CREATIVE PORTRAITS

I’m a portrait photographer who loves to create moody, unique and personality filled images. I Common requests are for artist portraits, album covers, modeling portfolios or branding images. I love working with people to come up with unique concepts, the collaboration is what makes these projects come alive!

These are images that goes beyond the standard portrait. It’s a create way to some color and vibrancy to images, to express your creativity. I shoot on 35mm and medium format film as well a digital. For something truly unique, I offer double exposures on film. I primarily work in Portland but am available for travel.

The Collaboration Process

These projects tend to involve more pre-production. Here’s a brief overview of the process.

  1. Send me an email and we’ll set up a call to talk through the details. Take a moment to write some things down so you can be prepared for the call. Do you have an overview of your vision? A feeling you want to capture? An environment that suits it best?

  2. During our call we’ll talk through location options, props, colors and references.

  3. To reserve the shoot I’ll need a 50% deposit. Pricing for these projects is variable, due to the nature of the shoots, so we’ll talk about budget on our first phone call. I accept most payment methods. If the weather prevents us from shooting we’ll reschedule, free of charge.

  4. Send me a mood board! I’ll create my own for the shoot, but I would love to see examples what images you’re drawn to. This really helps me deliver images you’ll love.

  5. On the day of the shoot we’ll dive right in - giving you the time and encouragement to feel good in front of the camera, try different outfits and explore different ideas.

  6. I edit the full gallery, minus the bad ones! I edit creatively and you’ll get a chance to ask for any changes you might like.

  7. You’ll receive all of the images through Google Drive in two file formats. Small files: for social media and web. High resolution files: for printing or large displays.
