]
B is for… Barbour
Had to do it. It’s not often a feature story you photograph starts with a big letter of your last name. In this case, the March 09 cover feature of Portland Monthly start’s with the title,”B is for Bacon”. This food piece was an awesome assignment to shoot. Not only did I discover many of [...]
DLR Group Columbia Gorge Community College Hood River Center-Indian Creek Campus
Staying true to my promise of posting every job I shoot this year, here’s something I wrapped up in January. The Columbia Gorge Community College Hood River Center-Indian Creek Campus is a 24,000 SF building designed by DLR Group to welcome students from all walks of life. The building features a huge fireplace that creates [...]
Cover Feature in Spaces Magazine
The Windsor Court project I photographed for Jessica Helgerson has definitely got some legs. Besides for making the rounds on various blogs (including Design*Sponge), it’s been published several times in magazines all over the world. So far, it’s been featured in Portland Monthly (US), Home Beautiful (Australia), and now the photographs are running as a [...]
Raw Family for Natural Health
My assistant Dan and I traveled to Ashland, OR to photograph this assignment for the July issue of Natural Health. The Boutenkos (or Raw Family as they are more commonly known) live a pure raw food diet and were super cool! They made us feel really welcome in their home and gave us some cool [...]
May/June Desirables in Portland Spaces
I had a lot of fun shooting this one with Jen Davison and Rachel DeSchepper for Portland Spaces. The shot’s really about the product, but there’s so much life in Joanna’s face that it really makes it something special. I also love the bold color tones all complimenting each other. Fun stuff!
3 Full Page Spreads in April Portland Monthly
April was a great month for me in Portland Monthly. I shot three full page spreads, two for the April issue and one for the Northwest Golf annual special edition that came with the issue. Here are the tearsheets.
Big Spread in Portland Spaces Premier Issue
It’s not often you get to shoot a feature for the premier of a new magazine. But, that’s just what I did this month. Portland Spaces launched on January 10th, 2008. The Portland home + lifestyle focused magazine features some great articles on homes, design, green living, and products. For my piece “Desirables”, we shot [...]
December Gigs
Fall was very busy around here and it all culminated with a big month of published work in December. I was in four separate magazines and also shot all the photography for a website for a new commercial client (I did the web design and code, too. Yeah, I geek out like that sometimes). Here’s [...]
Latest Gigs
Rentrak Corporation – 2007 Portraits I owe a big thank you to Portland Monthly for this one. I shot Paul Rosenbaum, CEO for Rentrak, for the July issue of Portland Monthly (here’s an outtake from it). It really impressed the folks over at Rentrak and they hired me to photograph all their executives. Their biggest [...]
