I wrote a post earlier about teaching photography at CRCAP ( Charles River Creative Arts Program) in Dover, Mass. Talk about fertile grounds for people pictures! World class campers combined with world class counselors and counselors-in-training, there was no end to the amazing people to photograph. (more…)
Another senior picture – they are so much fun – but the story of Claire’s shoot is really different. Claire wanted to shoot at the beach. We picked a beautiful day, of course so did a ton of other people! It was one of those “fleeting days of summer quick let’s get in one more beach day” scenes along the New Hampshire coast. (more…)
Ok, here’s a winning formula – two beautiful young women who are comfortable in front of a camera, one fort dating to the mid 1800’s, a breeze that takes care of any lingering mosquitoes, and a night with stunning light. That’s the ingredients for a very fun and fruitful senior picture shoot. (more…)
It’s senior picture season – one of the great times of the year in my opinion. Ever since schools let go of the cookie-cutter approach to senior pictures, an incredibly creative avenue of photography has opened up.
Two days ago, Jordan and I – accompanied by an entourage of people, headed out to a local climbing area where he spends much of his free time bouldering and climbing. The day was intensely beautiful – warm but without humidity. (more…)
This summer I have the unique opportunity to make a return appearance at the Charles River Creative Arts Program in Dover, MA.
Two years ago I headed the photography program there and this time I’m back, sharing the duties with another very talented photographer, Ben Boyd. (more…)
Last week I was shooting photos at Synergy Health and Fitness in Exeter, NH. The photos were to be used as part of a project to update their website.
Its always a challenge to shoot and give a sense of people using a facility without having the clients be identified, so mentally I was prepared to shoot lots of silhouettes and backs of heads. (more…)
News flash – it was raining in New Hampshire last Sunday. It seems like its been doing that a lot lately…and two engagement sessions scheduled to boot.
I called Joanna and Ryan – “What ‘cha want to do?” Not even a moment’s hesitation – “Let’s shoot in the rain!” was the response, then ” The rain won’t hurt your camera, will it?” (more…)
New Hampshire weather being as fickle as it is, Ashley, Shaun and I kept getting weathered out on our plans for an engagement shoot, but managed to squeeze it in short days before their wedding.
We caught a beautiful day to meander around Portsmouth’s Prescott Park and the area around it. Highlight of the day was a boat of fisherman watching the shoot and yelling their congratulations to the couple. (more…)
A little east of Bangor, Maine is the small town of Holden. It’s actually the first place in Maine I experienced – went there on a rare family vacation long time ago when I was a kid – and it started an affair with the state that’s never ended. I’ve visited, resided, went to college, and done lots of photography in Maine, and I continue to call it home even though I wasn’t born there. (more…)
Shootinga wedding seldom allows time to really shoot anything for myself – I’m so focused on the bride, groom, wedding party…and party that an occasional frame is about all there’s a chance for.
But I had the opportunity to do a little personal shooting because I spent the night before Ben and Meridith’s wedding at the site on the lake. (more…)
