Portraits, Lately

This year, I’ll want this blog to give you a bit more of a behind-the-scenes look at my life as a photographer. 

I often get asked about the kinds of people who reach out to me for photos. It really varies, but the one thing in common that my clients have is that they need photos of themselves to put online somewhere. In this post, I’ll go through a few portrait commissions that I’ve had over the last several months. I’ll share who these people are and what they needed the photos for.

My Second Website is Online!

For the past few years, I’ve had this question in my head.

If I had no clients, what would I be photographing?

The answer to that isn’t clear to me yet, but I know that my personal projects point towards the intersection of art and science. I haven’t shared much so far because I’ve always had a hard time fitting both my commissioned client work with my personal projects into a comprehensive yet cohesive website. So I grabbed a huge metaphorical sharpie and drew a straight line right across my photography and brain.

Fuji's Headshots Over a Year

shiba-inu-puppy-photo

BIG UPDATE! Fuji is now (technically) an adult. I’m still kind of in denial about it, but yes, he’s a bit over one year old now. So this means I’ve picked up his poop over 500 times. Lucky bastard.
