Keith is an immensely talented up-and-coming wildlife photographer based on the Norther Oregon Coast. He had the opportunity to use the brand new Olympus M.Zuiko 150-400 PRO before it was released to the public and had me come out with him on a shoot to create some images and motion for the article that would accompany his review.
In addition, we made some lifestyle images for his own Website and social branding that show him right in one of his favorite places to capture incredible wildlife images.
There’s nothing quite like being hired by a talented photographer to document how they make their art.
I’ve got a pretty fun project I’d love to share. I Recently had the opportunity to work with a local company to photograph their entire product line in the studio.
That company just happens to be Lensbaby!
They came to me with one main request. They needed a super consistent look across the line that considered respective scale, lighting, and branding. I was incredibly grateful to work with Keith Wallach, the in-house graphic designer at Lensbaby. There’s truly no better assistant and sounding board than the guy who builds all of their Digital assets and marketing materials!
It’s also great timing as they have just started a big sale for the holidays, so if you have any of their lenses or light bending tools in mind, now’s a great time to go check them out!
Thanks for the trust and confidence in my work Lensbaby team!
Telling the Community Story
I had the pleasure of working with Columbia Credit Union on two different projects this spring. The first was a video project headed by my long-time friend Travis Shields. I provided still images for a new campaign focused on a great selection of clients and the phrase "Making Life Better".
What a great crew, interesting clients and fantastic Pacific Northwest Spring Weather!
We spent three days filming the story of 2 businesses and one 2nd generation family that has grown up with the Credit Union.
The first day was spent with Ethereal Meads, a husband and wife team that craft mead from local honey and fruit on rural land north of Vancouver.
The next day we spent the morning at a credit union branch filming an interview and then the afternoon at Franko's Dog Grooming seeing this second generation business do their thing with beloved pets/family members.
And on the final day of our project, we spent the whole day with the Marsh family, at their home and then at a local park. We heard about how they each had their own relationship with the Credit Union growing up and then merged accounts when they married and started a family.
It's been so fantastic seeing these short spots hit the credit Union's social media and I'm so happy to have been part of making it happen.
