Once again, time has gotten away from me. I suppose being too busy to blog can be considered a good thing, but it makes me a little sad to not be able to share more quickly what I’ve been working on. The even sadder part, that I’m not going to be sharing any of my...

Inspiring words!
About a year and a half ago, I knew that I wanted to go deeper in my journey as a photographer and began researching lighting workshops. I found one that stood out from the rest - Zack Arias’ OneLight Workshop. I’ve written about it before, but one day (one very loooong day) with Zack and...

The dream shoot
When I tell people that I am a photographer, invariably, each person asks the same question; “What do you shoot?” A loaded question to say the least and one that I wish that I had a one word answer for, but unfortunately do not.
If you’ve seen most of my stuff, you’ll know that my...
Shooting Royalty aka a Nervous Breakdown
I’m a big fan of Annie Liebovitz – I love her imagination and inventiveness. And her lighting. A while back, I came across a video of her taking photos of the Queen of England. She and her 11 assistants were in pre-production for almost 3 weeks and she had less than 30 minutes to do...
