Missionary Portraits of Dan

Here’s the order I’ve been working on today.  It’s for Dan, a missionary who’s getting ready to head out to Colombia, South America for two years.  Below is the composite I created for him.  I love how it shows different personalities and feelings, and will be a great piece for his family to enjoy at while he’s gone.

And here is a treo I created for him too.  Three images of Dan in his suit and his scriptures.

A couple years ago I photographed Dan’s brother for his missionary portraits, and now Dan is going out for his mission.  It is a great thing that he’s doing and I wish him much success.

Until next time, America!

Stand-Up Comedian, Keith Stubbs

I recently photographed Keith Stubbs, a great local stand-up comedian and radio DJ for 101.5 The Eagle. He wanted images that are hip and different that he can use for press releases, gig posters, and his new website.  He came to me because of my credentials and the fact that I have the fashion and magazine style he was looking for.

We had a great session, and it was a lot of fun.  Here are some of my favorite images.

This treo is incredibly interesting to me and really shows his personality.

This treo is just cool.  I love the feel, the colors, and personality in each image and how the images all work together.

Here’s a treo showing Keith laughing with a mic in his hand.  This to me, represents him on stage performing and have a good time doing it.

I wish Keith luck with these new images.  I love them and know that he is very excited about them too.  If any of you reading this, need some new photographs for press or just for fun, let me know.  I’d love to create something like this for you.

Until next time, America.

Shupe’s New Album

Shupe

Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand have a new album coming out in a few days. The photo shoot was a lot of fun, and I was curious to see how the record label would use the images in the final layout.

Having seen the final layout, I can tell you that it will look cool! Here is a sneak peak of the cover.

Ryan Shupe - Last Man

I think it has a cool vibe to it and I’m excited to hear the final tracks.

I love photographing bands. Those kinds of shoots allow me to be the most creative and try completely new things. They are also very exhausting, because like many commercial shoots, they are an all day gig without any breaks.

For this photo shoot we even built some amazing sets too, so it would look like we were in an old hotel’s narrow hallway.

Shupe - Hotel

Some of those ‘hotel’ images are on the group’s website as the headers, like this image below.

Shupe Header 1

Go to their site and hit refresh a few times and check out the different header images. And while you are there, buy an early copy of the CD so you get a signed copy, and check out the tour dates coming up, and watch some of their fun videos.

If you go to any concerts, come say hi to me! :-)

Until next time America,

Joe McQueen Day!

Some years ago, Utah Governor Leavitt made April 18th, the official “Joe McQueen Day” in Utah. Joe is infamous to jazz musicians in Utah — an absolute legend. He has played Jazz in Utah professionally since his 20′s, and is about to turn 90 next month.

Throughout that time, Joe has played with the absolute pinnacle leaders of the jazz movement: Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, Lester Young, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Chet Baker, to name a few.

Joe and I met years ago while I was playing the tenor sax in my jazz group in college, and because of that friendship had the privilege of doing some portraits of him recently.

Joe McQueen 4Joe still plays regularly in the clubs of Ogden, and today being ‘Joe McQueen Day,’ he’ll be playing tonight at the Wine Cellar, located at 2550 Washington Blvd starting at 9:00 pm.

Back in the day, Ogden, Utah was one of the biggest hubs for Jazz east of the Mississippi, and Joe was right in the middle of it all. I feel honored to know him, to be able to create such emotional portraits of him, and am very excited to take my date tonight to see him play in downtown Ogden.For my readers that live in Utah, if you are free tonight and love jazz music, you should come down and see a jazz legend perform on his day, in the old jazz district that he loves.Until next time America!

Commercial Work: Dr. Feller & Robot

Many people may not know that I do quite a bit of commercial work. Not just the photography, but the design work and printing as well — from bands and cd work, to business cards, to billboards and large vinal banners, for car dealerships, real estate agents, and others. These companies like the fact that I have very competitive pricing on all types of printing, while keeping the quality high.

Here is a recent job I did which can be seen hanging on this doctor’s building in Holladay. I’m doing some more work for this orthodontist this week, so thought I’d post this on my blog for you all to see.

Feller Banner

This orthodontist specialized in a new kind of braces where the teeth are first computer modeled, and then the wire for the braces is bent by a robot. It speeds up the time in which you wear braces.

This robot for this image is actually a 14 inch tall toy made by Sony. I photographed each individually, then after some extensive work putting the two together, produced this banner which stands about 20 feel tall and looks amazing, even up close.

Notice how even the robot casts a perfect shadow on the doctor. Very cool! :-)

Well, until next time America.
