Well, I love photographing waterfalls in the gorge. So a natural progression is to photograph fountains. This shot was taken at the Civic Auditorium with post work in photoshop to bring out a unique undertone and pop the strips of the hoody even more. This was shot while out getting urban style photos for Vayuwear in downtown Portland. Thank you Jon for letting me tell you what to do for an evening in front of my lens.
Over the past many months I’ve been working with Fredric the founder of Vayuwear in Philadelphia, PA to come up with unique ways to capitalize on his line of organic clothing. It has been a journey in a humbling way since I took this task. Trying to find people to model clothes in a more active style is a challenge when you don’t have all the connections necessary like myself. It just makes you work that much harder to find people. Then you realize that the best people for the job could be right under your nose. Take the above shot, I taught my wife how to use my camera and then I kicked footbag for the shot. I have a lot more from this shoot, however this is just going to wet your palette for things to come.
Then for this shot I had an inlaw do what he does best run for my camera at the Kalama waterfront in Washington. It was a beautiful sunset to create a great warm color effect that I just barely adjusted in post.
Then I took my Brother-in-law out for a little hike in the Columbia River Gorge to get some more shots. One was of him jumping a gap from one pinnacle to another. I might be able to post that one later.
Then I leave you with two final images and a thank you to Fredric for his great patience, and to those here at home who put up with me thus enabling me to do my thing.
